Updates
Our life has been very unexciting lately. James has been working a lot (his choice, he just loves to work now) so we don't get to spend as much time together as we used to. He also goes out of town at least twice a month now. I miss him when he's gone, but I love the "me time". I usually rent a chic flick, dip me a bowl of ice cream and relax in my pjs. Occasionally, my good friend will come over and keep me company. I am so lucky to have her as a friend!
The movie season has started so we spend most of the weekend at the movies. We have already seen some really great movies and we are excited for many more.
We have decided to stop being chickens and buy a house. The prices have finally gone down enough for us to feel comfortable with the big purchase. Our original plan when we moved to Clovis was not to rent at all but to buy. That was about when the prices started to drop. We are so glad we didn't buy then! We found a home that James is in love with. It's everything he wants. We hope to put in an offer in the next couple of days. Thanks Krista for all your help!!
We have started the adoption process :) After realizing that this was our 5th Mother's Day without a child we decided to do as much as we can to have a child. You can read more about this on our infertility blog. If you haven't gotten an invite for it yet, leave me a comment with your email address. I am thinking about making this blog public so that my family won't be nervous about getting an account to read it, but I am not sure because then I won't feel as comfortable posting the informtaion. We'll see.
I am trying to find some work to do at home. I am only working 9 hours a week. The guy I am supposed to replace isn't able to quit completly yet. We are getting frustrated because the whole reason I got this job was so we would be able to buy a house and pay $700-800+ more a month and not have to change our lifestyle too much. So, if anyone knows any part time at home jobs please let me know about them.
Does anyone know any good websites to post pictures? I am trying to find a website that I can display my photography pictures in different categories.

By the way, our water heater is still hanging in there. We will never forget how nice it was that you and James came over to help us that December night!
I'm excited about the potential of purchasing the house. I sent you a very detailed email of all the business that has gone on today with negotiations. It looks like it will be an exciting ride! I LOVE the property! Thank you for letting me help you. If you thought life was a little quit before, don't worry things are picking up, my friend! Pretty soon you'll wish the slower days back. But after that you and James will have a wonderful home to show for it.=) Love ya!

I would love to read your blog as well, if you feel comfortable. I have been looking for another blog like mine. I think it would be nice to read someone else's story. My email is
