Update

Since my last post, there have been some changes in our lives:

1. I'm working full time as a night shift ER nurse.
2. Pat's in full-time grad school
3. We're attending Willow Chicago Church
4. We're putting the adoption on hold indefinitely for financial reasons

That pretty much sums up our life right now. I'm getting sick more frequently than I'd care to...mostly because I work in a human petri dish, and my body doesn't know day from night anymore. Hopefully my immune system will get used to the exposure, and a day time shift will open up for me!
