Oh mister sun, sun, mister golden sun. Please shine down on me!

I am proud to say that I have never been particularly materialistic. Physical possessions have had little meaning in my life thus far. The few things I deeply care about carry sentimental value, and even then, I've avoided boasting about their importance.

However, on Sunday, I realized the imminence of the flood concern. We still didn't realize the devastation that was yet to come, but we knew that a flood would shortly be arriving. After consulting with a few friends, I realized that every Target, Walmart, and shoe store in the area was completely sold out of rainboots. I turned to the internet, and saw that stores were pretty much sold out of my size even online (I wear size five...)! Anyway, I decided to settle for some boots from Target. I ordered a size six and paid twenty-five dollars for them, including shipping. That's pretty cheap I guess, but it's a lot for a college kid.

My boots arrived in the mail TODAY and I couldn't be any more stoked. They're a bit big, but that doesn't matter! I'm so pumped to have dry feet. Whether rain, mud, or snow, nothing will get through these boots.

Best twenty-five dollars I've ever spent.
