Wow! Where to start!

Yesterday we had our final homestudy at our house! I was up basically from 7am Saturday morning till Sunday night at 8:30. I did take a two hour nap but the rest of the time I was working on the house minus a 10 hour shift at Panera! Well after a long weekend Monday brought us the final homestudy! I wasnt as nervous this time around and I feel that we have been very lucky to have the case worker that we do! She has not only been pleasant and friendly but has become quite a blessing to both Abby and I!
She came at about 2:30 and stayed with us until 4 o'clock or so! We continued to receive many questions about our family and our marriage and then she did a walk through of our house! We are happy to inform each of you that we have passed our homestudy! Now of course its not official until we receive our paperwork in the mail but she said we were approved in every way possible without saying we are approved! I feel like I have lost a few pounds since this burden has been lifted!
Now it is time to start the dossier and even though it is a huge task to fill out this paperwork and get all the correct signatures and approvals we feel confident that the hardest part is behind us now! We so look forward to what the future holds and of course the arrival of our two children!
Please join me in prayer for our children, whomever and where ever they may be right now! Father I pray that you will watch over our kids even if they are not born yet! You know who they are! I pray that you will bless their families in hopes that they will care for them to the best of their abilities and if they cannot care for them I pray that you place them in a situation where they can be cared for! Prepare their tiny hearts for all the changes that are to come and our Lord! You are in control of this situation Father and we only hope to glorify you in it!

Amen!
