dear julia
ahhh.... so much happening.
alright, for starters, tom got offered a promotion. along with that came a raise and an opportunity to relocate. we are definitely moving to new york. i have been out here with the girls all week looking for houses... and we found one! it is beautiful. it has 5 bedrooms which we will need... sooner than later! (yikes!) and all the little things we want, as well as the big things we need. we are so excited. it's not for sure, but we are putting in an offer today.
another major update... we started the adoption process a little while ago! we have put it on hold until we have a home, but we are a good ways into it. we are so excited about it! it will be a domestic infant adoption (which means it will be from america.) we can't wait!
lets see here... antoehr update. i am definitely in the beginning stages of starting a business. crazy, i know. but, i am really pumped about it, and the earning potential is incredible. plus, i can continue staying at home with the kids and just work on my own schedule.
i am really excited about all of these changes, but we are going to miss our church family out here and all of our friends. i will really miss having our friends over for dinner all the time, walking to eckerd 5 times a day for milk, diapers and really cheap makeup. i will so miss mexican computer night. mexican computer night is a weekly event where marcial and alfredo come to our house and we teach them how to use the computer. they speak no english, tom speaks no spanish (except the word "cheap-o" which he made up.) it is all very entertaining. plus, they insist on paying us - which we refuse to accept. so, they bring us "un regalo" which means they pay us in beer or milkshakes. no complaints here.
i will miss that. i will miss our amazing church and our great apartment. i'll miss the train and philly and linvilla orchard. but, i will not miss renting, the traffic, the distance that everybody is spread over and the prices out there! i absolutely could not be any more excited about our future. i have no idea if anybody even does lj anymore... but, writing this feels really good regardless. if anyone does read this... i hope that your day is as happy as mine. see ya, peace.
