prayin and prayin

Just writing a quick post to ask for all of you for your prayers.

As I mentioned in a post earlier this week, I have a sweet sweet grandfather, Granddaddy, who will be 92 this December. He is kindest, silliest old man in all the world, and I love him dearly.

He is the only grandparent I have left and
I get so giddy when I think about him seeing me in my wedding gown. 

He fell late last night and broke his hip.
He is in the hospital now in Florida where he lives with my Aunt and Uncle.
They are saying surgery will probably take place in the morning.

Please keep him, his health, and my family in your prayers.
Grandparents are such a special thing, but so are dads and I cannot imagine the thoughts running through my crazy Daddy's head right now as his father lies in a hospital bed two states away.

I know I can count on yall to be praying.
Thank you.

xo,
Shans

tgif and shoe update

Woo! It is Friday already!!
It is truly amazing how much faster the week goes by at my new job.
Sadly, it seems like the weekends are going by faster too :(

My bestie, Lucy, is in town for just one night tonight -- definitely not long enough, but I am still so excited to get a chance for a night on the town with her.

My sweet grandaddy is also in town (he will be 92 in December!) and I am SO excited to be having dinner with him and the rest of the family tonight.

SHOE UPDATE!
__________________________________

A few days ago I told y'all what I was looking for in a shoe.
Alex did some serious stalking and found a Kate Spade that seriously fit almost every criteria.


Only problem is that is is a little more than I would like to spend on a shoe that I will clearly never be able to wear again...I mean it is blue and sparkly....

So, I went on a reconnaissance mission to see if I could find something similar but less expensive.
This is what I found.


Striking resemblance, no?

Much less expensive. Not quite as polished of a look as I would like, but in all honestly people won't see them that much.. I can't lie and say they are just as good because they are no Kate Spade, but I do think they are pretty a good good knock off.

Thoughts please!
