and to all a good night

so i have decided i must be the worst blogger ever. i hardly ever remember to write on this thing. maybe once we actually have a computer with internet in our HOUSE it will be different. I am on the job hunt. that is my first goal. find work. and then a house. we looked at a great house here in town that i would love. but jobs are our first priority. so i am looking for something fairly routine...monday to friday, no shift work. that stresses me out too much. and hopefully not a full 40 hour week because that is just a long long week. maybe i am too idealistic. but i have to have hope and i have to aim for what i think i can handle.

moving on, we have finished all our xmas shopping. this year i actually feel like i put more thought and effort into what i bought for people. it feels so good to actually give a real gift and not just an obligatory gift. i love christmas. it's been a great week so far. warren and i visited our new nephew, Nate, yesterday. he is such a cutie! i can't believe how much he looks like a neufeld. crazy. but after his dramatic entrance into the world it was good to actually see him in the flesh and withough moniters and needles all over him. he is our first nephew so it is pretty exciting. anyways....time for lunch.

I'll be home for christmas....for real this time!!

Merry Christmas everyone...warren and i are moving home!!! that is our crazy fly by the seat of our pants news...we have been thinking about this for a few months and we have now officially made the decision. so this means finding jobs, a place to live...dang it, we're starting all over again. there is just soo much going on in our life right now. we seriously need the support network that our friends and family (and church family) can provide. so though it kinda scares me...the unknown...i am just ecstatic to be going home. it's tough though because we really wanted to make it work here. we did. there have been just so many variables that have been part of this decision. our adoption plans are one of them. i don't even know why i feel the need to justify it. i know people will ask questions, and judge us, and gossip, but whatever...that is their problem. right now, i see a light at the end of the tunnel...and i am sure there will be more lights in the future, but for now this is just stop one.
