This and That

I'm having such a great visit with my mom!  We've been enjoying our time together.  After Barry picked her up at the airport on Friday, he brought her to my school so she could meet my class.  They loved meeting her.  Then we rushed home, put some stuff in the oven for our small group karaoke night and rushed out the door to an adoption party.  My friends that have fostered just adopted their 4th and they say final foster child.  It was a great celebration! 

Then we were off to our small group karaoke night.  What fun!!  I'm not a good singer! As a matter of fact I'm pretty bad terrible, but it's so much fun!  My husband loves it and becomes quite the microphone hog.  We had a great turn out and had a great time.  Have I mentioned how much I LOVE our small group.  They are just wonderful.  Saturday was our wonderful road trip and Sunday was church.  We grilled out steaks later in the evening.  It was just beautiful here in Texas!  I am sooooo ready for Spring, although my allergies don't feel the same way. 

Today was spent running some errands and seeing a movie.  Tomorrow we plan to go to an antique store and consignment shop that I love.  My friend Amy visited the consignment shop on Saturday after I had told her how great it is and she told me they have a great farmhouse table with benches.  I want it!!  Ok...I may not want this one, but I do want a farmhouse table.  I need a dining room table desperately!!  Ours is just too small.  Maybe it will be at a super good price!!   Keep your fingers crossed for me. 

Now, on to the baby front...  We have been in contact with some adoption agencies.  I think we are really leaning towards adoption.  We just don't have it in us to continue going down the infertility road.  It's been 2.5 years of trying and while I know some people try so much longer, I just don't think I can.  I also feel like time is not on my side.  We also feel very strongly led to adoption.  I know it's not for everyone and would never push my feelings on someone else.  For some, fertility treatments are the way to go and I applaud those of you that pursue that.  I guess I just don't want to lose my love for life and joyful spirit.  I feel that it was slipping away every single month I had a BFN.  Anyway...we have an informational meeting with one of the agencies next week so we'll find out all sorts of info.  If any of you have BTDT (been there done that), please let me know what sorts of questions I should ask.  I want to educate myself the best I can.  Any words of wisdom or information you could provide are most helpful! 

Thanks so much for your support and encouragement during the last couple of months.  I say it all the time, but this community is truly amazing and so encouraging!
