And another reason that we are wanting to get in shape . . . Dustyn got a summer job! Yay! He is going to be a teacher at a 5th grade summer camp, Camp Big Springs! He was a teacher 2 years ago and loved it. But he has to go on a major hike once a week. (The camp is for the month of June) And several smaller hikes through out the week. (Not to mention the hike to the stinkin' tent! That one about killed me everytime!!) So it would be great if he were in shape BEFORE camp starts so he doesn't die the first week! :)Now, I just need to go get a summer job! I will still be baby-sitting twice a week, but I need to find something else. I would love to go be up at camp with Dustyn and work as Kitchen staff, but it is so hard to make major decisions when you are adopting! One reason I decided to be a substitute teacher is because it is flexible and I can take time off whenever I want or need to. That would work really well if anything ever came up. But if we were both at camp for the entire month, we'd have to put our adoption on hold until after and that isn't something I want to do. (Once we make the commitment, we can't back out or come home early.) But I don't want to put my life on hold until we adopt either. I mean it could be years. It could be months. It could be days. You never really know.
That is the dilemma we are always trying to figure out. Dustyn was really nervous to commit to camp - but we figured it would all work out. The worst scenario is that he only gets to see the baby on the weekends for a month (or on placement day if it were ever to happen in June). Something we'd just have to deal with. I know, I know. I am worrying too much! It's just so hard to make decisions when you have no idea what your life will be like in the next month. :) But that isn't necessary a bad thing either! :)
