This is my blog... humor, love, marriage, loss, infertility, furry baby, fostering, adoption, books, writing, friends, family, faith, God, changes, mistakes, lessons, learning, shoes, babies, cooking....This is our Story....myself, Scott, Sebastian and anyone else clever enough to leave an imprint on our hearts while we live life out loud in the Windy City.

Life is a journey and I hope that you will join us as we wander down its winding and changing roadway. Blessings to you and thanks for reading!

Updated Update

Well, Sebastian and I have made it into our 2nd week and are enduring the hottest temperatures of our lives so far! I am still enamoured by Cowboy Love....nothing the weather here can destroy in my mind and thoughts! Missing Scott tremendously~if absence indeed makes the heart grow fonder, then I will burst upon his arrival!!! (Sebastian is missing his dadders very much, too.)

I have one box left to unpack, one load of laundry to do, countless emails and phone calls to return, blogs to read, blogs to write and post, interviews to attend, decisions to make, friends to meet, wine to drink, pet socials to make it to...In the City with Red's new location has not made her less busy!

Upcoming blogs to be posted--keep an eye out for these over the weekend when I have time to relax and write:

Goodbye, Windy City
Cowboy Love, Part 2
To Kill a Mockingbird
Dog-Walkin'
Ramblings, Recommendations, and Random Suggestions
Surprise Anderson Announcement (gonna keep you guessing on this one for a few...)

Many thoughts in mind, not enough time to write it all down until the week comes to and end, but promise you many laughs, much giggling, a few 'a-ha' moments, and maybe a tear or two.

Until again,
~Red

here are my guesses:
1) you are getting another pet (does that roach count? hahaha)
2) you are moving back to Chicago (home of reasonable temperatures and reasonable-sized bugs) and into my basement
3) you have found a great new church and have just finished shopping for new long skirts and thrown out all of your great make-up
4) you tried this new asian restaurant and now have a crush on the male, asian waiter
5) scottie suprised you with a performance of the new skill he has learned while you guys are apart - texas line dancing

remember - everything is bigger in texas with only one exception - swimsuits (YUCK)

Only you--you know me too well!

No surprise pregnancy guess? I am shocked!

1)no new pets--and now have invisible barrier (placed by exterminator) in and around apartment to prevent further uninvited guests

2)hmmm...hindsight is always 20/20. Never say never....hey, wait a minute...if the basement is an option (with Sebastian, being that you now love dogs), I am IN!

3)Absolutely no comment ;) haha

4)I am going to end up with an Asian baby, I just know it. (Uh, from adoption, not from extramarital Asian affair!)

5)Scottie does have good moves--I can picture him in boots!

Eeek--all of the girls here wear thong bikinis! And they are OLDER than I am...does this mean I am supposed to get one too? Now, that would be something to write about...

I LOVED your comments! Thank you!

Christine, it was great to see you and Scott in Texas. It's fun to have you so "near". Feel free to visit us in NOLA anytime. Although you may want to wait until the end of hurricane season ;)
