Home Study. Step 1

We had our first step of our home study at the end of May.  Home study, like I have said before is 'home study' is an adoption term. I am learning them as I go. Some I still don't get. Home study, I only know step 1. I will learn as we go. Part 2 is our individual meeting. 
We went and met with our, I guess she's called a case worker, on Thursday afternoon before we headed to the beach for Memorial Day weekend.  We met at a local restaurant, on the patio. It was so relaxed. I was a little nervous. Telling someone you had never met your dreams and about your 'history'. She stated that by the end she will know way more about us than we want her to know.
We just talked a little bit about what we had in mind, and she went through a page and a half of 'to-do's'.  We have to get lots of documents, certificates, questionnaires, letters, physicals, fingerprints, verification's, photos of us and our home, etc.  We have no deadlines so that makes things a little harder for me. Self motivated? I think I'm better at timelines. So I have set some for myself. I love check lists, so that's helpful. Motivating? I hope so.

So...here's to being self motivated, and checking off that to-do list!!

1. Questionnaire - check
2. Photos of our home - check
3. Photos of us - check
4. Sheriff's reports from our address - 2 out of 4 (yes we have lived in 4 counties in 5 years) 
5.

Picking It Back Up

It's been a minute. Actually it's been five years.  I'll just say life got crazy busy adding our girl.  So let's start with today. Today I am sitting and thinking about everything. Life. We are currently living in an apartment in Macon. A loft apartment, meaning it's real expensive. Not much more about it is fancy. We do have an elevator but that's about it. We are in the meh, middle stages of building our house. June 2018, we bought 21.55 acres in a spot in the road called Forsyth. It's just outside of McDonough (where we grew up) and Macon. We looked in lots of places, tired to decide where we wanted to raise our kids. We wanted excellent schools and wanted to in a good church. June 2019, we sold our house on April Drive in Conyers and moved to The Lofts at Bass while we built our home. We wanted to go ahead and get the big kids in school where they would be once the house was complete. They are there!  We are hoping to be in it by Halloween. Our bu...

We're Back!

So I wanted to try to start blogging again. I went to my blog and I can't figure out how to work it. It's different, and I couldn't make it cute. So have moved back to Blogger. Here we are. This is my favorite time of year to do fun Pinterest crafts, so watch out! I will try to feed the family and wash clothes, but for the most part, you can find me some where doing a DIY project. 'Til then-Bye!
