The latest ...

... is that I'm employed!

Last week I finally decided to get serious about finding work. I was thinking, and DH and I were budgeting for me to get a $10/hour job at the local mall. On a lark, I posted my resume to a major website, and 12 hours later, got a call and 3 days later, I'm employed!

So I'm a Project Analyst for a bank, and making much more than we had accounted for. We should be debt free (and we have alot of it) in a few months, and well on our way to saving up for our house! This is incredible news!!! We're so excited!

We're even well on our way to working on having our homestudy re-done, or updated, or whatever needs to be done in our new state. One agency I called said they charge $1100 just for an update.

The agency I was adopted through, $750. Sign me up!!!!!

And now ...

... back to our regularly scheduled topic! ADOPTION!

Things have been really quiet around here regarding the adoption. We're taking our time getting settled and trying to tie up several loose ends back in Texas.

The sad thing about the move is that it is delaying the adoption. And not by a little. We're having to re-do our homestudy (they're calling it an update), and 99% of our paperwork.

The good news is that I've found a job! I've only been out of work a few weeks, and I'm back in the saddle. Very cool. What this means is that once we sell the house in Texas, we'll be able to recover financially much faster than originally anticipated, and we'll be able to get into the house and bring the kids home much faster!
