Hi, let me start by introducing myself. wow, I'm nervous.... :) I have never been good at speaking in front of groups, and the funny thing is, to me this is one and the same. I feel as if I am standing in front of each and every one of you, sweating and choking. You may be wondering what is up with the name "SunShoe" It is not my real birth given name. It came to me in a dream.--
I was living in a big house on a hill. Looking down the hill was a red barn attached to the house by a Zip Line -my favorite mode of transportation. I took the Zip Line down to the barn where there was a gnarly tree with a cubby hole hidden among the knots in the wood. I opened the cubby and grabbed a set of keys for my car. Since the barn was down hill from the house, I had to walk back up. On my trip back, I encountered a large group of Japanese men walking across my yard. I had intended on squeezing through their procession, but they stopped me. Come to find out this was the Yakuzaa (Japanese Mob). They kept calling me SunShoe and saying they were kidnapping me.--
Sadly I woke up and never discovered the fate of SunShoe. I would like to think she kicked butt and ran them over with her giant Hummer Alpha (I pictured the car belonging to those keys as a massive tank/spaceship of a car.)
Dakota has asked me to contribute what I am able to this blog, seeing as I just recently had my first baby in December. He is now 6 weeks old and I can share the perspective from the newborn stage. I better start soon for I fear I have already forgotten the beginning of my story. He is slowly becoming more and more alert. Every day he does something to make me fall deeper in love with him. He is quirky and gassy (the soundtrack of my life is now grunts and toots) and has the cutest voice I have ever heard (even if it is only crying at this stage). When he cries he actually says "Waaaahh!" I am not kidding you, there is a definite "W" on the beginning of "Waaaahh!" His lip pokes out and everything. He prefers to have his socks off when he nurses, and he is the master at flipping me the bird. Though I am pretty positive he doesn't get the meaning of this yet. I hope.
There is the introduction to me and my story. I will visit again soon.
SunShoe,
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that is the best 'name from a dream' story I've ever heard. I'm so glad to have you as part of the team!
Rock on,
Dakota
