True Love Goes All The Way (In the Other's Shoes)

Ouch, did my feet hurt! I was not going to walk one step further in them, but New Walk on socks on a day after a rainy night was not ideal either. So Jose was convinced that True Love exchanges shoes.

Tara, for some reason of her own, threw her own right shoe in as well, but it was too small to enter into the True Love exchange.


Getting them back off was a tough family job as well. Involved all of our best intentions and efforts. A bit like exchanging rings maybe?


The shoes will go to some charity shop.
Tara and I will go South to take our family life back up again in the first half of December. Sod the extra cash, and sod the car on her 18th birthday. We have enough to buy some extra toys, and for now, that will have to be enough.

There we go: decision made and delivered by Friday, as requested. I can't say that it would necessarily have been the same one Friday before, or one after, but this is it, now.
So there we go: off to our proper happily ever after, for now. It's a bit wobbly, but boy, is it funny, and not painful any more!

good luck to the happy family - I'm sure everything will work out fine and I'm sure a family life will be worth it in the end! (someone who will exchange his shoes for yours comes in handy, so it's a good thing to have him close by!)

Love
Uli

I'm happy for the two of you and even happier for Tara! And if staying at home becomes boring or tiring or whatever, I'm sure that you'll come up with something. Something like your own business e.g. the Emergency-Shoe-Exchange-Rescue. ;)

Congratulations, Dr. José!!!
A man who is willing to wear your high-heeled shoes out in public definitely deserves a title!

Love to the whole soon-to-be-reunited von-Roenn-Vidal-experience,
Barbara

Shoes are a good thing! Can't have enough of those. Especially when you need them to follow each other around the world... Hopefully Jose will get a job in Hannover in 2009, so that Alex and Tara can buy yet another pair (each!) to come along. After that I'll make sure you'll shop for clothes and run around barefoot.
