This just in.......
O.k. O.k. o.k., so I have been slacking on the blog thing.
The assignments are all complete. Looks like my profs liked my work. Now this Friday I start exams. Wish me luck! I shouldn't need it as I am pretty confident I will do well. (Did I just jinx myself?)
It has been a pretty busy month. Joel went to visit his folks, then we went to visit S&J in Chatham. I was able to go see my sister Sue and have dinner with the family which was really nice. I am glad I went. It was a great trip. I think I needed that mental health break :-) Crafting was fun with M&J. The babies were great. The dogs were happy. I did get introduced to a new drink that S made me try. It was super delicious and went down really good. I foresee me drinking some more of them in the near future.
We got back from Chatham and it was back to reality. I came home to me panicking to finish off a couple major assignments and a presentation or two. All went well and I am pretty happy with the results.
This must be comedy month as I had a chance to go see (what's his name) Brent Butt. The guy from corner gas. B was nice enough to be in Australia so S needed a date. I think (I know) she had second thoughts after she asked me to go. Only because my first question to her was... who is Brent Butt. It turned out to be a great night. Brent came out after the show and did some autographs and got to talk to him. I told him my father was born in Ruleau and that when he watches the show he sometimes recognizes things. Brent made a funny come back by saying "ya he recognizes the tumbleweeds". So thank you to B&S for the ticket, I had a blast!
I am sure I have missed some stories, but it is getting late and I am going to hit the sack.

ADOPTION NEWS: well the news is that there is no news really. It was hoped that the CCAA was going to refer all of Sept 05, which is where they currently are right now, but they only did half a month again. (If you don't know what I am talking about just let me know and I will try to clarify) The talk about a speed up is just rumor right now. So it looks like we are still in it for the long haul. We will get there eventually. I just have to keep reminding myself that. The good news is that CCAA(china center for adoption affairs) is looking at April 06 dossiers right now for approval. So it should only be a couple months before we get official approval from the China Gov't, and then we wait (and wait) to get our referral.
Goodnight all.
