Weedend In Pictures



Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend.  Ours was busy as usual.  We had our last home visit with our social worker to complete our Home Study portion of the adoption.  In preparation for her arrival, I bought some fresh flowers to go on the coffee table.  I love ranuculus! 
On Saturday my new bathing suit that I talked about here, came in the mail!  I am so happy with it! Now I we just need some sun!
After the interview with our social worker we went out to celebrate with friends for happy hour. 
Lastly Nixon our bulldog and I had the opportunity to sleep in on Saturday. She needs her beauty sleep!

Flowers on a Stick


Hope you all had a lovely weekend.  I was getting over a cold so I wasn't very productive unless you call getting in a few naps productive?  I did find time to watch Sleepless In Seattle (for the very first time)!  Where have I been?!
While the hub's was at the grocery store getting cold medicine, he picked up some forsythia for me.  He handed them to me and said, " I know you like the sticks with  flowers on them so I picked them up for you."  Totally sweet but I'm pretty sure Barney Rubble said something similar to his wife in the Flintstones! Well I do like the flowers on a stick and decided to showcase them in our entry way above. 
The adoption process is well on it's way!  We are now working with our social worker having interviews every week.  Last week Matt & I met with her together.  This past weekend, I met with her alone and next is Matt's turn.  After we are done with all our interviews this coming Friday, we will be soon considered A Family in Waiting!  That means we are waiting on the documents of a little guy to call our own! 
A client of mine is a children's shoe designer at Nike and brought in Collin ( our future son) some pretty cool shoes that are one of a kind! This kid now has more shoes than me! We have been so blessed by so many people. It warms my heart to know Collin is already so loved!



Sorry for the grainy picture.  I took it in the back room at work. 

Lastly, as I was watching movies I did a little cyber shopping which always makes me feel better when I am sick.  I have been eyeing a bathing suit from JCrew for awhile and I saw it was on sale!  Well it's mine now!  I love how the stripes are in such flattering directions.

Thanks for letting me babble.  Have a great week everyone!

Be Well,

What's Up On the Home Front


I interrupt design posts with a bit of exciting news.  Matt & I are adopting!  We started the process a few months ago, but enjoyed keeping it to ourselves for a bit.  It was nice to have the time for it to sink in before we started sharing the news.  We are adopting a little boy from Ethiopia.  He will be between 2 and 9 months old.  We are traveling to Ethiopia not once, but twice this coming year!  It has been our prayer for the last 3 years to grow our family, but it wasn't in the cards for us.  God obviously had other plans because as soon as we decided to adopt, all the pain, hurt, and stress of trying for so many years disappeared!  Matt and I have never been more happy! 


We look forward to filling these boots with cute little feet! If you would like to stay informed on our journey, I added a link on the right hand colum.
