So tomorrow Nate starts his internship at Consumer Energy. I don't think blue jeans and skull t-shirts are appropriate clothing for the work place.
Nathan has never asked for money, so I was very open to helping him get a starter wardrobe that is presentable in the "big people" world. We went to Kohls to get Nate some pants and dress shirts. I remember when I got my first job at NBD when I was 18. Like Nate I did not have an appropriate wardrobe and my mom took me shopping to get started. After 30 years I remember that kind gesture, so it's nice that I am now in a position to do the same for him.
This outing was quite stressful for Nate. He had a hard time wrapping his head around dressing like his dad or Papa. After some time he was able to purchase 4 pants 6 shirts, t-shirts, dark socks, underwear, and a belt. So he has enough variety in his attire to wear a different pair of pants every day of the week! Pretty good for someone who wears Hillsdale College shorts and some sort of Hillsdale College t-shirt every day.
The best part of the shopping trip was when the cashier let me use my 30% off coupon 2 days early. Nate said the reason we got this was as a payback for enduring my second surgery.
Send Nate good thoughts tomorrow!

Had to buy underwear for his new job? Does this mean his current underwear were inappropriate for work or he didn't have any? ;·P
