Post homestudy visit #1

So, we had visit #1 today! It went well. Although our nerves were in a bundle big time! She was supposed to be here @ 3:30, but didn't arrive until 4:00! But it's all b/c I told to turn left instead of right! She was going the complete opposite from our home! Oh well! She called and it was straightened out. I felt so bad! I wrote her the directions @ about midnight so, I was a little tired!

When she finally got here, we were still nervous for the first little bit, but then she made us feel at ease. She was extremely nice, and it really did feel like she was on our side. It was easy to talk to her. She answered a lot of our questions, and asked us about many things. We talked about our family, church family, our decision to adopt, and of course some finances. She was here about an hour, but it didn't seem that long.

Another awesome thing is that Buddy, our daschund, behaved! He barks A LOT @ people he doesn't know. He doesn't have a small bark either. He sounds like a huge dog, even though he's short! Well, praise the Lord, he only barked a couple of small barks @ the beginning, and then he was quiet the rest of the time. He was such a good boy and he liked her!

So, the next step is our individual interviews. She said she would contact us after Thanksgiving and do them both the same day. We're moving right along! Can't wait to have our little one here in their home!

Thanks everyone for all the prayers! Even though we were nervous, we could definitely tell that you all were lifting us up!
