On Our Way

Well, it's official: we have actually mailed in our first batch of paperwork!! This includes our background checks that will take about 6-months to process. So from here, there is no big rush on anything, just waiting...and waiting...

It's ironic though because after mailing in that first packet, it opened up a whole new door (website) with a ridiculous amount of additional paperwork! There are a lot of deep and difficult questions to answer, so I intend on taking my time to do this right! My friend Mary Catharine said I could complain about the paperwork as much as I wanted because this is my back pain, morning sickness, and absurd cravings! You better believe I am going to milk this for all its worth!

Thank you to everyone who has helped with the process so far. Those who are our references and our families for having to answer some moderately ridiculous questions like concerning their physical descriptions and their hobbies/talents. Why birth mothers would want to know our siblings interests is beyond me, but if they do, the info is there.

I am happy for you and know everything will work out for you two. You are meant to be parents. :) I enjoyed Mary Catherine's comment and totally agree!

Hooray! That's so awesome! We got the paperwork from LDS family services and we'll get that off super quick! The 6 months will probably go by faster than you expect! Well.... Maybe? Time does pass at a different speed out there in Colorado...

Love the new look. And, hey, don't forget to make Nick rub your feet every night, and get you ice cream in the middle of the night. We are excited for you!
