Getting ready

So, I know they say your house doesn't have to be perfect for the home study visit, but we are trying to get some things done around the house. We want it to look nice. There's just some things that have needed to be done, and the home study has given us the extra little boost to get them done. Things like, paint our storage building, trim the bushes, straighten out the flower beds and de-weed them, clean out the room that's going to be the babies, and power wash the house. We did a little outside today. It's gorgeous outside! We mainly just straightened up the flower beds and such. There's still more to do, but only so much time. We still need to power wash the house, and trim the bushes (after the last little icident though, it may not get done, at least not with electric trimmers)! I know it doesn't have to be perfect b/c many people have gone through the home study process and have done fine. We will too, it's just a little nerve wrecking!

Still working on my autobiography too. It's kind of hard! Once you get started though, it's not too bad. I just want to make sure that I word things the right way! You know, some things can be taken different ways depending on the person reading it. You may have meant it one way, and it sounded write in YOUR head, but not in the person's reading it. Oh well! We'll get through that too I guess. On another note, going along with the home study, all of our references have finished and are ready to send them in on Monday! Yay! That's one step closer to our baby! Thanks to all of you that did that for us. We really appreciate it!

And one last thing, we got a donation for our adoption! Thanks to Bill's mom. We still have a long way to go, but every bit counts and we are so thankful.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Oh yeah, this was just for you Mrs. Terri...and you too Daniel! :)
