We're Alive... and the BIG news...

As usual we are caught up in our own lives over here.  I've been working lots of graveyard shifts over the last couple months and it has been zapping much of my energy.  But my last grave was Friday, YAY!!!!  Which means better money AND a better schedule!  In the last little bit I've felt overwhelmed with my perpetual to-do list around the house.  All the painting and repairs are practically done, we're now just to the organizing and finding a home for everything (which is an even bigger deal as we have no closets!)  but we're slowly getting there with a lot of creativity.

One of the biggest things on our plate right now is we've decided to do foster parenting.  We're taking classes right now and this means the second bedroom is no longer going to be our closet.  I plan to have the bunkbed put up sometime later this week.  It seems like a very sudden decision, and in some ways it was.  All of a sudden everything seemed to be pointing that direction and Chaynce was extremely hesitant but now he's more excited than anyone!  There's not too much we can prepare for (like clothes, bedding) without going unisex as we don't know what gender we're getting first and what age until right before placement.  We plan to accept 2 to 8 year olds at first and go from there, but I've really wanted to get some things for the kids so I made some beanies and bought a couple childrens' books.
