Revised Homestudy, Yard Sale, & Yes, Tim Gunn

I received an e-mail from my home study agency yesterday, saying that they expect to receive my update home study today and will send it right off to me. I am hoping the timing will work so I can go to the State House on Monday and get this latest hurdle, well, hurdled. I feel fortunate to have made the decision to do this a few days before others from LMI were advised to do the same. And, as I was only in translation for 2-3 days prior, I feel like it's all for the better. 

Yard sale preparation is in full gear and people seem to be coming through, once again. A canoe, a big tv, kitchen stuff, a mountain bike - You name it! We've got it! This weekend will be spent running around collecting stuff and getting it ready for the big show next weekend. 

Now onto Tim Gunn, because you know that's what caught your attention ;-)  Yes, people, it's true. This country girl has landed tickets to the Project Runway Fashion Show in Bryant Park during New York Fashion Week.  (squeals of delight are entirely appropriate right now)  Yes, I will be there watching the finalists show their collections. I am a pretty laid back NH girl these days, but remember, after growing up in Providence and spending my adult life in DC and Stockholm, I'm a city girl at heart and MAN are my city sirens a-blarin' today! Project Runway, baby. I have to go - I only have two weeks to decide what I am going to wear. HAHA "Make it work."

I am so happy you were able to get your home study updated so you can still be ahead of the pack. Great news on the yard sale, I am planning on having one in September when its a little cooler here.

Ok onto Tim Gunn.. I am so jealous... I am a major city girl and love love love fashion, my first career choice was fashion buyer, but instead i chose to work with numbers. My love for fashion is never ending. Take lots of pictures..... (btw how did you score tix)

Thanks, Sandi. Hopefully I can have the revised home study off to Texas next week. I'll need to take a few hours off from work, as it seems I won't get it by Monday, but that's ok. My boss is awesome.

Ok Tim Gunn. I KNOW. *happy dance* One of my best friends is a VP at Bravo and she's been here all week visiting. When she saw all of the Project Runway episodes on my Tivo she was like, "huh, I had no idea. Want to go to Fashion Week?" I jumped on her lap and ran up to my closet to start looking at what I would wear. I'm not sure they allow pics inside since it airs several weeks after the taping. But you can BET I will try! LOL

P.S. I am STILL looking for those SKM NorthFace boots that you all have. I even have Nordstrom in Boston trying to find out the name of the make. LOL

This is the story of how a single 30-something year old woman and a 6.5 month old angel from Kazakhstan found each other and became a family. A journey which started as a dream, became reality in August 2009 when two hearts found one home... together.
