The Brown Shirt, cont.

So we got The Brown Shirt washed and it now smells really nice. It’s also not quite as soft as it was before, which really grosses me out when I think about how sweaty it must have been. But, since it’s clean and fresh, I decided to take a closer look to see just what it said.

It says, “God Save The Queen” in an old-timey calligraphy and has a British flag with some fuzzy brown swirlies around the outside of it.

Top-notch, I say.

Joey put it on and said, “I really hope I don’t run into whoever used to own this shirt. That could be kind of awkward.”

“Yeah,” I said, “You can just tell him you got it from your wife.” Because everyone knows it’s possible for two people to have the same t-shirt.

Joey shrugged his shoulders around, adjusting the shirt. “I think it’s too big.”

“Honey, it’s a medium. There’s no way a medium is too big for you.” (He’s quite strong.)

“OK, but I just feel like it’s supposed to fit tighter.” He shrugged and wiggled some more.

“You look very nice,” I assured him.

And so he wore The Brown Shirt to work today and probably had an even better Friday because of it. I bet all his co-workers are jealous. Sorry there’s no pictures but our camera is still stolen.

Joey is my best friend. We welcomed our miracle baby, Analie Alexa on November 23, 2010. She was 7 lbs of cuteness and we are so thankful for her. We lost our first baby (who we symbolically named Samuel) the summer of 2009. I love being a Christian, even when it's hard. I've tried IVF. Twice. It worked. Once. That's how we got Analie. I'm always willing to talk about infertility. Diagnosis: Stage 4 Endometriosis (plus a few other bonus things) I'm live in Indiana. I enjoy reading and going for walks in the evening. I get my news from NPR. Someday I want to be a guest on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. I love backpacking, hiking, canoeing and survival camping. I'm a big fan of weekends. My bike's name is Thunder. I'm a youth pastor's wife. I dig cows. I don't handle stress well. I'm not good at fishing; I talk too much. Cooking and baking are my favorite. I love hanging out with my girlfriends! I'm a budding environmentalista. I love me my Joey. Texas is where we "came of age". I enjoy seeing animals and want my very own Alpaca. And Koala. And Panda. Conservation is beautiful. I'm a neat freak. I like all-natural, chemical-free, environmentally-friendly products. Green is my favorite color. Still.
