The two things required by our agency that we create ourselves to give an expectant mother an idea of who we are is a letter and a website. Our letter was available for distribution beginning this past Monday. Our website is “going live” today. Going live just means that on my agency’s website our picture and an intro will be linked to our website. From what I know website’s are becoming a norm just like the pap profile or letter.
Something I thought was neat: Our agency’s website is searchable. For example, if an expectant mom wants a family who is not Christian (like us), there is a search for the religion of the family and we would be under “Other non-Christian” (don’t get me started on the terminology; there are four different categories for Christian, one category for “other non-Christian,” and one category for “no religion”). A list of paps that are not Christian would show up along with a picture and an intro with the link to each pap’s website. Potentially, an expectant mom would see our picture and read our intro and realize what a cute family we are and click on the link to our website. On our website are pictures of us, some words about who we are, and information on how to get in touch with us via email or phone. I’m toying with the idea of adding a blog to our website. It seems to be a new thing that is starting to catch on. I’m just not sure what I would write about. The thing that draws me about having a blog on our website is that I’m much more articulate in written word than I am in person. I don’t have a lot of charm and charisma (my sister is the one that managed to keep all that for herself, but I got the boobs, so you know. . .), and I was hoping that part would shine through more if I were to write.

Completely changing the subject. About the gas:
I’m jealous of all of you under $4. ;p By now, it’s been 2 days since I took that picture and we’re at about $4.73-4.79, depending on the gas station. At the moment I’m paying just over $60 to fill my car up (no big giant SUV or minivan or truck, just a car) about once a week. When I first started driving I was 18 and paid about $12-15 to fill my car up.
