Nothing new on the adoption front...we're still waiting for our baby :) I'm a little over 7 months Paper Pregnant, and we were told that the average wait is around 9 months and 3 weeks, so I'm not worried about it.

I probably forgot to tell you, Jeremy and I started Weight Watchers again - today is our third weigh in, and I'm looking forward to seeing the result. We were completely off all week - Jeremy was in Detroit from Tuesday morning through Thursday night, we went to a wedding on Saturday and a family get together on Sunday. It all made for a fattie weekend, but we tried valiantly. It's a new week, so we'll get back on track.

Last night, I had the coolest experience. A girl on one of the message boards I frequent was coming to Chicago from Texas and wanted brides (former or current) to pose for edgy photos in their wedding gowns! Mine still fits, so I jumped on the chance. It was so much fun; we met in the Polish National Cemetery and took some beautiful photos. Jeremy came with me and we brought Lucy, and I got some cool pictures with her. One of the best parts is that not only are the pictures free, but I'll get a CD with all of the photos and I'll be able to make prints if I want!

We had our living room furniture picked up to be reupholstered...the living room looks awfully bare. We put my office chair up there so Lucy has something to sit on, but it's still very empty. I'm looking forward to getting the furniture back - I think it's going to be gorgeous! The green couch and chair are going to be a mocha stripe and the odd chair is going to be the same color but a diamond print. If I can find the fabric samples, I'll post pics.

It's been awhile since I've written...sorry about that! We're getting our house ready for a homestudy update - yesterday, Jeremy pulled out a bush in the front and finished the retaining wall next to our front steps. As always, he did a great job :) While he worked hard, I planted iris bulbs, kept him company, got him tools when needed and then took Lucy to the groomer (she was pretty stinky!) All in all, it was a productive day!

It's been beautiful around here lately...although today is a little chilly! My buddy Michelle and I have done some awesome dog transports, and I went with her last week to experience a home visit for a guy wanting to adopt an English Bulldog. I am hoping to get more into Pomeranian rescue, so I want to learn about that kinda stuff. It was weird to be on the other side of a home visit...OH the power! LOL

We have some fun things coming up - my work friend Jen's wedding on the 19th, a combo birthday party on the 20th and hopefully soon, a trip to North Carolina to visit the parents! I am really excited about getting away...this working thing really takes it out of you :)
