Happy New Year!

I can't believe it's 2008 already!! 2007 flew by! I can remember about a year ago, Andy and I were talking with our friend Mike. We were already for 2006 to be over. He told us that 2007 was going to be a great year for all of us. He was right! We officially decided we were going to start trying to conceive as well as start the process to move closer to our families. Andy applied to several police departments in Indiana and has started the hiring process with 2 departments. In August, we put our house on the market. We sold it in 2 months and was very happy with selling price. In November, we moved into an apartment which has been an adjustment for us and the dogs but that was the step we needed to take before we moved. The very last day of 2007, Andy received a call from one of the police departments he is testing with and they scheduled an interview for this Thurs. YEAHHHHHH!

On Monday, I had to get Mike's prediction for 2008 since the one for 2007 was a good one. He said 2008 is going to be even better for all of us. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! He is also trying to move back to the midwest to be closer to his family and his girlfriend(who happens to be my cousin).

I decided not to do resolutions this year but goals-eat more healthy, work on our budget/savings, exercise more, and to be a better wifey. I know our two goals as a couple is to move as well as have a baby. I will probably do 2-3 more IUI's and then we'll start the adoption process. I'm very excited about starting the process and have been doing lots of research and reading on it. I guess our first goal of moving will have to happen first.

Another goal that I have is to meet my birth sister, Charlotte. We have been e-mailing for about 4 years now but haven't ever met. It's something that I've always thought about and am at the point that I'm ready for this to happen. I look at her picture alot to see if I see any resemblance. I think we have the same cheek bones and smile but that's about it. I've seen pictures of my birth brother and we have the same nose. Up until a few years ago, I could never say that I looked like someone. I always would look at strangers to see if I saw some resemblance. Never did.

Ok, enough with my rambling for now. =) I wish everyone a Happy New Year!
