We had a STACK of papers to get notarized. Our friend Kelli was gracious enough to offer up her notary service and we had a little signing party. It was fun to get it all done and catch up with our friends at the same time.
The papers are all "in the mail" as they say...or rather in the UPS, to be honest. Per the fancy UPS tracking device, they will arrive on time next week and then we are off to the next step:
The Ohio Child Abuse Checks. I don't know much about it, but I do know that it takes 90 days, and we can't meet with our social worker until this is complete.
Sorry the updates are not so exciting these days. Imagine how we feel! Exciting announcement, then waiting forever. It's like a broken roller coaster. But, we are still pretty excited. So, maybe it's like getting stuck at the top of the hill on the roller coaster. Which, I would think would be pretty fun.
I think the most exciting part is watching others get excited for us. My mother-in-law and I were garage-sale-ing (yes- that IS a verb!) the other day, and she was wishing she knew age/gender/etc of the child we'll get because she's ready to get toys, clothes, etc. She did talk me into buying one of those car window screens that block the sun. It was $1. I already use it. Good thinkin, Connie! Thanks! :)
That's all for today. Have a great weekend.
