Holidays and Home Studies

Okay, I may have missed a prime opportunity by ignoring Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but let's be honest, none of you actually has all of your holiday shopping finished. Besides, those are like Hallmark holidays and you are all way too smart to be suckered into spending on something so artificial. So, consider this my gift to you: a reminder that people are expecting gifts from you and the malls and other stores are a ZOO, so you should click on our Amazon link on the right and shop from the comfort of home in your pajamas. Really, could life get any better? I didn't think so. Happy shopping.

Storm Watch 2011 ;)

In case you're keeping track of our progress, we had to reschedule one of our home study visits because of the massive winds last week. I was pretty sure that the Santa Ana winds were a suburban legend created by Steve Martin in Father of the Bride (if you're keeping score that was a pop culture reference, but it's over ten years old, so I'm not sure it counts). Turns out that these are crazier than any tornado that I've ever seen. Most of the city was totally fine: however, our tiny lil' part of the world lost electricity and was cluttered with fallen trees. The good news is that we were able to squeeze in the home study this weekend. So, we are 2/3 of the way through the process. We bumped our last meeting back until after New Years. So, all should be pretty quiet on the adoption front between now and then.

If you've managed to get this far, I'm not sure why you haven't clicked away to Amazon, but you should. Go. Click. Shop.

Love,
Jimmy and Celeste
