The past month

So here is what I've been up to lately:

 At a brunch with some friends I work with in Young Women's.  That is my neighbor's baby I am holding.  She is so cute!

Another creation of mine-Creamy Pea Soup.  I loved it, Zac...not so much.  I topped it with some cheese, roasted red bell pepper and some crackers.  We dipped grilled cheese sandwiches in them-yum.  Have I mentioned how good it is to be able to eat again?

So this past month has been great.  I truly believe more than ever when one door closes another door opens.  Zac and I have been in the process of applying for adoption.  It has kept me really busy.  I feel like Zac and I have really bonded from working on some of the questionnaires together, answering difficult questions and discussing interesting topics concerning parenthood.  Each day we are getting closer to being finished and eligible to  hopefully be placed with a child.  

I got a new job this past week.  I work for a doctor in a family practice clinic.  I never thought I could work in an office, but this one is different.  Everyone I work with is so nice and fun to be around.  I stay pretty busy through out the day and so the time flies by.  I feel so blessed to have found such a great place to work.  It was kind of ironic how I stumbled upon this job.  I'll give you a quick summary.  I took my friend to Urgent Care last saturday night and was really impressed with the doctor (I am now working for) and all of his staff.  It made me want to work there so I asked if he was hiring.  He said, "Yes, as a matter of fact we are looking for someone to work the front office."  The next day I was working.  It feels good to be productive again.  However I will miss my days spent strolling through Costco tasting samples and lunch dates with such great friends.  All good things  must some to an end.

My gift to myself for finding a job I am excited about: Acrylics!

I finally got my nails done, like really done.  I have always wanted to have fake nails and when I got this job I knew the time had come.  I have never been able to with volleyball and then working as a waitress forever.  I am not going to lie, they are a little annoying for the following reasons:

  *they hurt

  *I can't take my contacts out, minor setback

  *I can't lick out my pudding cups anymore

  *I can't bite my nails 

  *I can't open the little flap on my cell phone so I can charge my phone

  *I can't type

Other than that, they're great.  The price I pay for vanity-eek.  My goal is to see how long I can keep them before I pull them off.  I really want to get little snowmen on them come November 1st.  We'll see.  

So the fact I would put this on my blog means I am not vain-right?  Zac kept making me make psycho faces until he saw what he wanted to capture on camera.  He could not get over how freaky I looked in this photo.  I mean he was rolling on the bed laughing after he took it.  It is a bit scary.  How dumb am I to keep making faces to appease him, his laugh is just so funny though.  I guess we were really bored one saturday morning.  He had just given me a scalp massage.  Put that and my greasy hair together and wala.
