Where we stand right now.  PS – Have you “liked” us on Facebook? We’d love the support!

We finished our state wait profile. This is a single page profile.  We include a few pictures of us (2), and information about us. We talk about ourselves, our families and the specifics of children we are looking to adopt. That’s a lot of information to squeeze into one page. We are open to a sibling group up to 3 (yes, we’re crazy), ages 0-5.

We finished (and are waiting for it to be designed through the agency) our four page domestic profile. This is for the newborn program. It’s a quick way for the birth mother to look over and see if she’s interested in us. And if she is – then here comes the next part.

We finished our TWENTY page shutterfly book. That was tough. We took what we wrote for our 4 page profile and added pictures.  Pictures of us, our family, our friends, our house, our pets.  So many pictures.  They suggest 40-60. That’s hard folks.  I’m not one to be in pictures. Husband takes pictures all the time but not of us or of friends and family. So that was tough.

So now, we’ve done everything we can. Now we wait. And wait. Pray for us?

I kept hearing awesome things about Diet-To-Go so I decided to sign up to be an ambassador and check them out.  Who doesn’t want to have quick lunches to go? Sure, I could do what I’ve been doing and spend Sunday’s prepping my lunches, but sometimes life happens, we get busy and I just want [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a Workout Wednesday post.  I’ve been spending my free period that I would normally do the working doing laps with a coworker.  Exercise with a friend is always more enjoyable. But I decided I’ll start doing these immediately after work, before my Weigh In.  They should be easy [...]
