Living out loud in the Carolinas

  • It’s been kinda quiet around here lately. The phone hasn’t been ringing as much as it usually does. And when I have talked to girlfriends it’s stiff and weird.  One of my more forthright gfriends said to me “People don’t know what to say to you” and I guess that’s true.  So instead of saying…

  • I figure I’ll start with the bad news then move on to fun cruise pics.  I don’t blog every thing.  Some things I keep to myself.  Some news I don’t share, especially in regards to our quest for a child, because if things don’t work out then I have that many more people asking questions…

  • October is my favorite month.  I share my love of October with Shannon who is going to become Senora Mustachio this month!  Woo! I love October because the weather is AWESOME here.  Blue skies, open windows at night, a bit of a nip in the air, and best of all, no more sweating.  Also, October…

  • Thank you so much for your kind words and support regarding our adoption. It means so much to me. At this point our options are: Stay with our agency and switch countries or Leave our agency (and the thousands of dollars we’ve given them) and start fresh. Our agency doesn’t do domestic.

  • My agency posted an update today on their website regarding adoptions in Guatemala.  It’s not good.  I don’t know what we’re going to do.  I haven’t told CSP yet.  He’s at work tonight and won’t be home til late.  I’ll tell him then.  It’s looking like if we want to adopt at all then we’ll…

  • I am so mad I could just scream over something I read on Mary Mia’s blog. Teleflora, a flower delivery service: www.Teleflora.com, is running a contest- America’s Favorite Mom. On the page that lists the semi-finalists for the contest they have broken down the moms into different categories: military mom, single mom, etc. But do…

  • Here’s the promised adoption update.  And I won’t even make you type in the password.

  • The Saturday before Christmas Jake and I went to the airport to welcome home Shannon, Mustachio & Emily from China! When I called Sara to ask if I could take the boys (Joey couldn’t go, he had to go to bed), Sara asked Jake “Do you want to go with Aunt Shanny to the airport?”…

  • Shannon is leaving to go pick up Emily in China! I’m so so so excited for her & Mustachio! And I can’t wait to meet Emily! Godspeed y’all! xoxo
