Vaca recap

The trip was a lot of fun for me. Hopefully hubby had as much fun.  So a quick recap, we stomped the grounds thourally at the Mount.   Looked into college building windows, became saddened by a few things we saw.  We didnt go into the dorms, due to getting weird looks by a few adults...yeah... Went into the actual building, saw that they turned the FAC building site into a parking lot :(  Also added a Walmart - wich seamed fairly out of place.  Checked out the farm stand. Hubby made comments about their being 8 gas stations in the matter of a mile.  We also went on two hikes. One through the reclaimed mines, and one through a farmlandish forestish area in ladysmith. Very nice trails-personally liked the reclaimed mine trail better, but we got some good pictures for xmas cards on the Sisters Farm Trail.  Hmm, we also went to Rice Lake.  I posted a picture of us on hwy 8 on our way to RL. I titled it on our way to RL, which ended up getting a few funny comments!   The reason I posted the pictures is that I am amazed at the lack of traffic their was on hwy 8.  Being used to this area it was odd to have such a long stretch of road with little to no traffic.  Ok so in RL we went through the mall-took all of a half hour, only took that long because we went to Bath & Body Works ;) We also went through some of the downtown shops and went to Norske Nook. This place has a funny kinda inside joke between me, hubbs and a friend of mine, involving a pie... yeah that is as far as I will go!!  Sunday we packed up early, drove out to Exeland and went to my second church. I got hugs by some old friends, reintroduced the hubby to people and chit chatted with some people.  We had come to church on family sunday...not intentional.  This family sunday they were having a chili donation lunch thing. We felt odd going to the chili lunch, so we skipped it. I feel bad in retro spec that we skipped the chili lunch, because we didn't get to chat with PT or others for more than a few minutes :/  Oh well, I am hoping to make it up there again next year. Maybe make a half week trip of it? Start out at the dells then up north.

On other news, our CW asked for yet more papers....He did say that he should be able to issue us our licence by next week. How does one take the "by next week" I have been asking myself and my hubby this exact question.... Hoping by next week means early next week?  Ok so that is it on the update front.

The Weekend

A quick recap of my weekend would be frantic cleaning on friday, frantic cooking on friday and frantic set up on saturday. Also I was quit busy during the day on saturday when people were coming over. I got to spend sporatic amounts of time with groups of people. Spent some indoor time with the people with munchkins (yeah the planned tent thing didn't work out... way to hot) spent time with church people, spent time with relatives and fam and friends.I had previously thought I'd make some grand announcement and thanking our references and saying a prayer around the time food was to come out, but um instead it was a "food is done, come and get it." But it was a good day, we had a few new couples come to our house that were friends/church people that haven't seen Casa De Stittleburg, so that was cool.

Today I spent the day reading, watching TV with hubby, eating left overs, and reading blogs, actually a lot of new blogs. That is kinda were my post is coming from tonight. I had a now semi rare flair up of emotions tonight. I am on the hunt for IF blogs or blogs of people pursueing fostering/adoption to follow. I found a couple, but it seams like at least a third of the IF/ttc blogs that I found the people are preggo. And I had a hard twinge on jealousy even though I don't know these people i was still pretty jealous of them.  I don't know why I felt that way..well ok I guess  kinda do, but I should have moved on. I have moved on. Ok, really I am moving on. I was jealous, shed a very few tears and moved on, to writing this post.  Tommorow I am going to support group, I will bite the big bullet of "I'm weird" "I'm Alone" "My situation is strange compared to most" and go to the support group.  I think...
