Surprise!!!

Welcome to the new and improved Real Life of a Redhead blog!

I decided a while ago that the old look was much too dark. It was the perfect design for the time in my life when I had it designed, but I wanted something fresh and updated!

So, I asked my dear friend Dana (who by the way, I met personally while I was in Seattle meeting Kirsten after both Ewan and Joshua died) to design something fresh for me.

What'cha think?!

I'll be honest and admit that, at first, I wasn't completely sold on it. I felt like it was a bit more "country" than I would typically go for, but after looking at it for a while, it began to grow on me. The real seller was the explanation and thought that Dana put into the design (she truly is an amazingly beautiful and thoughtful person!)

This is what she wrote to me in an email after she sent me the initial sneak peek: (I had originally chosen just the girl in the middle leaning on the fence, but she added the other 2 pictures)

"The rocking chair in nature is signifying and acknowledging the past, with the open door signifying the future. Having the nature in the background of both just made me feel that nothing is forgotten and everything is always growing, evolving."

See?

She's amazing isn't she?

She didn't just put stuff together because it looked good, she spent time actually thinking about the meaning of each element of the design. 

So...without further ado...Welcome to the new and improved "Real Life of a Redhead!"
