I had the nicest thing happen to me yesterday on Thursday. Went to the post office to send my friend Helen her package for Christmas. However they are always changing the rules when I send her packages. Sometimes they don’t want you to put on the label then they want too. It’s like make up your mind! Anyway I didn’t put the label on and they wanted the label on. Also they wanted me to buy the tape. Ridiculous! This woman behind me paid for the tape. I couldn’t believe it! I thanked her so many times, that was so nice!

I want to write about adoption again. Some of my family are really happy for us, so are friends. However what I didn’t count on is the other half. It’s strange to have some family not either want to talk about it or object going the adoption way. It’s not discouraging however, if they want to be that way then so be it. I look at it as this is our life and this is what we want to do. No one is going to talk us out of it. In fact we decided to go with
Lutheran Counseling & Family Services. We had a great chat with Kate on Thursday and just talking to her, she help us make the decision to go with them. We start the process in January. We are very excited. She said for some reason they have been having lots of boys come through. However I told Jeff, I think we will have a daughter. Funny that is what April said too! It’s very exciting!

I am having the what the hell moment here. So Adam is back in town and he never contacted me. I had to be the one to contact him. I find that to be strange because he usually does. He talked a lot about coming over and hanging with us but so far nope. So what the hell?!

On Tuesday April came over and we made a ton of Christmas cookies. Tex wouldn’t stop licking my fingers and got powder sugar all over his face. Silly dog!

Then April wanted to make a egg nog bundt cake. So we did.

Well the adopting thing changed. We were going to go with Adoption Choice Inc. But then we thought they were the only first one we talk too. Also there has to be a cheaper way to adopt $20,000 is steep price. So we been shopping around, doesn’t that sound funny. Anyway after looking at a ton of agencies Jeff found Lutheran Counseling & Family Services. This agency is the furthest away from us as they are in Milwaukee. However their cost is almost six thousand dollars less, as they are non profit. However this one is a religious affiliate however we don’t have to be Lutheran so that is good. We do have raise the child learning and understanding God. Yes we can do that! As Jeff and I believe in God. I would love to teach our child about God.

On Thursday next week we will be doing a phone conversation or meeting I suppose with someone there. I am interested what they have to say and answer our questions.

Next week is going to be crazy week. Monday normal, Tuesday through Wednesday April, Thursday talk to lady about adoption and then go out to lunch, Friday possibly have dinner with some of Jeff’s co-workers, Saturday game night at Chrissy’s house because Adam will be here and then Sunday relax! Then it will be Christmas.
