Our letter has arrived!

Finally after waiting for what seems like an eternity we received our letter from the DSS office saying we are approved!!!  So now I guess we sit and wait again for our child.  Everyone has been asking us how the process was going and it has been disappointing to say that nothing had changed yet.  Now finally we have good news again.  

As for the day to day business, Chad has been training for his first firefighter combat challenge for the year.  His first challenge is in Gainesville Florida.  So we will be heading to Gainesville in April.  I've been working on some quilt projects.  My small quilting group is helping me and my mom out by making quilts for my grandmothers nursing home.  Hopefully we will get them all done soon. 

Work, work, work

I am tired of working.  It seems like work keeps taking away from the things I really want to do.  So I decided to make a list of what I would rather do:

1.  Spend all day laying around with Chad

2.  See my friends more often.

3.  Quilt all day with my mom

4.  Be with my family

5.  See Elijah

get this.... I would rather do some spring cleaning on our house and even work in the yard then have to go to work.  

Still no word on the adoption.  I keep going to the mailbox for our official letter saying we are official!  As luck would have it we are still unofficial!  I guess the counselor knew what she was talking about when she said we wouldn't get the letter until the first of March.
