An Addition to the Purple Purse Family

Dear Readers! It's been an awfully, terribly, regrettably long time since I logged in and blogged. For that I apologize. Life in a new city was busy and between our regular trips back home to visit and the Lady's sister Stinky's wedding, I just found it difficult to get online.

The S.O.'s job came to end, as both he and the Lady expected, and we've all moved back to the big city. The Lady is back to work at the museum, where I understand she educates and entertains hoards of screaming children on a daily basis. This will be great practice for her adventure. Instead of being filled with the S.O.'s water bottle and smelly man sneakers, I am soon to be filled with diapers and pacifiers and something called a "wet wipe". The Lady and the S.O. will be bringing a baby into the world by the end of the year! As the Lady grows out of pants and is obliged to wear elastic-waisted jeans and ever-expanding tights, my fate as a would-be diaper bag becomes all the more apparent. I look forward to the challenge.

The Big Move

Tomorrow, the Lady and I will make the Big Move to live with the S.O. in the booming metropolis of Brandon. A job offer and a longing to be with her love were enough to send the Lady packing. So, I've sat patiently on the floor of her current bedroom, watching as she folded her clothes, taped up bundles of white hangers and wrapped breakables for the two and a half hour trek west.

By and large, the Lady is excited to be domestic with the S.O.; prepare meals, mingle laundry and share household responsibilities. Apparently, she also looks forward to hanging out together, being quiet and reading or playing games in the evening. I'm excited for a change of scenary. I have no dout I will be the most beautiful purse in the vicinity and can't wait to strut myself around as the Lady starts her new job.
