This year is coming to an end.

Happy to report that our friends Rachel and Julianna had their baby girl! Lousia is her name and she is cute as a button. She was born December 14th. Cheryl’s daughter Heather had a baby girl too. Her name is Kaitlin and she was born on December 17th.

It has been a good year. I have met new friends. Got a job with a good company socked some money away. Things are going well. Joe is finally at a job that appreciates him and rewards him for his work. He is also doing freelance writing for a company out of California. They love his work. Yahoo loves his work as well. They have put a few of his articles up on the front page of their site about 4 times in the last few months.

Careers are going well, we were able to put away some money this year. It feels so good to be out of brokeville.

Now new things will be on the horizon in the next couple years. Adoption is going to be at the top of the list. Going to try to adopt from the state. Have to go to some classes and get the ball rolling. That will happen after the cruise in February. We would really like to adopt a baby, but a toddler would be fine as well. Who knows… keeping out options open to whatever the universe has to hold for us.

It was our anniversary yesterday and we stayed in. The cruise is our anniversary and birthday presents to each other. It is going to be wonderful to have a vacation just for us.

Looking forward to the New Year and what is has in store for us.
