All about us

June 21, 2012 DH and I have been married for just over 6 years. We have been TTC for nearly 4 years, and have recently decided to pursue adoption (in addition to trying "naturally") once I finish my graduate degree in library science, in May of 2013. We plan to submit our initial application to the adoption agency in January 2013. We are the proud, harassed, owners of 3 dogs. Pongo (an almost-8-year-old shih tzu/beagle mix), Lucy (a 3 year-old rescued greyhound/saluki mix), and Sam (a 2 year old rescued beagle/Jack Russell Terrier mix). We like to spend our spare time reading, running, fundraising for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society as a part of Team in Training, and hanging out at home with the dogs.
