We are attending a wedding this weekend. And the Lumberjack decided he needed a new shirt. So we went clothes shopping for him last night, something I have not done with him in about 8 years. No joke.
His store of choice?
D&B Farm and Home.
For a wedding.
I am sorry, but I was thinking Macy’s of Kohl’s or something of that nature.
While we were dating, we would shop together at places like Abercrombie & Fitch, Gap, and Old Navy.
On Saturdays, we would go for coffee, go for walks, go shopping, rent movies, and go out to dinner.
Now on Saturdays, he goes out into the great outdoors to fish, hunt, or fall trees.
The last movie we watched together was Convoy.
Yes, that is based on that ridiculous song he likes.
And yes, he fell asleep during it.
Because it does not matter what the movie is, he will always fall asleep.
I got in trouble last night because I kept laughing at all the western shirts with the pearly buttons.
I wonder if the Lumberjack wants us to ride in a tractor to the wedding?
“Taylor! Everyone in here wears this kind of stuff! Stop laughing!”
But it was just us in there. And the employees.
One nice lady came to offer us help:
“You are so lucky,”she said to me. “I can’t get my husband out of his gray t-shirt. I finally talked him into a button down flannel for nicer occasions.”
Oh, help me. Is this my future?
I helped him pick out a shirt.
I had to give in and be okay with a shirt with pearly buttons.
But he does not know that I picked out a shirt for him that matches mine!
Apparently it is manly to wear pearly buttons, but not manly to coordinate with your wife.
Ha! Take that, cowboy!
I love my handsome cowboy/lumberjack/fisherman/hunter/electrician/do-it-yourselfer former mall shopping/coffee drinking/JCrew wearing husband.
matchy-matchy! 🙂
You’ve gotta take pictures so we can all see the cute matching couple 🙂
Does David know that you have a blog? Does he read it? I actually kind of like the shirt. And I really think that the pearly buttons are a fantastic choice.
I must know if he reads this.
Yes, he reads it! We have an open “teasing” relationship! He knew I was going to write about our shopping trip last night! He likes being a lumberjack, so it’s cool. 🙂
He knows I think he is hot.
Hey, at least he’s comfortable and confident with who he is. 🙂
Oh, and I have a shirt with pearly buttons. It’s actually from the 70’s. I like it alot – it just fits a little snug these days.
I think that David should start his own blog. I would love to hear his narrative self.
And I think he could probably do a really good job of teasing you back. The only unfortunate thing about this medium is that he will not have the option of imitating you speak.
He does that so well.
I love your blog. It brings comic relief to my life.
I can SO relate! This is how my husband shops, too. Sigh.
