Because I have been so absent but still wanna get to know you guys, I am briefly reviving the Tuesday 10 we use to do a few months ago. So, for new folks, just ten random things about your life today as it is, and please everyone, give a brief update as to where you are in the adoption community/journey (all members of triad welcome, please give updates!).
1. I can't even count the months it has been since I last posted. I think the days are still blurring together this year and I wonder if 2016 will seem any slower.
2. Love my new job, but still scared out of my mind because there is no one to tell me if I'm doing anything wrong.
3. Got to see my best friend this weekend (she is also our chosen guardian for the adoption process) and it was so great to catch up, have girl time, and get to talk at length about life and all that adulthood has surprised us with.
4. My office is so cold that a jacket, blanket, and hot tea aren't enough.
5. Yay for autumn though! Yay for apples and cider and cinnamon.
6. Wondering what I should make for dinner tonight. DH doesn't like kale, but I'm craving a kale, corn, and feta cheese tartlette. Hmm.
7. Saw the Martian this weekend - was great for folks interested! Gonna go see it again with DH, because he was a bum and decided to stay home when we went the first time. The AMC was all fixed up - recliner chairs AND the concession stand had tea. Home sweet home.
8. Is it too early to start shopping for Christmas?
9. We are doing paintball on Saturday with some college friends. Glad I'm still fit enough to run around in the cold, get muddy and covered with bruises, and don't care.
10. Wondering how long our wait is gonna be on our adoption now. Dossier went out yesterday, but there are so many new families I have no idea how long the wait is gonna be compared to when we started the process last July.
CHECK IN :: DH and I just sent out our dossier to South Africa after a 14 month paperwork nightmare. But we're square now and happy to finally be waiting. Our range is 0-2, special medical needs, and either gender.
