I Am Going To Be Married!

Okay so I am already married and actually in May will be our Four Year anniversary! Though my wedding set has been eaten by the couch so we ordered a new band and it should be here tomorrow so I will appear to married. I am quite happy about it too :p

Onward Towards Adoption

We had almost finished our adoption classes before we conceived Casey and now we are finished with those and we are meeting with an adoption worker today. Our paperwork is almost finished and we will be starting our home study process soon! Jon and I are really excited, looking at the heart gallery website we have a child in mind we would like to pursue Sophie not sure if we will get her or not but she sounds a lot like June and is born in the same month only a year older! We are also interested in sibling groups. Right now where we are only going to look at girls because we only have one room and June will have to share it. When we move it will hopefully be to a three bedroom and we are more than willing to get some boys!

Wish us luck that this is a fast process!

New Years Body Challenge

I am taking part in a NYBC on another great website I am on. It is from
1/12/09-3/2/09. I will be posting pictures and measurements on that site and at the end I may or may not post the number but will post the beginning and ending photo for sure! I am excited to start. I was planning on Weight Watchers since last time I joined I had lost 20lbs. So this is a great reason to join! Woot, wish me luck!

New Year New Purge

So yesterday Jon and I spent all day cleaning and organizing things. We donated six garbage bags of clothes, two bags of of toys and three boxes of books to the Goodwill. We also gave three bags of baby clothes to Jillian our friend who is due in April with a girl so she is getting ALL of Junes clothes so we are nicely cleaning out her clothes too. I never realized how many clothes that child had. Sheesh I have found outfits she has never worn and that had never been taken off the hanger. I am so happy to have the house organized it is great!

I Got a Job......

Not in a traditional sense but I start daycare for 5 and 10 year old boys on Monday. I am quite excited it will be fun. I am excited that I get to do something in the home to help pay off medical bills as we got the first set of medical bills. Just for my hospital stay we owe 1480$ this is not the surgery cost, Casey's stay, anesthesia or anything extra. I am glad I can help pay bill with out breaking into our regular spending habits of Jon's checks.

I also can't wait for the 13th and 20th of January because I will be getting my braces put on and I will be on my way to straight teeth!
