Big Day Tomorrow!

Well, tomorrow is a very big day for Tim and I. It's our first interview with the adoption agency. Yikes and yeah! We need to be at their offices by 10 a.m. for our interview which will probably be about 2 hours. I'm very excited to be taking such a big step forward in our adoption process and nervous as first steps, I think, are always a bit scary. I've been busy working on all the paperwork we'll need. Reference letter forms have been sent out. Thank you!! to those of you who are so kind to write these important letters to us. Oh, the stories I hope they don't include! :-) I've also been working on background checks. We need a FBI one, a state one and one for each county we've lived in for the last 5 years. For me, that means I had to contact 4 different county offices to gather all mine. Whew... I lived in MI 5 years ago and then moved to one county in GA. I then moved to a different county when Tim and I got married and now to Hamilton County in IN. I got all the info gathered, letters written and requests sent out. Now to work on all the other paperwork while I wait for those things. There certainly is a ton of it but at least I know it won't give me stretch marks when we're done. :-) A definate plus to adopting over pregnancy!
Tim and I had a blast over the weekend when we went to MI to help a friend...hi Kimmer!....celebrate his 50th Bday. A gathering with my community theater friends is never a dull moment and includes lots of singing, hamming and belly laughs. Sunday was a perfect day for sledding and we zoomed down the hill and kerplunked up the hill. Definately good exercise! The 4 hour drive home Sunday though was very long thanks to a Dottie dog who ate something she shouldn't have and had such bad gas...man...ugh! Monday she slept all day and recovered from her weekend. She's feeling much better today though. A very fun weekend with lots of good memories gathered.
