I'm ALIVE

I changed the blog back to "open" for all readers to see...The past couple of months we have been fixing up the house and homework. Very exciting. It seems that there is something exciting or dramatic happening with all our friends or family members...as for us, we are keeping it cool. Just school for me. And work for Jacob. And play time for the kidlets. Past few months have been so fun and so relaxing to me. I haven't been social as usual (because of homework) and it doesn't bother me! Our lives are so uncomplicated right now...all I do is take care of my family and work on school. And that's all I worry about. It is WONDERFUL! I've stopped worrying about other people (sounds bad, but it's nice =) ) and I'm just doing what I want to do. Hmmm...what else can I update you fellow readers on??

School is awesome. I am getting A's...duh.... =) hahaha. Actually, one B+ and A- so far. Jacob got an AMAZING award last week for Team Performance with the last NASA rocket launch. He also got a very nice bonus with the award....he is really good at what he does!! He is also in the process of applying for a civil servant position that they "opened" up for him...WAHOO!! Which means, better benefits (more days off), better access to the base, and better pay! And he has only worked there for a little over a year. His boss told him that he is on the same level as someone who has been there for 5-7 years. I'd say he is doing pretty darn good! I am so proud of him and can't believe how intelligent he is.

The adoption process is a no go right now...after much prayer and consideration, we decided to put that on hold. We noticed the risks that it would be on our little family now and we don't want to introduce anything harmful for our children. So we will just be having a third child on our own. In the future. FAR, FAR FUTURE. Just to make that clear. And if you are wondering WHY WAIT? since I did not wait much to have Charlie....well, that is WHY I am waiting....hahaha....it sucks having them so close together. THEY FIGHT LIKE NO OTHER. And I need to get back to my "college" weight and finish my degree. Then we will pop out another. I would LOVE to have one now, if there was some kind of guarantee that I wouldn't get sick during pregnancy, that I would live during labor and delivery and that I could bounce back quickly to finish school. But....the chances are pretty slim. So we are waiting.....

Alrighty, I think that is all the drama I can dish out for you right now. Until next time...

Oh and those pics of Emerald and Charlie are from the Intel museum in Silicon Valley. :)
