Dont feel bad. Your workouts are showing!

Now here is a secret, just between you and skinny. Skinny can only bench 40 lbs. It is me and just the bar. I think I can get about 5 good reps in and it is downhill from there

We are just starting our home study, so been getting together lots of documents and filling out paperwork for them. Cant wait to get to the dossier part and do it all over again :P

My older daughter, now 14, was born in Kazakhstan and I brought her home in 2004. My younger daughter, now 12, was born in China and we brought her home in 2007. Both of my adoptions took exactly 9 months, which is kind of ironic.

Things seemed to be much easier and there used to be many more options back then.

Nice dancing hahaha. I was wondering how you were doing. Super fantastic obviously! Congrats on the weightloss so far and congrats on starting the adoption process! Lots of exciting things happening in your life! BTW, I refuse to buy new underwear too. People don't see them so no hurry.

Looking great - Very handsome!  Good luck on the adoption.  My 2 youngest were adopted (28 and 25 now). The best thing we ever did - The child who belongs with you will come to you.
