Weekend Update

I have been away for a few days so here is what I have been up to.

Saturday: I went to work in the morning and then we were off to Mom and Dad's house. We went to an AWESOME dinner with them in Almond, WI and spent the night. We brought the pugs so they could play with Otto my parents lab. All three dogs are completely exhausted but they had fun I am sure.

Sunday: After lunch with my parents were were headed for home and then after feeding the dogs at home we all piled back in the car and headed to Lake WI for some fun in the sun with my in laws at their cottage on the lake. Well, first problem was the dogs were crazy tired and the second problem was there wasn't much sun on Sunday. We did go out on the boat and over to my DH's aunt and uncle's cottage and spent some time with them and some cousins so that was nice. We opted not to bring the dogs on the boat since they were so tired already. Sebastian LOVES to go on the boat. I think Badger is a little more unsure so he tends to stick by someone the whole time. We even have doggy life vests for them. (See in my profile it says I spoil my pugs, here is a case and point :) ) Anyway, we left the Lake after dinner and drove home during a thunderstorm. Yeah that was fun watching the streaks of lighting touching down somewhere in the distance. We made it home and then just relaxed for the evening.

Monday: Well, Monday was the best day ever as it was May 26th and that is my birthday! I survived turning the big 32. Yeah not that exciting, just another year older. We went to BratFest in Madison. We go every year so we had to make an appearance and eat some yummy brats. After that we went and saw the new Indiana Jones movie. It was funny and entertaining. I recommend it. After the movie we came home and had grilled halibut for dinner. YEAH!! One of the things I miss the most about not living on the West Coast is seafood and I mean fresh ocean seafood. Well, we splurged and got some halibut steaks at the store. Halibut is my favorite fish and I don't eat it often here as it is VERY expensive and hard to find. I always eat in on vacation in CA though. I eat as much seafood as I can while vacationing.

I know not a super exciting weekend but we got to spend time with family and go to the movies which we hardly ever do so that was fun. We also got some news about our adoption too...

WE ARE #51 !!!

We don't expect to move up too much more with the June 1st cut off date looming but you never know. Movement will be slow over the summer and the first part of fall. No one is expecting another big rush of referrals until October and probably end of October. Even with summer referrals, the courts need to open and get situated which takes time and then we need all of those who did get a summer referral to travel so new babies can come into the Care Center before we can get our referral. It all could happen faster than we think but it could also take longer than we think. We will see what happens :)
