I took S9 and D16 Christmas shopping yesterday, we had a blast! D16 is VERY fashion-conscious and her tastes are starting to wear off on me. I ended up buying an Affliction t-shirt (over 60 bucks for a t-shirt, that is a 180 for me, LOL!!!!) as well as another very cool shirt with her input. Bought her some Rock Revival jeans for Christmas (140 bucks for crying out loud).
I'm guessing you guys were at The Buckle. Reason is I just did same thing. Majority of my T-shirts have either Under Armor or Nike logo so 180 for me was to buy nicer T-shirts. My Affliction shirts came off clearance rack though because I just couldn't make it through the line with $50 T-shirt.

My W is still in house but I relate to this completely. I feel like I'm alone in the house even when she's there. It's hard to explain and I can't imagine how it feels for you guys separated.

I 100% second this. There are quite a few of you guys on here that have helped me more then you will ever know and I really do appreciate it. Being so new to this (not quite 2 months) I really admire you guys for sticking with it for as long as you have. You may not think you have patience but I'm truly impressed that you guys have as much as you do and it inspires me to keep on fighting.
