Classes

      Well our classes are tomorrow. I am excited to learn about all the cool information that they have for us. As of right now I am just waiting on our marriage license to show up and our insurance to kick in and then we will be ready for our home study. I have been going through the house and de-cluttering every room. I have given away so much stuff but I feel so good just having it organized and clean.

       The room that is to be the nursery is getting closer to being ready for paint and bedding and all that good stuff. I know it sounds kinda dumb but I was so excited today because I got the laundry hamper I wanted in there put in the room and so now I feel like thats one step closer :) Greg and I are so ready for this, we are just so excited that hopefully soon we will have the new title of Mom and Dad!

YAY!

OK so 90% of the paperwork and online stuff is done! I'm so happy. I am just waiting for some insurance information  and then we'll be done! WAHOO!! Then we have training on the 17th and 18th of June and then hopefully our back ground checks will have been completed by then and we can get on the market!

Update to the update...

So after hours of searching for my social security card and tearing the house apart and getting upset and retracing my steps and going through the garbage. Greg comes home and says "Oh yeah, I forgot I put it up in the filing cabinet"... Needless to say he is in some MAJOR hot water. I was so happy/ ticked off that I started to cry and then he felt bad but still! ugh!! oh and P.S. He knew I had been looking for it ALL day.

Meeting Update :)

Hi all I thought I'd pop on for a sec and let you know that we had our meeting and it went well. We got all the information in and answered all our questions right so we are offically clients. I just need to find my damn Social security card so they can send in our background checks. I had it pulled out a week ago so I could go get a replacement drivers license and now that I need it its MIA , We also got the other forms so we can go get our physicals and turn in our financial records and our past taxes and also Birth certificates and marriage certificates. Its a little overwhelming but I'm ready to tackle it. There is also a bunch of online stuff that we need to do as well so yup I'm having a moment. But the caseworker yesterday was like ok you'll pay your $1,000 today and that is good for a year so don't drag your feet on getting everything done. She said that some couples got going and then just got discouraged and let it go. Well NO problem there! Starting next week I plan to have almost all of it completed. Wish me luck!!

1st Meeting!

Ok so we had a small delay from our bishop... He took a little while sending in his letter but thankfully LDSFS called and reminded him of it :) After they got the letter they asigned us a caseworker and she called a day or two later and we now have our first intake meeting on Thursday! I'm so excited!! I think after talking with our caseworker it finally hit me that HOLY COW, We ARE adopting!! I mean I know our end result is still a little ways off but I'm just so happy to be moving along! Once I know more from our meeting I will share on here!

Update... not much of one but an update all the same ;)

So my bishop pulled me aside 2 Sundays ago and said that he had gotten the letter from the adoption agency and that he still needed to fill it out and send it in. He apologized and said that he had been out of town and that was why he hadn't done it yet..... sigh. I just told him that it's all good and to just fill it out and send it in sometime soon because as soon as he does that then we get a call from them and we get to start meeting with them and really get going! SO as of 3:33 pm on wednesday the 26th of April I'm waiting for that phone call still.... :)

Waiting.....

Ok well the papers are turned in and the fun of waiting begins. I turned them in last week and then called my bishop just to say that his letter would be coming his way shortly. Now it's just waiting, and waiting some more :) but you know I'm ok with it. WOW can't believe I just said that. But really I think I am. Greg and I are busy with the everyday stuff and just having fun trying to keep our heads above water and so we just get to sit back and dream about what our life will be like once we have a child in the house. It was funny the other day we were remarking on how quiet and peaceful the house is and I turned to him and said "Now you know when we have a baby in here it's not gonna be so quiet anymore, right?" and it looked and me and said without missing a beat "Well it's a good thing I'm going deaf then isn't it? " Gotta love him :)
