the last few weeks

These past few weeks have been CRAZY!!!! The end of the year is always a little nutty at school. Trying to get every thing cleaned, inventoried, and ready to go for next year requires some extra hours and a lot of hard work. Compiled onto that, we also were heading on vacation to visit Jimmy's family in Baltimore the day after school got out. Also, to add onto that I got sick and had to miss work, we were in the middle of our update for the adoption, and school testing was wide open. I got the paperwork sent off, recovered, finished up myh part of testing, and was staying late to inventory and clean my room. Well, I called the agency to schedule an appointment to get together and go over our stuff before we went out of town, only to find out it had to be at our house. And because it had to be before we went out of town so she would have enough time to write the report, it had to be in 6 days! Yes, we went from crazy to absolute insanity in about 5 minutes. Needless to say, I called the calvary and my mom came and helped us get the house ready. Jimmy and I cleaned all weekend with her help on Saturday. Thankfully we got everything finished, and the homevisit went well. We spent the past 10 days in Baltimore with Jimmy's family. It was great we haven't seen some of them since we got married in 2008. We spent one day in Richmond, a day in Lancaster, and a few days around Baltimore. We went to an Oriole's game, saw the inner harbor, toured some historic ships, ate some fantastic food, and toured Fort McHenry. The best thing though was catching up with the cousins and playing with their babies. I got some sweet baby kisses and had lots of fun. I also got to see three new states, which put my state count to about 18. My goal is to see all 50 states. Now we are home and fixing to fly through getting things ready for a garage sale to help raise adoption funds. We will be having it really soon, so I'm going to have to fly and get ready. It seems like for now I'm destined for a busy life. Wouldn't have it any other way!
