Making money and it all dissappears

So Jacob got a job. YAY! It's a really great job, he loves it and it pays well and has great benefits. He gets six weeks paid vacation, medical, dental, life, and 401k. He also gets security clearance which they have decided to rush through right now.
Because of this great change around for us we have decided to go ahead with a few things this year. We are going on a cruise for our eighth anniversary. It's 9 days, leaves out of baltimore, and hits 4 ports; San Juan, St. Thomas, Haiti, Dominican Republic. We decided to do it this year for two reasons. We had to get passports for Jacob's job and we might not be able to later.
We have also decided to move to a bigger apartment. The place we are moving to is Courthouse Square in Towson, Md. It has a vintage feel, and it's 500 square feet bigger than our last place. We decided to do this because Jacob and I are putting in adoption papers in October. We are very excited.

So this summer has become very expensive with all the moving plans, adoption, and vacations. However, we are very excited for our future. A lot in our life is changing and all for the good. So pray for us, so that we can get and keep everything together.

Babies on the brain

So Jacob and I are trying to have a baby. Not that we weren't before, but we really are trying hard now. Timing is wierd of course, but then who ever has the money for them. If you'll notice, to the side is a link to our baby name survey. If you have the time, please fill it out and let us know what you think.

The End of the Holidays

Yay, the holidays were great. I always love visiting with the family. Of course Santa gave me everything I asked for and Jacob got everything he wanted and needed. We were actually able to visit Jacob's sister this holiday too. I finally met our nephew Spencer who is now 2.
Jacob is still looking for a job but he is going in for an interview on Monday with General Dynamics. I am going to Disney World at the end of the month and I'm actually auditioning to be a Disney Princess....YAY!
Well, this is just a short blurb....I have to teach my mom how to use itunes. Love everyone!

The Beginning

YAY FOR US!

We have officially started our first blog. We'll see how long it lasts but since "everyone's doing it", we thought we would join in the popularity. I am of course speaking for Jacob as that is typically my job. Hopefully I will remember to update it and won't get too lazy but we will see. I hope everyone keeps in touch with us, feel free to visit anytime and to post a response.

Melissa
