Summer Update

Well, we are 0 for 2 on the adoption front.  The second adoption attempt also fell through at the last minute.  It's not the happiest of situations, but we know that God's still got our best interests in mind.  We're glad to be off of the adoption roller coaster for the time.  It's been such an up and down journey that we are not pursuing another adoption right now.  We need a break from putting our lives on hold and from the emotional ups and downs.

Sarah is not teaching summer school this year - it's the first summer she's had "off" since she began in education.  She is enjoying the slower pace of life during the summer days.  There's more time to read, play, be with friends, and coupon.  Yes, she's jumped on the couponing bandwagon.  It's crazy, but we're already seeing some consistent savings in our grocery purchases.

We just got back from a trip to Disney.  We took a much-needed vacation to get away from the adoption drama and recharge our batteries from all of the emotional stress that we've been through the last few months.  We had a great time, and we are constantly reminded of how much fun we have - just the two of us!
