Adoption Update

I realized this morning that I haven't really given you an update on the adoption lately, and that's mostly because there is nothing to report. The agency we are using recently reorganized so we were assigned a new case manager. Our new cm has the same first name as the wife and they went to the same college, so you figure those would be good signs right, but to date, nothing else has really changed.

July though, does mark the one year "anniversary" for us, because it was July of last year when we started all the paperwork etc. We weren't officially good to go until late December though. So we've been on the list since January 1 basically, with nothing to show for it. We did have the hiccup in Akron, but it's been six frustrating months since then.

Somehow we managed not to get all down in the dumps with everything too, which is actually really amazing if you think about it. No job since January for the wife, no baby yet (with the nursery all done and just staring at us every time we walk by), house still won't sell, never mind the usual crap that everyone has to deal with. Not that we need it, but it sure would be nice if we got one piece of good news soon! With the three things in flux in our life, baby, job, house, is there anything major that isn't changing for us? All you employed, breeders with a solid roof over your head have it easy! But as they say though, we still have our health.

Maybe we'll hit the lottery, although I guess we'd have to play in order to win huh...

We do have a couple of good events coming up though. Family reunion is this weekend which should be fun (provided it doesn't rain as it's outside) and my brother's getting married in a couple of weeks, which will be a blast.
