Props to my husband (and to Mignon Faget)

So I got home today for my four days of R&R.  I'm not sure I've ever been so excited to walk in my back door.  I also am not sure my dogs have ever freaked out at seeing me quite as much as they did today.  It was a nice feeling.  :)

Since I don't have anything really work-related to write about, I thought I'd share a sweet story involving my husband and Mignon Faget (a jewelry designer from NOLA who happens to be a favorite of mine).  Our two-year wedding anniversary was this past weekend.  I initially wasn't scheduled for a day off until the end of July, but my husband ended up planning a last minute trip to come visit me so that we could actually spend our anniversary together.  So anyway, Mignon Faget has recently designed a Gulf Coast Collection of jewelry, with sales benefiting the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana.  My husband decided that one of these pieces would make a most excellent anniversary present for me (he was spot on).  The problem was, they were back ordered for 4 weeks.  Not to be dissuaded, my husband sent an email to Mignon Faget customer service explaining the situation - that I was out of town working on the oil spill and he desperately wanted to have this gift in time to bring it to me on his visit for our anniversary; was there any way he could pay extra to get one shipped early?  Much to his surprise, the piece arrived at the house 2 days later, at no extra charge. 

My husband never ceases to amaze me in how thoughtful and romantic he can be.  He chose a beautiful piece of jewelry that I will always treasure, and will always remind me of this summer.  And big thanks to Mignon Faget for going above and beyond.  Here is a link to the collection:  Mignon Faget Gulf Coast Collection.
