All's quiet on the adoption front

No adoption news, work, or thoughts, so I thought I would share a bit about myself since there are people reading my blog who don't know me. I'm a 32 year old single woman who works for a hospital in San Antonio, Texas. I decided to adopt a child after accomplishing the goals I set for myself after graduating from college. I lived in multiple place, travelled, obtained a graduate degree and have a successful career. Now I'm back in Texas and within hours from my family. I always wanted my child to be close to their extended family. As far as my adoption, I'm requesting an infant girl, but if I end up with a boy I'll be just as happy. Why a girl you ask? It's more of a comfort thing. I know girls. I grew up with a sister, and have two nieces (with lots of great hand-me-downs). I've worked at an all girls camp, women's college, and have dealt with all the "growing up a girl" type things. Don't worry though! If I end up with a little boy, I'm more than confident in myself that I'll figure it out.

For a change of topic, I'm sick of this template. I signed up with Blogger Beta and there aren't a lot of compatible templates outside of the ones that Blogger provides. I know I can go in and mess with the HTML, but I've been to lazy to do it. I'm looking for things to do today, so maybe this is my project for the day.
