What a great weekend ahead of us!

Yes, how very true for us!! We've started off pretty good. Yesterday we received our Life Insurance letter and today (although a month later!) we have received our Health Insurance letter. I was starting to believe it just was not going to come!! So we now have our last of our information headed to Gladney. The last they will need then is our finalized home study. So again, just one step closer!

We are excited to be heading out camping this weekend. Always love Memorial Day for that extra day out in nature and the beautiful weather! The kids are SO excited; they've been asking all day when we're leaving. When is Grandma Barb gonna call so we can leave!

To all, have a fabulous long weekend!

WOW, what a weekend!

It's been a crazy weekend! But it started off great when I was able to send the 2nd packet of paperwork out to Kate to have authenticated for us! STILL waiting on our health insurance letter to show up. Hopefully it'll be here this week! We've been waiting a month on that one, so I'm VERY glad I told them about it when I did!! At least that isn't the last thing we're waiting on!!

So my 2 youngest cousins both graduate this weekend. I can remember as if it was yesterday when they were born. Kinda crazy to think of them as seniors now ready to go off to college! But it's been a perfect and beautiful weekend for it!

No other real exciting news right now otherwise. Just in a little bit of a lull time right now waiting for a few things to show up or be finished up to ship off. A needed break, if nothing else. Trevor is out of school now for the summer, but the boys don't start playgroup till next week. I sure hope it's overly nice outside to let them run, or there might be 4 of us pulling our hair our come Friday!!! :-)

Last meeting

We had our last home study visit today. Great feeling to have just one more item checked off the list! We are getting SO close to being finished up, I can see that light at the end of the tunnel. Just a great feeling to know our little boy is just a little closer each and every day.

So now I'm just needing to get some documents notarized and get packet #2 Fedex'd out to Kate to be authenticated. That'll be my plan for tomorrow!! :-)

I have also decided to go back to school (again) :-) For a few years now I have looked into the medical transcriptionist program thru our little college here in town. I've pondered on and off thru the past few years and as of today, I am signed up for my first class. It'll be something I work on slowly and doing only as much as I can handle at that time, but I am VERY excited!!! I'll get to still be home with my kids, that's the best thing about it!!!!

It's been a busy, yet productive week!

So yesterday we had our 1st home study. All went well. Being familiar with the situation, it was a pretty simple process :-) But Juli....yes I was cleaning like a mad-woman!!

And I got a shocker today. We received our FBI Clearance this morning!! That went quick, but one more thing to mark off our list of things to do!!

Right now I'm getting ready to finish our dr appt. Gotta go back after having our blood work Tuesday and now get our papers signed. That'll be another thing to check off.

But tonite I'm headed for a good time. Going with some friends to see Wicked and I'm VERY excited.

Preparation

Haven't had a lot to work on in the past week. Just about everything for me to do has been taken care of. There are a couple documents that need to be redone for Kate, but those are kinda no big deal. And there is plenty of time to get those to her.
Still waiting on our health insurance letter. I don't like it when people think I have all the time in the world. That letter to me is one of those things to where once it's in my hands, I can rest at ease! :) Just a bit frustrating....but it should be here soon. (HOPEFULLY!!)

Tomorrow is our first home study. Ready to get that all started. Once the home study is finished we'll be able to finish up what is not yet done. So we're close, really close. It's a good feeling.
