Impromptu Blogger Hang Out, and other Big News!

I dropped off some Rota sweet potatoes last night for Jeff, and this morning he emailed to thank me, and suggested we go get a drink tomorrow night at Porky's at 6pm. Then he wondered if we should include the other bloggers... and seeing as I haven't been to the last 3 or so meet-ups, I put in a whole-hearted YES!

SO, any and all bloggers or non-bloggers but blog readers that want to come and hang out at Porky's for a while on Friday night, you are welcome to join us! I think I will cheat and have A drink (since my diet is precluding them right now), and I think I'd be smashed if I had more than that since I haven't had a drink in almost a month. Sheesh.

Anyway, onto the big news. I have sent out an email to all my close friends and family about this, but wanted to let my readers know that I am now looking into adopting a child. I don't plan on doing it right now, I'm thinking in about a year from now, but it seems that adoptions here on Saipan are seemingly easier and less expensive than those on the mainland. I have always wanted to be a mother, and while I'm not giving up on finding someone to share my life with, I don't want to be a first time mother at 45. And, as an adopted child, I know how great adoption is. I've been praying about this, and really feel led to adopt. Right now, I'm just muddling things over, and looking at the process, and praying that God will tell me when the right time is. Of course, there will always be naysayers that say I'm insane for wanting to be a single mother by choice, and doing it while being so far away from my family and support system. But, I DO have family here... Anne-Marie, and Juanita and several others who have become my island family. I do have a support system. So, there you go. That's my news. Crazy or not. But then again, no one has ever accused me of being sane, and I've always marched to the beat of my own drum.

See you all at Porky's at 6 tomorrow night!
