Moving Along on the Paper Chase!

I've been busy paper chasing. So far I've....

• Copied birth certificates, marriage license, and passports and had them all notarized.
• Made an appointment for our first home study (June 24th)
• Made appointments for our physicals (July 7th)

We still need to get our background checks and fingerprints. Before our home study, we have to fill out a questionnaire which has lots and lots of questions. Soooo much to do, but it feels good to finally get started.

As soon as we get a LID (Log In Date), I think we'll pick a name. We have it narrowed down to about 25 (hey, that's good if you know me and my love for names!) but we have a few that we keep going back to. We still have a few months to decide. I do want to name her soon because right now she's just called 'the baby' or 'our baby from China'. It would be nice to call her something else! (Although, both of those are better than what Natalie (one of my students called her)....'that girl from China'!)

Oh, and for those that might still be wondering.... we're hoping to hear something about the house soon. (Haven't I been saying that for 15 weeks now?!?) I think it's for real this time. As soon as I do know, I'll post or email. Maybe we can move before I have to go back to work! That would be awesome! I am kind of bummed that this waiting has totally wrecked my summer vacation plans! I just can't plan a trip to TX or OK until I know if and when we're going to close. As the days turn into weeks, my travel opportunity gets shorter and shorter. :o(

And that's it for tonight!
