Friday Morning

This is what I saw in the parking lot at work as I drove in.

I am a bit obsessed with parking between two specific trees. I have been known to bug certain people that seem to also like to park there.

Apparently, in a passive aggressive and quite funny way this is how they chose to make it a point not to park in " my " spot on Friday.

I was a little sleepy still when they laid this on me so my reaction was a bit like, you must have too much time on your hands, but a few minutes later I was more like " This is more like it."

Even the GM came over and wanted to let me know that he was going to be more aware about where he parked, such as not between the "two trees"

So I guess I get what I ask for. Except it will rain and the chalk will wash off. Until then, guess I get my spot back.

lil' bit of this lil' bit o that

We had to go to the DMV after work today. I just realized where crazy people hang out. Seriously, weird people there. This one lady had this blonde weave thing in the front of her head that seriously looked like a dead animal died on the top of her head. We also saw several mullets and kids who were no way 16 yrs old. It is bad when 16 yrs old looks so young. Must be getting old! We also saw many pairs of underwear hanging out of the back of peoples pants. What a strange place.

Anyways, the weather has been not bad. The trees are so beautiful. The trees near my work literally look like it was painted, all different reds, yellow, oranges and greens. Awesome. I wish I had a hammock. I could have sat there all day in the sun looking at them.

John has a headache so I feel bad for him. I know he doesn't feel good when he puts pajama pants and slippers on and a hooded sweatshirt. He then sits in front of the fireplace and is still cold. Poor guy!

As you can see, nothing is going on. I can not remember if we posted about our homestudy or not. She really liked our place. She was a little bit misinformed about the amount of waiting time we have left, but oh well. At least it went good. Next step is to go get refingerprinted in Buffalo. We need to do that by the end of the year. We will also be interviewing a pediatrician in a few weeks. I guess it does not hurt to have someone signed up to work with us. Of course it does cost $150 and insurance does not cover it.

Anyways, that is it. Sleepy now. Must be how hot it is in here. I will not complain to John though. He usually has it sooooo cold.

Congratulations to us...

Today marks 14 months waiting in line for Lucy. We took a number all these months ago. We have not given up. Our name and number will be called someday. It has to right???

Next month marks 10 years together married. Really happy and really hard things we have been through together over these years. He kissed me 13 years ago. Wow, does that make me feel old. I feel good about us though. So many couples we know are no longer together any more. It is fun to be together with your best friend all these years. He is still such a cutie and smells good too. Ok, ok, I know I am grossing some of you out, but hey! it's my blog and it is all rated G. :)

Getting ready for home study tomorrow. Busy Busy! We will post an update as to how it goes. She never wrote me back when I wrote her so I am sure we will be missing some things. uh-oh sounds like I am getting negative again. Better go so I can leave on a some what positive note.

Hello Everyone!

Well, it has been such a long time since we blogged anything. We have been so busy with our move. We are actually getting down to the last few boxes. I hate boxes!!! At least for now. This house is starting to feel more like home. John has been painting and moving things and building things. He is such a handy husband. He gets things done. We are learning all about closing a pool. We thought we would be able to close it tonight but it turns out we need a few more things.

We have been sharing our apples and pears that are on the tree in the back yard. I cannot believe how much fruit comes from one tree. I should remember because we had apple trees in our yard when I was growing up. I just remember having apple fights and some morning waking up to random cows/bulls in our yard. weird!

In a couple of days, we are having a follow up home study. She is coming to the house, so of course I want everything just right. Thankfully I have the day off so I will be running around and getting it all ready for her visit. We then have to get some new paperwork together and go to Buffalo AGAIN, to be re-fingerprinted and submit our I600A. The wait has been so long to go get our daughter that we have to redo it. I am very glad that we get a one time renewal with no charge. If we have to do this next year it will cost us another $800 or so. yikes.

We are thinking about Lucy a lot lately. This house just needs a little girl to break it in.

Until then, check out this little girl. Our little Penelope is such a star!!! Love her.
