I’m no longer in college
I feel great about how much stuff we got accomplished this weekend. The house looks 10x better than it did on Friday, and I got to have fun with Katie and baby C. I also caught up some on sleep, and we even made it to church this morning!
But I’ve got to whine. I am beyond happy that I found time this evening to clean out my closet. After Christmas I always need to find room for the new clothes and get rid of stuff I haven’t worn in a year … or haven’t been able to wear in years.
You see, I took a break from cleaning out my closet this evening to show off my nice suit. I got the suit a few years ago for a friend’s wedding, and that was probably the only time I’ve worn the thing. My friend had a brilliant idea for his groomsmen: instead of forcing everyone to pay out the ear for a tux for one evening, let’s all buy nice, tailored suits that we can use for years!
Except I wasn’t able to wear it for years. I’ve apparently grown some since that wedding not five years ago, and I’m not talking about my waistline.
My nice suit got used all of once. Maybe H will appreciate it.

Yeah, I started to ask the same thing, and, then I thought I might be setting myself up for something.

I think men go through a “maturing” process around their mid to late twenties. Their shoulders get broader, their entire frame seems to change; as if they are getting ready to “shoulder” more responsibility and their body grows to allow that. IDK, it’s just my theory.

My first husband grew, like, two inches taller after we got married. The suit he wore to our rehearsal dinner (he turned 21 the week we got married) was a highwater suit when he next tried it on a few years later.

I’m shrinking - maybe you could give me your hand-me-downs.
