Back to work...

Another long week, I am working Friday. Not complaining, love that I can make extra money! However, sad that Jim will be going to the lake house to spend time with my family and I will be at home...

I ran tonight, I had a three mile training run. I did not feel like I exerted myself or did anything productive. I am getting anxious for the marathon, and when that comes it will be October. I hate that I want to fast forward time (especially in the summer). I am just looking forward.

Attempting to finish The Ex-Debutante this evening, it is due back at the library in two days. Somehow I got the new Jen Lancaster book: Pretty In Plaid already! I also checked out a few books recommended by Adoptive Families magazine, excited for those.

Weekend!

This is my first 2 day weekend at home in over a month! That illustrates how often I am working extra! I spent today catching up on laundry and got a quote on a deep cleaning for the house. That seems a bit counter productive...work extra to pay someone to clean the house!

Last weekend was great, we had dinner with a local family who adopted from South Korea. It was our first time trying Korean food and we really enjoyed it. There are little side dishes that come with every meal...marinated vegetables Kim chi etc., they are called Banchan. Jim and I tend to like all Asian food...It is reassuring to know that another couple has gone through the wait and had a positive outcome. I think Jim meeting an adoptive child made it real, I saw his face light up when he met the child :)

We have a busy day tomorrow, a birthday party, a wedding reception and then meeting friends at the Blue Martini....I am constantly kept busy but the wait is still getting to me. There are days I do not give it much thought but others that I think time is standing still. I realize that it is important for us to continue to live our lives. I feel that I am doing this but I have never been the best with situations that are out of my control.

Back Home

Back from vacation, and back to work! However, KD Convention was wonderful! It was a nice time catching up with NLT members from across the country, especially my roommate! The convention was held at the Swan and Dolphin in Disney. After convention Jim joined me for three days at the parks. we had so much fun. We kept talking about bringing our child back and what age would be appropriate. We decided that Epcot was our favorite park and sampled food and drinks from the "countries" A few pictures are posted above.

I am back to work, which is good. I am picking back up on marathon training....15 weeks to go. I am working extra friday...savings for the adoption. I have Indy KD Alum meeting this Thursday in Broadripple, which should be fun. We have a Bethany eduction session this weekend and dinner plans.

Although we are busy, the wait continues to get more difficult. The Bethany blog said the current is 12 months, which sounds better, but I do not want to get my hopes up!
