This afternoon I decided to start a major undertaking. I wanted to clean out the closet and thin out our growing collection of shoes. Now, keep in mind, there are three girls sharing the same closet, we get lots of hand-me-downs, and we keep shoes forever. So, with that in mind, this is what I found:
I guess it’s about time to get rid of some, don’t you think? While I was pulling everything out though, I started remembering random things that have happened to me involving shoes…
These are my debate tournament slippers I always looked forward to wearing Friday night.
These were the shoes I wore all around the United States while we were on our 8 month trip.
I was wearing these boots when a horse stepped on my foot and didn’t budge during a therapeutic riding horse show I was volunteering in.
I showed up to orchestra practice one Saturday morning in casual clothes and these flip flops…and ended up playing music during a funeral that was taking place in the same building.
These were my friend Lydia’s amazing red shoes she wore during our graduation last year. She gave them to me and made me happy 
.
I was wearing these clunky shoes when I won regionals in LD a few years back.
I left these shoes at a tournament in Houston last year. It was quite tragic. But then they showed up at the next tournament that was held there.
These were my favorite Christmas present from last year .
These were supposed to be my debate shoes from last season…but then I left them at home before the first tournament. So they were promptly replaced with another pair that have seemingly disappeared.
And there you have it. You never know what you’ll find when you clean out your closet .
Ok I’ll admit, looking at all those shoes reminds me of when the President of the Philippines was ejected for corruption and the press found 3000 shoes in his wife’s closet.
And of course this kind of comment calls for the 10 most (in)famous shoes in history.
Toni. This is amazing. And I love you.
wow! that’s impressive. Ooh I know where the shoes that have seemingly dissapeared are; there coming back tomorrow
I remeber the video Beth made about you forgetting your shoes… You know those stories of quilts where all the quilts have different stories? Well I think your shoe closet is sorta like that… lol

Haha, yes! Ok, these shoe pics are great.
