Well, today in the mail I got the home study. I was really starting to believe that it would just never happen, that somehow we got stuck in Home Study limbo and were never going to get back out. I mean, when you accidentally get trapped in a black hole (you know, because you're time travelling and you take a wrong turn or something equally as disasterous) how do you get back out???
But anyway, two lovely, beautiful notarized copies of the world's most anticipated Home Study Assessment sit on my desk before me. I feel like this is a major accomplishment in my life. Yes, feel free to congratulate us, because we actually managed to Complete The Home Study, a task which seemed simple at the beginning but was much more complex than ever imagined. I will now get Very Serious about getting the various seals from the various states (only two in our case). And once the seals are in place, we just wait for word from the USCIS and get the fingerprints done and wait for our last little piece of paper. What a great day!
Thank you Joe, the mailman, for coming through for us again today. We love you, and the entire United States Postal Service, while we are at it.
Posted by grrlTravels at August 24, 2004 2:29 PMCongratulations, my dear sister. Now you can be on your merry way once again. I know you are anxious, but just enjoy the one on one time with Eli. And from the mother of one who talks incessantly, enjoy the peace and quiet. It won't last forever. God has blessed you with an amazing little boy. Hopefully the next time we all meet on LBI, Eli will have an amazing sister. (By the way, I made it through the first day of school without shedding a tear. Maybe I've used up my yearly tear allotment.)
