Well, we have not updated with any news because, well, there is no news. From our perspective, things are happening fast....so when I looked at the calendar today and realized it's mid-May, I almost fell over. So, that statement of no news...well, not entirely true. Rob found a job with Colgan Air and is working full time as a mechanic. He started off working days, then midnight shift, then days again, then midnight shift, then back to days. For now, he works at 6am. He drives about 45-60 minutes to work at Intercontinental (IAH for you aviation geeks).
I am still enjoying my job. There has been a change in my position, which is perfectly fine with me. I'm now the Manager of Training and Standards at the same company. They wanted someone with training experience and tedious attention to detail to take over the position, and I'm the one they picked! I'm honored - it says a lot about what they think of me an employee. It's a new job for me, so I have a lot to learn. I enjoy the change though, so it's exciting. :)
We have been house-shopping for the last 3 months. It's been both exciting and frustrating. I'll spare you all of the details, but in a nutshell, we had a lease at this rental house until the end of July. The house has been sold, and the realtor asked if we'd consider breaking the lease. We agreed that if we found a house, we wouldn't mind at all. After all, who wants to move in Houston in July!? Yuck. So, the search begins. We put an offer on 3 different houses. No deal. Then, one day while looking at some other possibilities, one of the sellers came back and gave a good counter-offer that we accepted!
So, now we are in the process of getting everything done for the closing. The house is beautiful and perfect for our new family. Now, for getting that family..... are we doing this backwards? haha.
As for the adoption, we have talked with the people at All God's Children about the programs that we are eligible for. Basically, it's down to either China or Bulgaria. We are not sure how we feel about either of these, so we are exploring more options here in Texas.
We had a phone consultation scheduled last Thursday, when Rob found a few fire ants to call his friends. They bit him and he had a severe allergic reaction. We landed at Urgent Care in time to get an epinephrine shot and after some excitement, all is well. He is fine. Our appointment is rescheduled for this Thursday. I'll fill you in when we find out more!
