Why I'll Be Wearing Boots

Monday, September 29, 2014


I love my cowboy boots. They go line dancing with me, they go struttin' around campus with me, they go to football games, they go to construction site visits, they go to dusty farms... My boots are like a piece of me. So when my BFF Caroline decided her belated 21st birthday party was going to be Music City themed after her summer in Nashville for an internship, you can imagine how ready I was to put on my boots!

While we were celebrating, I started line dancing because that's just what I do when a good country song comes on and I'm wearing boots. And then while I was dancing I had a revelation, regarding my debate between wearing heels or boots on my wedding day. Obviously that day is a couple years down the road, but it occurred to me in that moment how much confidence my boots give me. Not that I'm not confident without them, but with boots on my feet I feel beautiful, unstoppable, and on top of the world. That's the feeling I want on my wedding day; that's why I'll be wearing boots. 

And I'll especially be wearing boots if it's all beautiful and snowy! I'd never thought of a winter wedding until I saw this picture... Hmm :)
