What He Wears

Because Mike works in an office 5 days a week, his closet is full of dress shirts and dress pants (all of which, I might add, are ironed by him). Long sleeved dress shirts, short sleeved dress shirts, striped dress shirts, checkered dress shirts, solid dress shirts, black dress pants, khaki dress pants, oh! and a few ties - you name it, it is probably in his closet. Paired with black dress socks and some dress shoes, he is all 'dressed up' and ready to do some serious business.


And so, it is understandable that when he comes home - before doing anything else - he goes upstairs to change into something a little more comfy. Usually jeans, a t-shirt and his beloved navy blue cord shirt.

It is worth mentioning that there is one piece of clothing that is older than our relationship. That means this sweatshirt is over 16 years old, purchased when Mike first started tree-planting. The cuffs are completely frayed and the collar is almost totally worn through, but it is still warm and cozy. It has been tossed into the 'give-away' pile a few times in moments of weakness, and then ends up back in his closet. This sweatshirt has lived through travelling, renovations, camping, and every day wear-and-tear.


Just like the owner, a definite keeper.
