What A Day!!!
A little story timeâŚ.. after the incident at school, regarding the boy making those remarks about Addyâs appearance, I made a trip to my local (Covington, LA) Ulta. I mentioned it was her birthday and gave a little backstory. I figured, if she wanted to wear makeup, letâs have a professional pick out whatâs best for her skin, and show her how to use it. I made that appointment on 11/21 and scheduled it for today. On 11/25, I get a call from them stating the person who was going to do it, no longer works there, and they couldnât accommodate us. I was devastated and in tears. This meant a lot to me, to do this for Addy. Completely on a whim, I called the Hammond location, and they were able to get us booked. On 11/26, I received a call from the Hammond location, that started out just like the first conversation, but turned into something amazing. The store manager Courtney, called to get specifics about Addy, so she could make it extra special for her. She too, has gone through Leukemia treatment just like Addy. She and Via (who did her makeup) were the absolute BEST! She was pampered, we bought a bunch of products, did some shopping, went to a birthday party, dinner and a movie. It was an exhausting day, but so worth it to see her smile! Big thank you to Jessica for setting up the Happy Birthday yard sign, Christy for the best birthday card ever and to Cathyâs Confections for yet another year of delicious cookies. Still canât believe my girl is 13!!!
