Last Day of May

Ya'll, I have some serious joy in my heart today. There was also a little strife, but that came later, and not really at my expense. 

For starters, I ordered this SHIRT back at the beginning of April, but never received it. I'd sent an email out to the company, with wavering expectations of hearing back. I was told that when the next batch of them came in, a replacement would be shipped.

Well... 

This came toooodayyy! Yeyeyeyeh, I know I probably read too far into this, but hey - if there's anything I really love to do, it's give credit where it's most definitely due. I got the shirt, yes. That little blue card down there is a hand-penned note from Rikki at OhioExplored, explaining that the 8x10 print, decal stickers and gold engraved cuff are a complimentary apology for the delay. 

CUSTOMER SERVICE, MUCH?! It's pretty daggone hard to really, really surprise me, but this one got me right in the feels. I hadn't asked for anything extra, and certainly wasn't expecting anything other than exactly what I'd originally purchased. I'm crazy impressed ya'll. If you're an Ohio junkie like me, you'd better take a moment to check out @OhioExplored, @RedGiraffeDesigns & @ChampaignPaper - all Ohio-based, and all awesome. 

It made my day, seriously. Then, there was after work; I set off on the final leg of my adventure hunting down the items for both of the boxes for our small group's sponsorship in the Clermont County Foster program: 

so excited!! 

We'll deliver these two tomorrow night at small group, and they'll continue on to two of the seniors graduating both from high school and the Clermont County Foster program. I'm honored to be a part of this, and more so to be charged with the procurement of said items. Excited! :) 

There was a quick dinner date with Rob, followed by an unscripted evening hosting one of my best friends for a sleepover. The evening took a turn for the unpleasant, but as with all things unfavorable, I'm a proponent of hopeful belief that this too shall pass.

I'm going to leave that right there, for anyone else who might need it today. I hope that wherever I've found you tonight, fellow blogger, that you've had someone remind you that you are worth exactly what you want, and you are worthy of being loved for all that you are and aren't. You are wonderful :). 

Good night, for now - see you tomorrow ... In JUNE!
