Remember this? I wrote about this at little lovely at Coldwater Creek right after Christmas while shopping for a pair of black jeans. If you haven't, go back and check out the December 30, 2011 post. So this won't get too wordy, I am going to add a few random valentine's pics for you to enjoy!!!!
This week was a big week around here. After 3 years of study for my "Silver Fox" it came down to 75 questions to pass his RN boards. We ended up traveling to Rochester, MN to pass Iowa boards.....now doesn't that make sense? It was the closest location we could find so he could take it this week.

So while he was taking the test I was at the nearby mall, shopping and praying for my guy to do his best. And what was the first store I happen to spot......Coldwater Creek, here I come. Now just remember I don't have one close by..... so this gets me excited. I head to the sale racks and start going through every item and what to my wondering eye should appear but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer........no that's not right....couldn't help myself. :)
But there was the little black dress I so loved 8 weeks ago, marked down twice since then and then an additional 50% off. I was beside myself. So I hauled two different sizes to the "dress up" room. And while I was trying them on.....Adele came on singing .......Rolling In The Deep..... which for some reason that is still not clear to me, I LOVE this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XV9IQ_JzDhg&feature=related
Well, I took this as a sign...the clearance price pretty much had me as long as it didn't look like a sack on......which it didn't. So I now have this little sweet thing hanging in my closet waiting.......

After checking my watch a couple times thinking of my guy killing himself on this test. He finally called ....the test took a little over an hour and the computer shut down at question 75, which was the minimum number of questions you could take. To say this was an emotional moment right there in Apache Mall was an understatement as he met me and burst into tears as soon as he saw me. We stood right there hugging, crying and pretty much oblivious to everyone around us. As we finally could say this journey is finished.

| A beautiful valentine that my Grandma K. received at some time....isn't it stunning? |
After pulling ourselves together I told him about finding the dress, the song, the clearance, the sign......then the bag with said dress. He loved it.....now where to wear this baby on it debut.......stay tuned!!!
P.S. I am taking a little break, but will be back in a couple weeks hopefully with some inspiring things to share with you.
