ShoeGate 2013

Every Christmas

we go home

to winter.

And the cold.

And snow. 

And every year,

I want to buy myself a pair of boots.

I don't have any.

I usually wear an old pair

of hiking boots,

or just some booties.

I never buy any.

It just doesn't make sense

to spend tons of money

on boots that will be worn 

for 3-4 weeks in a year.

At the end of October,

I saw a cute pair of booties

online

and on sale.

I thought,

since they were fairly cheap,

I could order them

and have them sent home to 

Canada.

That way,

I'd arrive to a cute pair of boots.

Only,

in my excitement,

I didn't check the mailing address

and had them sent here.

It was then December

and we were heading home.

My boots hadn't arrived.

And thus

ShoeGate happened. 

While shopping at Walmart

a few days before Christmas

I bought myself a cheap pair of boots.

I had no clue

that a part of my Christmas present

was a gift card to Aldo's 

to buy a pair of boots.

ShoeGate!

I used my Aldo card

to get myself

2 cute pairs of booties. 

Fast forward to this weekend.

We've all forgotten about

ShoeGate.

I head to Mercury

as I'm told I have a package.

My father-in-law sent some mail.

I got a care package from a mate in the US.

Oh, and a cute pink box.

My boots!!!!!!

ShoeGate 2013 has come back!!!

Aren't these the cutest?
How could something so small
and so cute
cause such an issue?
