Starting Out

Recently I've been noticing how many people have these cute little blogs where they keep people posted on their family and the funny going-ons (goings-on??) that happen in their lives. I've tried to keep a fitness blog, but I found that when I DIDN'T work out or eat healthy, then instead of feeling accountable to my 'readers' (who, after all, probably only amounted to 2 or 3 people!) I just hid and never posted, coward that I am.

I think this will be easier AND more fun because it's a no-strings-attached way of posting and having some fun. Also, I am HORRIBLE at keeping in touch with people, so maybe this is my lil way of keeping people informed. If you want to be, that is! ;)

So what's new with Matt and I? Not a whole lot, and yet a lot at the same time! I'm still in school and he's still working on the business, and we're still waiting for "The Call" which will make us parents. This status hasn't changed much in the last year or two, or even three, but it FEELS like it has, because we've changed so much personally over the last little while. I think we've really grown closer together through our struggles, and that's a comforting thought.

It also feels like a lot has changed because it feels like a lot is ABOUT to change. Then when people ask me 'what's new?' I feel like I should have something to say but I don't. I will soon though! We've been waiting to adopt for 14 months now, and 'they' estimated that you're only on the list for around a year, so we're overdue. It's very strange though. We got a dresser today and we put it in our future baby's room. It's so hard to picture using it though. I've never been in shock before, but if I could picture it any way, I'd picture it as being close to the way I feel when I say, "Hey, 2 months from now, and you'll probably be a mom..." WEIRD!

At least I have school to keep me preoccupied. I've really thrown myself into this semester, more than I ever have before, and I can't put my finger on why. Maybe to keep myself distracted? I think really I just want to do really well so that if I'm faced with the chance to drop down my courseload I'll think twice about it, after putting so much time into what I'm doing. It really WOULD be hard to drop any courses now, and that thought puts a smile on my lazy face. Well, maybe I'm not lazy, just an under-achiever. Okay, so under-achiever is another word for lazy. I'm lazy!

Anyway, I should wrap this up...I have a presentation in 20 minutes, and it's my last one of the semester! Woo hoo! I'll post a picture of the tacky "new" dresser later on when I get home from school.
