Today is the happiest day of my life. Well, that might be an exaggeration but it really is a great day! I was going to order a new pair of jeans. I found my favorite brand in the cut that I like on sale (really...super sale!). I pulled out my pre-pregnancy clothes to reference the too small size. Against better judgement I began trying on this clothes. Here comes the happy part...most of them fit! I have reconnected with my old jeans and it feels good.
I have memories with many of these jeans. Most women have experienced trauma when trying on jeans. I remember buying each one of them. I don't remember buying most of the slacks or shirts but boy do I remember the jeans. I remember when they became too big when I was really sick and I remember when they became too small because of my pregnancies. I remember when Sam wrote on my favorite pair with a Sharpie. I remember the skinny jeans ripping at the knee (who has fat knees?!?). I couldn't believe the feelings that I had today...excitement, nostalgia, and familiarity. Thank you jeans for making today great!
