Michael got new ski boots for his birthday this year. They cost a pretty penny but the last ones he got lasted him 15 years and he skis in them all winter. He likes them!! It's so fun to give your spouse a nice gift for them to enjoy. We've skipped out on giving each other gifts for the last two years of our marriage, and this year we got serious about gift giving! Since my birthday is on May 9th which is Mother's Day this year and my due date is May 14th (which could end up being 5 days early) I keep telling Michael that I will need a big gift on that day! I wonder what he will get me. Here he is with his boots.
They were a little tight at first.
Lookin' good.
The boots are "walkable" which means with one flick of a strap, they become easier to walk in. It was one of the things that sold me on them when we heard about them at the patrol banquet. So when Michael comes up on a scene, he can just pull the strap and be able to walk to the patient. Michael has mastered the skiers walk, especially inside a building and with patients, so I don't know if he'll even use this feature, but I (the non-skier) thought it was cool.
And they are off as fast as they are on.
Happy 35th birthday babe. I LOVE YOU.
