The last few days have been very busy, but also quite productive and fun! It is a very busy time of year for me at work with a couple major presentations coming up. It has been harder than normal to maintain concentration with all of this going on. Of course, I'd rather spend my time researching and planning and getting ready! I also had my main monitor of my home PC die this afternoon. Fortunately, I have two, so while annoying, it is not catastrophic.
Tom got us some free tickets to the Angels game yesterday so we got to go enjoy that with my brother and his new wife. I wasn't very excited at first as I'm not much into sports, but figured the time with everyone would be good. The game itself was actually more entertaining than I had anticipated (especially once our section was in the shade)! Of course, the time spent with my brother and his wife was even better than expected. Overall, quite an amazing day!
Today has been pretty much about preparing for what we know is coming. Wake up, church (hallelujah!); lunch with the grandparents got canceled as grandma wasn't doing well (prayers for her!), but we got to see them anyway. The rest of this afternoon/evening was out in the yard. We cleaned up (fluff everywhere from the dogs tearing up the bed), fixed the sprinklers, cleaned off the patios, AND the side yard (which might I add, was an incredible disaster)!
Now the lawn is being prepared for new seed so we can have an actual lawn instead of dead grass and weeds! Woohoo!
In other news, we have started receiving packets from various agencies and how you know which to pick is beyond me. However, we have started signing up for orientation sessions. We are just hoping and praying the choice will become more clear as we continue progressing forward.
OH! I almost forgot! While at Lowe's to pick up sprinkler and lawn stuff, we stopped by the baby-proofing area and picked up drawer and knob locks, edge pads, and plug covers! I'm not sure why, but this got me so excited. Tom says I'm not allowed to install any of it yet, but we have it!! I tried to convince him we could get stuff to start decorating the room that will become the nursery, but I was shut down. Probably for the best, I'm lucky I have a sensible husband for these moments where I lose mine!
Another day, another couple steps toward having a child of our own...I can hardly wait!
