And such is life....

I have been a little MIA from the blog lately….I am just so busy. My mind is racing and the wheels are turning and unfortunately they are turning in 500 directions…so I haven’t made much progress. I guess the wheels are just spinning at the moment. Tae has been extra challenging lately and I think that has caused me to just be emotionally drained. The home study visit went REALLY WELL and I am literally jittery with excitement. A little part of me is terrified at how fast this is moving. Honestly it is moving so fast that we are planning the baby room and busting out the crib in the next few weeks. Not saying we will bring our baby home that soon, just that we are realizing that this is a smooth and efficient process and we better make those spinning wheels a bit more productive. I want to be prepared!

I am starting another blog that I will be using for all things baby…it is just temporary and I will not keep it up forever. It will contain my thoughts and letters to baby (I know boring for some of you) but it will also be a fundraising tool for our adoption. Nothing crazy. We are trying to make it as fun as possible and create a raffle process that will be appealing to a wide variety of people. I have been racking my brain to try and figure out the best fundraising tool and this is what I have come up with, low cost (for all involved) + lots of prizes = Amazing fundraiser. It isn’t ready yet, but I will link to it when it is. I don’t plan to link that blog to Chasing T because we plan to distribute the new one more freely and I don’t want every person I ever knew (or strangers at the coffee shop) to check me out here…I think that is understandable. If you have any ideas for me please let me know.

So many things to do and I really just want to sit down and be crafty…maybe tomorrow :)

  1. I'm so glad the 2nd visit went well and I'm so excited that things are moving along! Definitely will be looking forward to updates on the new blog and efforts and all. And I don't think I really count as a lurker (anymore anyway!) but if you are getting a little creeped out by the person who sits with your blog open for hours and hours at a time, that'd be me, cause I open blogs to comment on and then stink at taking the moment or two to actually comment. So if you noticed such a thing and wondered, I'm 'fessing up!
