Today I was at Panera with my newly engaged friend Laura. We were flipping through the pages of her first bridal catalog (ah, the beginning stages of planning a wedding. . .) when the topic of tuxes came up. This topic was triggered by a picture of a black guy in a white tux. Both of us expressed our opinions of guys in white tuxes. We both think it should generally be avoided - except in some very rare cases. One such case being black men.
"Black guys in white tuxes works," she commented and then continued, "but Willie??" We both stopped, laughed rather obnoxiously becuase it was an obvious answer, looked at each other and simultaneously voiced in our best 'ghetto- girl tone' "Hell No!"
I looked up and feet from me, poised for a greeting was my former Pastor's wife, come to pick up her youngest daughter from work . . . at Panera.
Back in college, in 2004 when blogging was hardly even a thing yet, I was here. Blogging before blogging meant anything to anyone. You can look in the archives for my past writings, but it was much more like a journal in the past. When we started fundraising, I messed around with the idea of launching something new for this new phase of our journey but actually hated that idea. I am a sum of all of my life and so much of it is here already. So I'm keeping it here. At least for now.
My main focus these days is blogging about our newest journey into the bizarre and wonderful world of gestational surrogacy. Posts dated 2013 and forward will trend heavily toward that journey. I don't promise everything I write will be about though. There might be other things that sneak in occasionally.
Please come along our journey with us. As the saying goes, "The more, the merrier!"
