Good Bye Old Friends

I just recently got a brand new pair of very cute black high heels. The best thing about these shoes is that I got them for free. A store in the mall was having a buy one get one free sale on all of their shoes. Stephanie and I went down there to exchange a dress but then of course got stuck when we started looking at shoes. Anyway to make a long story short Stephanie bought a pair of shoes and then told me that I could get a pair and they could be the free ones. How could any girl say no to that? The only sad part of the story is that now I have to retire my old pair of black heels. This is sad because I have had these shoes for at least three or four years and there is a cute little story about how I acquired them for free as well.
All of my relatives and I were at my Grandma's funeral standing around and talking to everyone who had come to pay there respects. I walk over to say hi to my cousin Becky when randomly she asks me my shoe size. That was a weird question to ask at a funeral. Anyway, I told her that I wore a size six and then asked why. She replied with another question. "Do you like these shoes I'm wearing?", she asked. I answered with an immediate, "Yes, I love them". To my surprise she then asked me if I wanted them and the rest is history.
I know it's not a very exciting story but I could not just throw the shoes way that have hung on for so long with out doing something. So I took a picture of the poor shoes and this is all I could think of to do.
