Jrock and I haven’t posted for a little while because we’ve been awfully busy. 

First news, we bought a house!  The inspection is tomorrow, but the other conditions have already been removed.  It’s a lovely storey-book tudor revival.  We’re going to have lots of fun fixing it up (ok, so I’ll have fun and J will have stomach pain!) but we don’t take possession until October 1st.  Any offers from friends and family to paint would be very welcome in October, ha ha.  We’re also putting in all new windows, new exterior doors, and the OK necessity: air conditioning.

Second news, I started a new job Monday.  It’s a part-time job  helping out a realtor in town.  I certainly like the people I’m working with, but the job isn’t that challenging.  I had another job interview today, though, doing what I used to do… so wish me luck.  It’ll certainly help with the house payments when they start happening.

Otherwise, life is ticking along.  We finished our last visit with our social worker on Monday, so we expect a copy of the homestudy report tomorrow. Then off it will go to Kidslink where the rest of our file is waiting.  Then the whole deal will be shipped off to Ethiopia, and we WAIT.  And wait.  6-8 months from now, hopefully we’ll have news!

Monday was also our 2nd wedding anniversary.  It wasn’t too eventful, since we had the last SW interview.  But we went out for dinner at a pub and there was a nice message waiting on the answering machine from my Gramma when we got home.  “Congratulations!” she said. “2 down… only 58 to go!”

Let’s hope so Gramma!
