Big Red & Little Me

It's a blustery day here in Idaho

and I'm cleaning the house like a mad woman

getting ready for our foster care home study later this week.

So many emotions whirling around in my little head

we've been preparing for this for just about a year

but I can't help but wonder

"are we really ready?"

what a giant leap to make

to go from just the two of us

to possibly 5!

WOW!

That's the way life is though...

and I'm sure we will manage this new adventure

with the same spirit and teamwork

as we always have

Speaking of adventures -

Our very own Big Red has been featured by

the Wandering Airstream

an amazing blog from a young couple

who have thrown out conventional ideas about settling down

in the pursuit of finding the perfect place to call home.

I can't imagine living full time on the road

but who knows maybe Tiffany and her man

are onto something?

I mean if you can survive months on end in a travel trailer

it seems to me like your marriage could survive just about anything!

Not to mention how many of us end up living somewhere

we really don't belong?

Be it family or the ol' ball in chain, aka your job

most of us never really got the opportunity

to find that place where we really belong.

I know all to well what that is like -

We ended up in Portland, Oregon

because of family and job opportunities

we purchased a home and thought we would be happy

but before long

we were just pretending...

and so when we got the chance

we made a decision

to try something new

and we are so much happier

but I can only imagine what we might have found

if we had taken a similar road as Tiffany and her husband

and tried to find our "perfect match".

Anywho - there's some food for thought :)
