Things have been kind of crazy lately, and trying to post has been impossible! Nothing new with our adoption, however, I started a new job 2 weeks ago at Invitrogen. So far, I love the job - good supervisor, interesting project, cool people to work with. Although I still miss everyone at LCNI, it was the right decision to take the new position. Of course, I can't really talk about what I do at Invitrogen, but suffice it to say that I am finally doing the kind of research I was trained for. Yahoooo!
One good piece of news is that the first two families adopting from Vietnam through PLAN are traveling in the next week or two. So, we should have lots of details about what their experience is and it might make it a bit easier to plan for our trip. I am still hoping we will get to travel in September, but it is likely we won't have definite information until 2 weeks before we have to be in Vietnam. Scarey!
Our nursery is started to get crowded. We borrowed a crib from a friend and now it is set up in the room along with the queen bed already in there. Something has to go, because it is starting to look like a big storage room. It's a bit weird to have the crib - everything is starting to feel real.
Oh, I almost forgot, last weekend I went on my first long bike ride! Kathleen and I rode in Cycle Oregon (weekend ride) from Eugene to Oakland, OR and back. 70 miles each day! It was hotter then hell last weekend (112 at one point) but we both made it none for the worse. It was a beautiful ride and I sure hope that I get back to those country roads on my own sometime. It was also great to realize that I can do long rides (although, next time it will have to be a bit cooler and I need a granny gear for the mountains).
That all for now. I'll try to keep up on the posting a bit more, but summertime is the worst time for me to try to stay inside.......
