Why won't the photocopier work today?
Oh, I forgot - it's because I have tons of stuff to print! Of course!
Thank you, copier.
On the brighter side, it's been a great week. We're enjoying Daisie so much (she is getting enormous by the way) but the older she gets, the more energy she seems to have. Last night it was 1am before she would settle down to sleep. I had a talk with her about it and I'm sure that tonight will be better (but if not, it's for sure Brad's turn for doggie duty!)
I've been doing lots of running this week and am looking forward to another 5k race coming up in September. It's been fun for me having some running friends and it's been fun for Brad to not have to go running.
Also big news this week - the fair is in town! Brad and I went to the fair for one of our first dates, and I every time I go with him now I think about a few memories:
1 - While we were walking around I kept thinking he was going to hold my hand, and he would bump my hand with his...but never held it. I was so nervous and excited. Funny how much I remember that...
2 - He was very (very) excited about the tractor pulls. I was concerned that things were not going to work out with us after all.
3 - That man can really handle his greasy foods! If it's deep fried, he loves it!
4 - Once we were getting "more serious" (about two months in - yep, it happened quickly!) I remember sitting at another fair watching a horseshoe competition (riveting) talking about the future...and he casually says, "We could just get hitched" followed by silence. Wasn't sure what to say to that (I think I was still debating if I could spend my life with someone who loves tractor pulls...) Turned out the answer was yes - a month later when he really proposed, I said yes!
I am looking forward to going to the fair on Friday with Brad and his family. I hope my stomach is ready for some deep-fried yum yums!
The adoption stuff is kind of in limbo at the moment because we were away, and now our social worker is away. Once she gets back, we have one more meeting and then our homestudy will be complete! We have 10 hours of online training to do before the next meeting so we're hoping to get some of that done this weekend. I seem to alternate between excitement at learning all kinds of stuff about adoption and parenting, and frustration that it takes so much for us to start our family. I just keep telling myself that it will be worth it in the end...
I think that's it for now. Tonight I am off to an all girls pool party. Yey summer!
