It's been a while

Shew! So it's been a while since my last update.

We were finally able to get our 1st of 3 home visits scheduled, it will be on January 26. We have got lots of copies to make and another form or two to complete but I feel like we are pretty well prepared. I hope to get the crib and changing table in the room by then and start "putting the room together".

Pray for us as we work on these things, I have hoped to spend lots of time on this stuff recently but have had other stuff getting in the way. We will spend Saturday devoted to preparing for the home study. I have to proof my autobiography and Shaun still hasn't gotten started on his!

20-10...2000-10...stardate...The Year of Our Lord

I can't believe that it's 2010!

I just hate how quickly time flies when we are off work! We have accomplished a few things that I had hoped for but not all. We organized the laundry room and I found that the table that I love fits by the dryer so it is not for sale! We sat the portable dishwasher out in the driveway on Wednesday while we went to the zoo; Shaun was certain that no one would take it because I was honest on the FREE sign and wrote that it needed a new door gasket but when we returned it was gone... Happy Anniversary to us! The dinning table is now in the kitchen but I still have no pantry and desperately need one. I have also decided for certain that the kitchen must be painted.

For the most part the spare room is empty, I just have to find a home for this Replica Queen Anne chair that actually belongs to my mother but neither one of us have space for... it's burgundy pleather and free for the taking. Other than the chair and a few misc. items that need a permanent home the room is ready for some paint touch ups and baby furniture. I can't wait to start getting it together, we have been looking at bedding and found something that we agree on so I need to purchase it before one of us changes our mind!

Of course I still have to finish my autobiography and Shaun has to start his but since we still haven't heard from DCS I'd say we are in pretty good shape.
