Holy moly! Where do I begin... I told my wife about me before we got married, and she's been very accepting of me, but hasn't met "Kristi" yet, and has only seen pics. She's been great with shopping, makeup tips, and general advice.
To be honest though, in the 4 years we've been married, I really hadn't had much of an urge to dress as I had let myself get up to over 300 pounds. I'm now down into the 240's again since this past Nov when I was at my highest.
One thing I didn't anticipate was that along with my slimmer self came Kristi, knocking on the mental door and looking for a bit of sunlight. So I've been dressing off and on for the last few months, working on my makeup skills, and enjoying a bit of relaxing girly time once a month or so when I have a free night.
Then Joann had to go and make that post about their Tri-Ess chapter outing and before I knew it, it looks like I'm rushing Tri-Beta this weekend! I have an interview with two of their members and I'm even going to the Tropical Escape (http://www.tropicalescapefl.com) event this Sat night in Clearwater, FL! I told my wife about it and she was really positive about me going to it and having a good time there!:eek:
When I told her about my wanting to join the local Tri-Ess group, she naturally had a lot of questions (how often will I be dressing now, what are my plans in the future, etc...) but she has been great, we had a wonderful talk about our concerns and such, and when she heard that the theme for the next Tri-Ess meeting in June was Prom, she got really excited. That's just one of the million reasons why I love my wife so very much.:worship:
I've only been out a couple of times en-femme before, so the butterflies are definitely circling in my stomach, but I'm ready for a really fun Saturday! Are any other local girls going to be at the event?
Now I just need to find the right outfit, although my wife has a skirt I've been dying to borrow!:D
