and some living room pictures. *nearly* finished. :)

we'll be working on the bedroom next. I'll show pics as soon as we're done.

here are some pics of the *nearly* finished nursery!!

just another update.

Yahooo!!!!!
Just wanted to direct you all over to Stephanie and Chris, they have news!!

I can't figure out how to do a link.. seems blogger comes up differently on my mac. weird.

anywho..
We are just about finished with the nursery! It is precious! I am so excited to get some pictures uploaded as soon as I can, I have to borrow mom's camera though.

in foster/adopt news: we have our next class coming up after thanksgiving. We have at least 2 classes in December, that should bring us up to about 30 hours, which only leaves 10 hours left! That means we're almost done! I guess we'll be planning our homestudy for Febraury as long as everything goes as planned. :) We are very excited, as we've been talking about not putting off placements, as a placement would mean just enough "income" for me to cut way back at work and focus on school and the child/ren. Don't get the wrong idea, it's not exactly income... just money coming in from the state. Please pray that Baron and I can work on our spending habits so that we can do this sooner than later.

in school news: I am almost done with this semester!! YAHOO!! I am so ready to be done. I have definately taken on too much this semester and I am looking forward to a break. I will be cutting back a little on my credit hours for next semester, only taking 12, instead of 15. Looks like I'll be graduating in December of 08, instead of August. Oh well.... as long as I am done soon!

life: is going great, my husband is amazing! He is taking on so much at the house and work, trying to compensate for my lack of time to get any cleaning done at the house.
also, in december my god-kids are coming to stay with me for a week! yeah! the first kids who will get to stay in our house.. fun fun! We are also planning a great trip for Baron's dad and step-mom. should be fun and we are so looking forward to it..

I guess I ought to go, I am posting from my macbook in class. ;) *shhh!*

Hi all! sorry for the infrequent posting. We don't have internet at the house yet, and probably won't until january.

I have also had a nice case of pneumonia/bronchitis that has prevented me from doing much of anything for the past 10 days.. the doc said she was only calling it bronchitis because I didn't have a fever and since I never run fevers, she thought it was probably pneumonia. But she gave me a great (read: expensive) antibiotic and several other prescriptions (that I thankfully already had) and I am now starting to feel better nearly 10 days later. I just thought it was allergies until my right lung started hurting and I started feeling puny. Oh well, live and learn, right?

well, we got the living room painted and moved in.. just not arranged. it took me 6 months or more to get our apartment where I wanted it, so I expect it to take that long with the house. I like to rearrange the furniture until I feel it's perfect. (thank you IKEA for making light furniture!)

I will post pics of the house as soon as I can remember to borrow my parents camera. I am tired of dealing with ours because it's old and it doesn't take good pictures. I hope to have a new one of our own before any children come home.

well, I guess that's about it. I am at the apartment, and feel bad sitting here "wasting" time when I could be cleaning up or something.

more from me later.
