Just a Quick Note

I know I haven't been very good lately about posting, that's partly because I've joined both myspace and facebook and partly because there really hasn't been much of interest to tell you about. Last week I had a bad cold and now Chris has it, so we've been taking turns taking care of each other - well as much as Chris will let me take care of him. I'm very proud of the fact that I never had to take a day off from work because of my cold. I almost lost my voice, but managed to head that off. For those of you who don't know, Chris is starting a new job next month. He's still not sure whether or not he's excited about it, but it'll be a big step up for him. He'll get a security clearance and they'll pay for him to get his Master's. Plus he'll be working on middle east issues, instead of Latin America. My job continues to go well, and I'm still loving it - Chris cringes when anyone asks me if I like my job because he's getting tired of hearing how much I like it. I do have to mention a funny day I had last week (while I wasn't feeling well) - I ran over a guy's foot and locked myself into two cars. You can ask me for the details if you want. We're really close to having our adoption paperwork done. It's taken longer than I'd originally hoped, but with working almost full time and the holidays I decided it was better to take things slow than to try and kill myself. I know we'll get the baby that is meant for our family when he/she is meant to come. So that's what is going on with us, hopefully soon we'll have something fun to take pictures of!

Our Christmas

We had a very nice, low key Christmas. We opened presents at home and then went to my parents house for the afternoon. That got cut a little shorter than usual because the two dogs don't get along and we can only keep them locked up in seperate rooms for so long. Plus I wanted to get back home to play Sims on the Wii! The Wii was our Christmas present to ourselves, we weren't planning on getting one until after the holidays, but I happened to be at Best Buy at the right time.

Saturday we went to my aunt's house to exchange presents with my mom's side of the family. That was fun, with way too much food. And we're always excited to take a picture of all the girl cousins. This year we added our cousins' girlfriend to the picture and we had a new baby girl to add! There are two girls not in the picture and one on the way, we can't wait to have more!
