Checking the list off!

Well we are making progress here!

Restored Doors and Windows on front of house-check! not us but the fabulous contractors!
Kitchen painted- check! two days but walls and cabinets look great
Fire Marshall inspection- check!
Water and Sewer inspection- check in about an hour!

Bio- NOT check- I am really struggling with this, I am half way through and stuck, I know it does not need to be flowery and they want the story of my life, but...it is not easy and it HAS to get done today! It is the deadline I have given myself we are turning it in tomorrow so today is my only choice!! But here I am creating a blog of nothing instead of focusing on it!

On another note, I want to buy something, anything that resembles us starting a family, but what would I buy, I am not sure how old or what sex our kids will be, but I feel like I need to have something to start feeling that "fun" part, I am thinking maybe books- no matter the ages they will need books, sweet fun books.   My mom has started knitting blankets she feels the same way I think!  She said she cant stop!!  I think I will have a suitcase full for the orphanage as well!!

I know today's blog is full of "nothing" but felt compelled to share my nothings!

house prep

In anticipation of expanding our family and because it just needs it, we are in the process of fixing up our house.  Just another thing to keep us busy! It is fun though to watch the progress as our house is over a 120 years old!  I am starting to realize all my decisions need to be based on the fact that hopefully in the next year we will have little ones running around, so looking more at cotton curtains, washable paint...not that we can't have nice things but want to be realistic as well! 

Paperwork will be done by Friday and the home study can start!  That is if the Dr.'s office can find my paperwork that they could not seem to find today...ugh...relying on other people with this process is not fun!  So tomorrow I get to track down there and not leave until they find it, should be fun!

Not much else happening in our world as we are in the holding pattern until the home study begins!
