I know, I know, I have been gone too long.

I know that I have not added a new post in the last few weeks.  Lets just say it has been a very busy couple of weeks.  All is going well for us, and no, it is not a new baby that is kept us so busy.  It is just life the last little while. 
Just a few highlights from the time we missed.

• Jasper and his puppy cousin Harley have gotten together a few times.  We tried introducing Roxy into the mix but that did not go well.  We will try again another time.
• I dyed my hair, dark this time.  I am now a dark brunette. I might have it lightened a bit.  Maybe just some highlights.
• I have started this awesome health challenge called the Power Foods Lifestyle Challenge.  It is all about eating healthy, exercising(something I really need to work on) and positive self body image.  It is an 8 week challenge and I am currently in week 3.  It has been great.  I am cooking and baking more than I every have and actually enjoying it a bit.  As for my workouts it is a work in progress.  When I'm working I take several opportunities throughout the day to do a couple flights of stairs and when I'm at home I have a few other things I do.  I even won a free 1 hour Skype consultation with the trainer who runs the challenge!  That will happen tomorrow.  I recommend this for everyone.  You should check it out @Body-Buddies.com.
• I have been working extra shifts every week to help cover while a co-worker is out from having both her knees replaced.  (This is a big part of my absence.  I've tried to blog in the down time at work and it doesn't let me.)
• We had our yearly adoption home-study with our wonderful case worker Aimee, and were able to renew our status for another year.  (can you believe its been a year of waiting already?  Its ok were patient, or at least trying to be)
• Work on the 'field of dreams' nursery continues,  we are just about to the point of just needing to put the furniture in and find out who the little person who will live in it will be.
• I finished reading a wonderful book called "When I Found You" by Catherine Ryan Hyde.
• I am actively working on the plans for Girls Camp in June.  I love girls camp!
• My amazingly talented brother helped me with my cub scouts by cutting out wood so that we can make tool-boxes tomorrow.  This should be fun, three 9-year-olds with hammers at my house.  I hope we all survive.

And that is just a bit of what has been happening in our currently crazy life.  Hopefully it will not be another couple of weeks before I get to write again.

Happy Monday, You Rock
