Home study done!

We turned in our last two pieces of information on Friday. Now we wait for them to approve the home study and send it off to our agency in Illinois. One chunk of paperwork down, one to go!

Homestudy visit complete

After two days of what Jenny called "deep cleaning", we've finished the homestudy. The girls started the homestudy with a tour of the house. They did a great job, answered some questions, then were off with Debbie and the boys for some fun. We answered questions for about two and a half hours, mainly about our families, how we were raised, our marriage, and what we think about raising kids. It was all pretty easy.

So now we are back to waiting. Waiting for our FBI fingerprints to come back. Waiting for the USCIS clearance (which could take up to 90 days from the end of the homestudy). And finally waiting on Wells Fargo to write a simple letter. It's amazing how First National can do exactly what we need in about 10 minutes on a Monday at 5:30, but Wells Fargo needs at least 30 days. Oh well...all part of the process I guess.

Psychologist visit done!

We had our last appointment with our Psychologist today.

We did an ink blot test, it was really kind of interesting. I saw a lot of bats and butterflies!

I really liked our Psychologist, I kind of felt bad for him though. He has some kind of issue, he's in a walker and stuff and got really winded walking back to his office.
He reminded me some of Dad. He's mind is totally there, his body is just failing him some.
I really liked him, a super nice gentleman.

I am glad we have another piece done.
Slowly but surely we are moving along....
