Weekend Plans

Bryan and I are excited. We are attending our first adoption seminar Celebration of Created Families this Saturday. Check out the link and look at the itinerary. A lot of areas will be covered. We have been registered for sometime now. It looks like it will be very informative and offer some insight into various topics surrounding adoption and the process. We remain on the "interested family" list at my dr's office, but we have not taken any other major steps toward adoption (speaking to other agencies, etc). We have an idea when we may start taking more steps but I'll expand on that at a later time.

Tonight we are eating with Jorge and Brooklyn Gorton at their house. They are going to a graduation party so Bryan and I will be watching the two girls tonight. They usually go to bed around 7:30 - 8:15 so I'm taking laundry over to fold and my photo album and pictures to work on. I'm not sure what Bryan is going to do.......fold clothes maybe!!!

Have a wonderful weekend!!!


p.s. We are Washington DC bound!!!!!!!!!! Bryan and I spent over 3 hours on Wednesday night researching the area and finding the best flight/hotel rates!!! Bryan is a genius!!! He used a map that showed true satellite images and we could zoom in enough to see the roof tops and signs of the hotels. This allowed us to really understand the area. He is good!!! Our reservations are made. We fly out on Tuesday 7/1 and we get back on Monday 7/7. I told Bryan last night I need to brush up on my American History and George Washington (I want to tour Mt. Vernon) before we go!!! I'm serious. I'm thinking about going to Barnes and Noble this weekend. Anyone been to Baltimore Maryland?? We are staying there and riding the train into DC. I'm looking for ideas for Baltimore.

Julie,
I'm so happy you are getting to go on the trip to D.C.! Yeah!
I keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you are thinking about adoption. I've read of others on the blog who have adopted and they've just been thrilled with the precious little ones God has given them.
Have a blessed weekend.
Love,
Valerie

My work corporate office is in Baltimore. I've been several times but mostly have done work things. But you MUST go down to the inner harbor. There are all kinds of neat restuaurants and stores down there. Baltimore is a neat city.
