What is it about shoes that attract us girls?! Purses and shoes are my favorite accessories. When the season changes, it’s a sign to me that it’s time for new shoes!! In the fall and winter months, I love the mule shoe. You know, it’s sort of a slip on boot. This causal shoe can be worn with anything from jeans to dress pants. The place that I often purchase my seasonal mules is Target. They have some really cute mules.
In honor of me being their number one shoe fan, Target did something grand this year. They named a shoe after me! Seriously, it’s called the “Micah.” They may not know they name a shoe after me, but they did! Even though they spelled it wrong, how cool is that! It’s so cool that my husband tried to take credit for it.
Monday was my husband’s and mine anniversary. We’ve been married 18 years! I can honestly say I love him more now than when we first got married. I think it’s because of all we’ve been through together. We’ve got history. Some of our history is packed with good memoires while other parts are not so good. I believe it’s the “not so good” parts that brought us close together and developed an undying love for one another.
At dinner Monday night, tucked away in a romantic corner both, Pat agreed that our marriage has been a good one. Then he added, “If you were to die, I wouldn’t remarry.”
Ohhhhhh, wasn’t that sweet?! That’s what I was thinking until he added, “Because I don’t think I could take anymore training from another woman.”
I considered throwing my water on him but I knew he’d throw his back at me. I also knew that my husband is a jokester and he didn’t mean a word of it! At least that’s what I’m telling myself.
Every year he gives me a card with money tucked inside for our anniversary. He knows how I love to shop for shoes.
After I found the “Micah” shoe, I was excited to tell my husband about it. Do you know he took credit for the name? He tried to convince me that he had the shoe named after me for our anniversary. Now, I’ve heard of people naming stars after their beloved, but never shoes. I wasn’t buying it.
The truth is, no matter how it came about, I have my own shoe! The “Micah” shoe! If you have these same shoes, I’d love to know and get your review about them. Perhaps I’ll come to your town for a speaking engagement and we can all wear our shoes. How fun!

Hey Micca,
Love the new shoe named after you!
Hey… use this line on Pat the next time you come home with a new pair of shoes or a new handbag
“Honey, don’t you know that no matter how wide a girls hips might get… our purses and shoes will always fit”
Love you,
Zoe

You should feel honored! A shoe named just for you! What a hoot. I love it! Praising the Lord for a wonderful anniversary celebration. And for your husbands funny comment. Steve and I celebrated 17 back in May.

I went to Target tonight to buy some shoes in honor of you, but they didn’t have my size. I will have to shop for my own pair of “Micah” mules on line. Oh, that doesn’t sound good. My own pair of cute Micahs.
Happy Anniversary to both you and Pat!!!
Hugs,
Renee

Micah,
I am so excited to see this post. It was sent to me by one of my friends. God is definitely up to something. Check out my blog http://faithwithheels.blogspot.com because I talk all about faith and highlight shoes.

Micca,
Not only do I have “your” shoe, I have 2 pair – brown and black. I love them – they have to be the most comfortable and pratical shoes I’ve ever owned.
If you are in or around the Atlanta area – let me know so our shoes can get together!
Happy belated Anniversary.
Love ya!
Tracy

Ouch! That one hurt! Particularly when you asked, “if so, why do you think God is pruning you again?” Because I’m a hard-headed Type A, that’s why! This isn’t the first devotion I’ve read this week on this topic. Guess I need to hear it a lot.

How fun! And it reminded me of going shoe shopping for She Speaks (not that I get a new pair for every event, mind you, it was just time – ahem – yeah, time…). I had been all over looking for something I could afford and then found a pair on clearance that I kind of liked. I was trying to make a decision when I saw the name: “Sammie’s”! They literally had my name written all over them!
Have fun in YOUR shoes!
Sam (aka Sammi to all those who knew me in high school!)
