We got good news today- our final background check thing-y arrived in our Social Worker's mail today and she will have our written homestudy by Wednesday for us to read and correct. Then it's off to the agency and to the state of Florida along with the last bits and pieces of our dossier. Thankfully, they are allowing us to send a photo of us looking spiffy (instead of shocked and sullen as in our passport photos) to Vietnam.

Reason number 73729090qqqqqqqqqqqqI why we need to move out of this condo AS SOON AS POSSIBLE:

This horrible sound was what woke us up this morning. Nothing like a drill/jackhammer in cement to start your day off in optimism and good cheer. The building's roof was severly damaged in hurricane Wilma, and they are finally getting around to replacing it. Of course, the work starts just before we move out, meaning we have to pay the assessment. Oh well.

I leave you with a picture of another of our "children"- this is Jack, one of our leopard geckos. Click on the photos for full size images. Our awesome exotic vet (we also have two parrots) gave Jack and his girlfriend, Janet, to us for my birthday a few years ago. They are around 10-11 years old, and don't do much but sleep and look for food, but I am entertained by them. By the way, geckos should NOT have pot bellies.

Chel (pronounced "shell"). 33. Mama to Gracie. Artist. Friend. Adoptive parent. Scrapbooker (not a very good one, at that). Long distance swimmer. Animal rescuer. Wife. Beader maker. Vegetarian. Rubber stamp collector.

Why the change? This new face of gingerblue.com is the culmination of three online journals/blog (the adoption blog, the baby blog, the art blog), plus the personal web page I have been maintaining since 1995. Here you'll find updates on Gracie, updates on my jewelry making, what I have going on in my art studio, and what's going on with life in general.
