Yesterday was yet another day of shopping. Norm & I both worked in the morning and then loaded up the girls with the portable DVD player and their Ipods and off to Hershey Outlets we went. We found someawesome deals there. I have been searching with no luck for sundresses to take on our trip. Finally yesterday I went to the right place. I found numerous ones at The Dress Barn so I bought 2. They are the type of material that doesn't need ironed and they will pack really well. One more thing to check off of our list. The girls got some great deals at Aeropastale and I found a few tops for myself there too!!! Even Norm got a shirt. Then it was off to The Childrens Place...one of my favorite shops...and we found great stuff for Derek. Alyssa found the most items and the best prices. We had fun. Even Alyssa said when we got home that she had a good time...unusual for a soon to be 15 year old, especially mine. So I feel like I am making some headway on the packing which I better soon do.
Last night we went to a 25th wedding anniversary party for friends of ours. That was a great time. We got to be with some friends of ours that we unfortunately don't get together with often enough. We laughed about old times and made a few new memories to look back on next time we get together. Congrats to Chris & Tina for 25 years of marriage!!!!
I'm not sure what today hold for us yet. We have alot of things we'd like to accomplish today but it is rainy and that makes us lazy. Tomorrow, weather permitting, we are heading to Philly to the PA Hair Show. I love going there. Norm always goes with me. He is VERY supportive of my career. He truly is the best soulmate for me. I love that he wants to know what I do and to learn about my career. I'm not nearly as interested in his mechanic career though. I care but I don't get that into it. I hate the dirt. YUCK!!! All I think about is how dirty Derek is going to be after a day of tagging behind "DADDY" in the garage. Which remindsme...we got hime the cutest one piece shorts romper that says "Future CEO". I thought it was quite appropriate.
We probably won't hear much more on the adoption front until we get the call with our G&R date. So keep watching and I'll keep posting. Next week we will be getting our new case manager so I am a little on edge about that right now. I'm sure it will be fine. Just yet another adjustment to make in the process. Hopefully only about 3-4 more weeks and our paperwork will be back to the DIA and he will issue us our G&R date and we can begin our travel arrangements. We are looking so forward to getting to VN for Derek and also to CA to meet Michelle & Jeff. She has a few things in mind for us to do and see so we can't wait. I warned her it will be "rednecks" in the city when we get there. LOL!!!!
