Some call it a passion I think of it more as a monthly expense that well at times can be very satisfying and at others more of a ,“where is the money in the budget for all the things we need”. The search for the perfect item seems to never be what you expect , its kind of like you sit down at a expensive restaurant and order something very exotic and expensive , but your husbands cheeseburger taste much better. I think I know going in to a shop what it is I'm looking for , but I usually come out with something totally opposite of what I originally sought out to get. I guess that is part of the fun, almost like a scavenger hunt for that shirt that fits perfect and still remains affordable.
The adventure takes on a will of its own when it comes to shopping for the family. I have learned that what I think is the cutest most appropriate outfit is not quite viewed the same way through the eyes of an eight year old girl. The compromise must begin ! We seem to come back and forth to each other with different articles of clothes at least fifty times before the agreement can be made. We look at each other and smile , because I think we both know in our heads that through the disagreeing we have really had fun just being together. I think the silver lining at the end of a long day of shopping and compromising for me is, is that I spent one more day showing my daughter, who is still full of innocence one more life lesson of becoming a young woman.
About once a month the scavenger hunt starts all over, as another important event arrives or the season changes we start the search again. The same disagreements the same differences in clothing , but the same shared experiences of being with mommy. I know one day she will be a teenager and be making these choices in clothing by herself , my prayer for her is that some piece of what I taught her all those years will stay inside her and give her the wisdom to make good choices. I will forever cherish the memories of our times together, because with a blink of an eye I will be by her side as she searches for the perfect wedding dress.
