- I know that in March I told you that we were getting the house ready to sell. Well, we put the house up and had sold it in 2 weeks, closed 2 weeks later and became homeless 5 days later! We are staying at my parents until we find a new house. They have been so wonderful to take Mike, Jack and me in.
- I found out that house hunting is no fun. Where do some of these people come up with these prices! Right now we just hope we have a home to bring Emma home to!
- In July we took a family vacation. Everyone was able to go, except Courtney (sorry Court). It was such a relaxing trip and it was wonderful to spend time with the family.
- I mentioned Courtney didn't get to go on vacation. Well, she was picked to go to Gov. Scholars, which is an amazing opportunity. We are all so proud of her.
- Mike and I have been trying to get in shape. In the spring we watched the Biggest Lo*er and became motivated. This time we have done it the right way: walking, working out and eating better. Mike has hit his goal and I still have 7 pounds left to hit my goal. So far I am down 32 lbs. If we ever take some pictures I will post one of our progress.
- The adoption is still moving at snail pace but we are making progress! The last batch of referrals finished up January 2006! We are now down to 57 days! Close but still so far away.
- School has started back up so we are excited to go watch all the nieces and nephews do all their activities! It's going to be a busy fall!
- While we are staying at my parents we don't have high speed access so believe me I am still checking in on everyone and all the rumors. I will try to post more.
I hope everyone is doing well. I know this was a very quick update but I just thought I would let everyone know that we are still here and still waiting!!!

Told you I check this site daily to see if you post and you did !!! I am glad to see things are progressing slowly but surely towards Emma, at least there is a light at the end of this tunnel. Can't wait for the final months to pass and she is with you and Mike.
Love and prayers to all of you.

Hello to you 'ole secret Pal (and I'm not referencing any bit of age here!) - I, too, have kept you on my list of favorite blogs. I knew eventually you'd be back!
Good to hear from you ~ hope you are well and hope the house-hunting picks up soon. We're in the same boat (kinda) - our house just hasn't sold and we're probably in the process of losing the one we've had a contract in on. That's the way it goes - just wasn't meant to be, I guess!
