we have reached a new level of awkward...

the jew and i have reached a whole new level of domesticity. we're applying to adopt zoe. she's melted our hearts and we can't stop thinking about her.

the jew: "are we ready to make this decision?"
me: "i think we've reached a point in our relationship that it's time to add a little one."
the jew: "this is going to be so awkward."
me: "yep."
the jew: "do you think we need to tell the landlord that we're getting another dog?"
me: "we didn't tell him we were bringing [the ruskie] into the house...this isn't much different."

we have to apply to adopt her. together. we have to attend classes together, as a "family/household". we have to have a home visit. on the application the jews name is listed first. the second section says "spouse/significant other.":

the jew: "do i list you down as my significant other?"
me: "i think i am at this point."
the jew: "so awkward."
me: "very."
the jew: "do you think they'll be upset that zoe will have two mommies?"
me: "this is so awkward."

we started the application process. we're going to get a new baby. the ruskie is going to give us the look when we tell her. whatev, ruskie, whatev.

on the chance that we don't get approved for zoe, we're going out in search of a puppy tomorrow. after that we'll probably go to home depot, bed bath & beyond, play some softball , bbq, then fall asleep on the couch together while doing the crossword puzzle. :)
