Nothing new...

I don't really have anything new to share, but thought I would blog anyways. I think we've found an agency but I haven't got the ball rolling yet because...well, just because I'm being lazy and don't feel like it. Hmph. I think later this week I'll get the paperwork in order and returned so we can get back on the waiting list...

There is another agency we're waiting to hear back on though...maybe that's why I subconsciously dragging my feet...?? We requested a reduction in their fee's since we've already paid for everything once and our home study is already written and complete. All we would need them to do is update it with their information. Not sure how long it will take to receive a response...hopefully sooner than later.

We still know nothing about our Florida kids either...they're saying now it could be summer before we know the results of the family members home study. It's too emotionally draining to keep thinking about it. So I try my best not to. The waiting will drive you insane if you let it. Yesterday T went out sledding and was out no more than ten minutes and came back in. He said "its no fun when you have to sled alone...why is getting a brother or sister taking so long?" Ugh. Kills me. I wish I had the answer kid.

We're still slowly getting things put away in the house...little by little. We had our first overnight guests this past weekend. Steve's daughter and her little guy, and Steve's son and his girlfriend. It was great :) Played a few games of pool, had a few drinks and laughed our butts off playing 'Things'...LOVE that game.

Have a great week everyone!

We received some pretty crappy news last week that our adoption agency is closing. I'm super bummed. Not only for the fact that we are now going to have to transfer all of our stuff somewhere else and pay for everything all over again, but also because the agency was in the building I work in and I won't be able to chat with all my favorite girls everyday :( They just weren't getting enough new families and just didn't have the resources to find matches for the ones they did have. We're going to find another agency and press on though..when God closes a door, he opens a window somewhere, right?


Other than that, things are great for us. We have moved into our new house and are enjoying every second of it! I can't wait to get home from work at night and hate to leave in the morning!! We are fairly settled in. Our garage is still full of boxes that need to be sorted through, but we have most of our necessities put away. This weekend we plan to try to go through most of it and get some shelving up in Tysons closet so he can unpack and put away all of his toys. We bought a new headboard and footboard that I'm hoping to get put together this weekend too.

Hope everyones having a great week!
