Amidst the hustle of life, there are few things that stick by your side - and even fewer things that stick close to your feet. Ah, yes, shoes. Our dear friends, shoes. No one thinks twice about stepping on them or stepping in something yucky while wearing them. And still, our shoes go on being shoes. Faithful, dependable....shoes. Today, we remember my shoes mary and jane. They have been so good to me. I was a wee Sophomore in college when I met them. Dr Marten highly recommended them to me. Said they would bring long life and good wear - comforting, yet stylish - -AND oil, fat, and acid resistant:) So much has taken place in my shoes. I wore them through final exams, soccer games, dates with Ben - honey moon with Ben :) :) :) I wore them to the hospital and home from the hospital with both kids. I've worn them in the rain, in the cold, in the snow (yes they have seen snow:) and still they look good. Sadly, my shoes took a turn for the worst tonight. My strap elastic broke!!!! Sorrow to my heart!!!! I have chosen to remember the good days.....the 9 long years of good days and fun times. Mary and Jane will be missed, but hopefully replaced quickly!

A few moments of silence for Mary and Jane--------- Okay, now lets go shopping and get some new best friends!!!! Count me in! :)
Hi Debbie,
I just had to leave a comment since I was with you when you bought those shoes!! I remember that you had to call your dad from a payphone in the mall to ask permission since they were kinda expensive! Definitely a good buy, huh?! Very cute blog! The pictures of your boys are so adorable! We like to keep up with all of you. Someday we will make it to Pensacola again!
