The Quest for the Perfect Dress

May 2, 2009.

That date is set in stone. That is the day the Jessica will make her First Holy Communion. She has been attending Catechism Classes for the past two years and is excited about the big day. She is also looking forward to taking part in Communion at Mass and not just receiving a "blessing."

Well, good old mom here just thought I would just Google First Communion Dresses, click add to cart and we would be all set. Wrong! Most dresses won't ship till Jun 15th. I guess this is the peak time and having only one daughter... I missed that page in the handbook.

So off we went, store after store, catalog after catalog. Then, in the most oddest place, the lady busts out a catalog and her face brightens-"there it is, my dress." Of course, I am stressing thinking, June 15th delivery date, right? No, we will have "The Dress," next Wednesday.

As we left the store, hand in hand, she said, "see mom, we believed and it all worked out." Yes, Jessica, it all worked out. I love you.

Peace.
