my shoes and the story behind them.

vibrams were on sale this past week, so caleb let me choose some and buy them online! i had been checking pretty much every day to see if they had come in, but sadly they hadn't. we finally got them in the mail yesterday, in the middle of a melt-down for me. why the melt-down? because for work, i had to put in a clear nose stud...but the ones i bought were the wrong size, and the ones i had were too small...so i used the ones that were too small...and my hole was too small to fit my normal nose rings in...so i took out my nose ring and let it close up all the way. he let me cry for about 20 minutes before he told me to stop crying and handed me my shoes. it took a while, but i stopped crying [and only was inwardly sulking...which he told me to stop doing too;] and got to enjoy my new shoes. i love my husband...and that he tells me to "snap out of it" when i need to. sometimes, i just need somebody to tell me about all the starving people in africa to get myself to calm down ( not really, but  that sounds like what my mom did when i was younger, when she tried to get me to eat asparagus, "rachel...eat your asparagus...there are starving people in africa who would love your asparagus!!!" me: gag. ). haha. he just told me it wasn't the end of the world and hugged me and said "now...stop crying."
i got to parade them around when we went grocery shopping yesterday after my melt-down and buy groceries for our little housie. he ended up making a delicious dinner, and we enjoyed the rest of the evening.
