Ok universe, I get the message

Everything seems to be falling into place. I was just offered a job at a university in Northern California! I can't even express how thrilled I am. It actually feels kind of crazy how we were able to make all of this work. We sold our home in July and moved into an apartment, signing a six month lease. Three months later, Kirk interviewed and was offered a job at the exact state hospital he wants to work at. We plan our move, I give notice at work, and three weeks later I'm offered the exact position I want at the university! I will be working in Counseling and Psychological Services doing direct clinical care. It's a full time position and I begin January 4th. I remember telling some friends that my ideal would be to have a month off, and know that I have a job. That way, I could really relax during the month. Lo and behold...I get exactly what I asked for. My parents happened to move to Woodland, which is right between Kirk's job and my job, so Kirk and I can just transfer our positions and have a 15 minute drive to work. We will have lived in our apartment for 5 months, the timing is amazing. Ok universe, I get the message...

We move in two weeks, and oddly enough, getting exactly what we asked for has made both Kirk and I pretty anxious and emotional! This move is really symbolic. We are starting our family, we are buying our family home, and we are choosing to be by family so that our child will have a village. Moving somehow makes this adoption more real, and it's making me more impatient! When we buy our home, I think I may become very impatient, because then all that will be separating me from my child is time.

Two more weeks and we're Northern Californians, I can't wait!
