That's What's Up.

Greetings fine people of the Internet!

Remember the Dr. Seuss Baby Shower
we had...a YEAR ago? we still have everything!

I've apparently had way too much time on my hands today. Which is weird seeing as I started the morning off extreeeeemly slow.
 Usually on my days-off I'm all over the place by 8am. Somehow I didn't even start my day till about 10, and even then I took my sweet time. (But now that I look back, I think I may have had about 3 cups of coffee during that "slow" time...)

But hey, I read a little, cleaned the house, made a smoothie, drove out to see my horse, drove out to look at a new potential barn, cooked some yummy Paleo banana muffins, took a little nap (WHAT?! that NEVER happens!), and then gave this blog a little updated look.
 Like it?

anyway.... onto the important stuff.

UPDATE #9,567:
So here's the deal. We had our LAST and final Home Inspection last week! And yes, we passed!
We had to cut short the only one week vacation I'll get this year, but oh well, totally worth it!

Now, What's next?

Now we wait. again. I know, shocking, isn't it?
Our paper work (Home Study) is going to our CSW's Supervisor for a final inspection before it can be fully approved.

This can take about a month.

But, after that approval goes through, we will receive notification that we are finally "in the system" to be chosen for a match!

Our Social Worker will receive the calls, and then decide (based on all the info we gave her over the last year), what child or children fit our profile the best. Then she will call me, and we'll chat about it for a while.

Once we find a match that sounds like a good one, Matt and I will have a meeting or two with the kid's Social Worker. We'll go over all the info they have on the kiddo(s). If, after all that, everything still sounds good, then we will have some meet-and-greet time!

Does this process sound long enough to you? Because it should!

But, it's OK.
 I'll need that time to decide what I'm doing with my job and finding a part time replacement and all that crazy stuff.

So no matter how insane this whole thing has been, and is going to be, I am perfectly content that it is all working out JUST the way God wants it to.

And ya can't argue with God!

Oh! Ps, I made a Facebook group page for this site as well. Just because. enjoy!
