Today the UPS man pulled up outside my house and I just knew that the package he had was for me! I bounced over to the back door shooing mom (who was doing a perfectly legitimate load of laundry) out of the way as I threw open the door and beamed at the delivery guy. He very cooperatively and calmly handed over the long flat box and wished me a great day- "Oh, it is now!" I told him!
In minutes my treasure was opened and proudly and anxiously I wiggled and pulled them on. And guess what?
THEY FIT!!
I actually did a little dance.
Because they were awesome. And they felt great. And they were everything I dreamed them to be!!
I looked down and saw this:
Yes! Those are MY feet in BOOTS!
Amazing.So why the boot love you ask? Well if you know anything about me and the condition of my feet then you would know that for me to be able to get them in- much less comfortably in- to anything other than my standard sneakers and brace is a small victory.
Strike that.
This is a huge victory for me!!
Today the poor 15 year old me that literally wept her way through a cowboy boot store is pumping her fist and giggling with glee.
So I just thought I'd share and continue my victory dance online! :)
And of course- show off my totally cool boots!
"Started out just nails and leatherBuilt to last and made for weather
Can't think of nothin' better,
than what I'm wearin' on my feet
They make me taller than I really am
Ain't nothing they can't withstand
a symbol o the workin' man
and old cowgirls like me..."
-Joey and Rory, "Boots"
