Welcome to my blog. You will see that some of the posts from the last two months have consisted of a lot of gloom and drama. I'm not going to lie, the end of September and all throughout October, life in my little corner sucked, so most of the recent posts reflect how I dealt with the aftermath of the suckiness of a failed adoption, and the grief that followed, (it felt like another miscarriage).
The highlight of November so far is that The Hubsand and I moved to a newly remodeled apartment. Its very nice with its all tiled floors, crown molding, recessed doors, granite counter tops, sunshine in the living room from morning to afternoon, microwave above the stove, new dishwasher, and plush carpeted bedrooms. (Did I just get excited about crown molding?)
I'm still unpacking, so we will see how much I like this new apartment when I can't fit all my
Our cat, Jack seems to like the new place, though he camped out in the guest bathroom for the first four days we were here. He seems to have rediscovered the sun and he likes it...a lot.
I hope to get to know many of you this week.

I love crown molding. Of all place, my parents had it in the utility room only..such a waste. I think it should have been in the entire house!
I'm hoping that soon you'll have a baby to adopt. Sorry that it went so badly last time.
Mmmm...sunlight. What's sunlight? All I see outside my windows of late is RAIN!!!
Hi from ICLW!
I have to say you have a much stronger soul than I. I'm pretty sure I would have quit by now. I read some of these blogs with couples who have gone through so much more than we have and I feel stupid, and don't even really know what to say.
Hope you find a match soon!
Hi there. I found your blog through ICLW and am so sorry about all of your heartache. I hope you get your baby very soon!
Hi there, here from ICWL.
Hope your new apartment brings with it lots of luck for your adoption journey (and all other aspects of your life) and that you will see much happiness in those rooms!
Enjoy the new place! I like crown molding too :)
Your new place sounds lovely!
I'm a sucker for beautiful features in a house/apartment :)
I hope things go better for you and your husband in 2012.

Enjoy your new place!!
Don't worry about doom and gloom, that is what blogs are for, to express those feelings we may not be able to express in everyday life.
your Bloggy friends will understand and support you!!!
Happy ICLW

I can completely relate to the grief of a failed adoption! We had one ourselves a couple of years ago. We've now started the adoption process again and, hopefully, this time will work out. Be sure to give yourself time to grieve - a failed adoption is much like a miscarriage. You feel the pain, you watch the hopes and dreams you had flit down the drain of life. You really need to take time to grieve for the life you were expecting and then prepare for the life that is yet to come. It does get better, I promise.
Happy ICLW!
