Update...

Well, one of the birth mothers decided to parent her baby. So that option is out. We do still have another lady looking at our portfolio but we are skeptical because she has been looking for 3 weeks now, which seems sort of lengthy.

I'm not going to lie, I was bummed when I got the news. But if the birth mom was having doubts then I am glad she decided to keep her baby. I just wish we could have the blessing of a child.

I got my shake on for a little "desert therapy"...

Mmmmm, the McDonald's Shamrock, my weakness. I just love it! I am not normally a huge fan of the Golden Arches but I will certainly make an exception for this!

It's Update Time

Alright ladies and gents (yes, there are a few gents), I am going to take a little break from the "Blog Journal" entry questions to update you.

♥Adoption- We finished our second and third training classes this week...so one more to go!! WOOHOO! Then we schedule our home visit. We have met some amazing couples through our adoption classes and I feel so thankful to have other men and women who can relate to what we are going through. We have all exchanged info and have agreed to support one another as a group during this journey.

We are in the process of writing our "dear birth mom" letter. Only we are going to address it "dear friend" because we truly want to form a friendship with the women who picks us, and we want her to be well taken care of. To us she is a person, not a means by which we get something we want.
Our portfolio is coming along nicely. I only have a couple more things to add and then we are done! I'll be sure to share with you the finished product. It's looking pretty spiffy!

♥Work-Remember the sign drama? Well, my boss made Amy do the sign this week. HAHAHAHA! I guess what goes around comes around, right? Is it cruel of me to get a little pleasure out of this? Maybe...but I feel it is slightly justified.

♥New followers- WELCOME! Thank you for jumping on board. I hope you enjoy the ride. I really appreciate you joining in so feel free to comment and let me know what you think!

Well, that is all for now! I will probably be visiting your lovely blogs throughout the day and leaving comments when I have the chance.

Friday Confessionals!

I came across a blog recently that does “Friday Confessionals” which I thought was really fun and cute. Well, I have quite a few dorky little quirks that are just dying to be confessed…so today I bring you my first “Friday Confessional.”

1) I love the Veggie Tales. Yes, those little cartoon vegetables that sing. No, I am not a parent so I probably have no business watching and listening to them. But I can’t help it. I actually had Jonah: A Veggie Tale Movie on while cleaning the house the other day. And I swear I cannot get those catchy little jingles they sing out of my head. My future child will HAVE to be a fan of Veggie Tales. He/she will not have a choice in the matter.

2) I am convinced my next door neighbor is stalking me and hubby. I have caught her watching us from her window one too many times. And she always lets little observations slip that I find a tad too noisy. It’s gotten to the point that I try my hardest to avoid the woman (I know, I’m terrible.) I even go to the extreme of putting my shopping bags in a huge rubber maid container to take them into the house. That way she can’t see what I’ve bought or where I’ve been. Does this make me a mean person? Maybe. But I don’t think I even care. (Yikes!)

3) Yesterday my sister “B” came to my workplace so I could help her find some jewelry. While she was there she got a text from my other sister “N”. The text said, “Some actress was stabbed…Reese something.” And B and I ran around telling everyone there that an actress was stabbed and we should turn on the news. We had the whole place in a riot. Then B texted N back and asked “Was it Reese Witherspoon???” and N texted back “No, it was with a knife.” Hahaha. It was a JOKE. B and I must have looked like the biggest ditzes around. I even told my BOSS. AHHHHH!

4) I have eaten the black forest ham sub from subway waaaay more times this week then I care to confess. (The actual number will remain secrete.) It is my go to meal when I don’t have time to do something homemade. And the scary thing is…I am not sick of it yet, in fact, I am craving one now, at 8 am!! I don’t think I will ever grow tired of the BFH sub. I could literally eat it every day for the rest of my life. I think. But I’m not going to try.

Gosh, sadly, I could go on and on. But I would not want to scare my readers away so I will stop at that. Besides, most of you are just getting to know me; I can’t let too much slip.

I’d love to see you gals confess some things…come on; I just embarrassed myself, now it’s your turn! Feel free to steal my Friday Confessionals banner. I love to share.

I hope you all have a FANTASTIC weekend! Happy Friday!
