Waiting

We also got the last of the paperwork in for Health & Welfare.  Now waiting on both.  I was chatting with my MIL the other day, and she told me that she's hoping we get a call before the end of the year.  That's not much time if that does happen. 

I'm not too worried.  We've waited this long, I think we can handle a little bit longer.  I'm just glad all the paperwork is in.  That's a huge weight off our backs.

Cub Scouts is almost complete with leaders.  I'm excited bout that.  I was helping with all the dens, but now I'm just helping them when one of the leaders are sick or not able to go that particular night.  It's still fun being Cubmaster.  Those boys are so much fun.  I'll have to add pictures from Day Camp this past summer.  It was so much fun!

It's up!

Our profile is up and running on itsaboutlove.org!!  I'm so excited for this next chapter. 

We've also been getting closer to having the garage finished.  Walls are painted and most of the lights are up!  Just a few more electrical things in the third stall, and then no more drywall/paint dust!  My kitchen won't have footprints anymore leading from the garage.  Steve has worked so hard on it.

OH, and the quilt I've been working on with the Quilter's Coven, we've gotten the top finished and it's on its way to getting sewn together!

A funny thing happened the other day...

Monday I wasn't feeling so good, so I stayed home from work and slept just about all day.  Well, Steve called me to leet me know he was on his way home.  I got dinner started, and then I get another call from him.  The truck ran out of gas, on the freeway.  So, get some shoes, stop dinner and grab the gas can.  I stopped by Shell's to fill it up, and the stupid pump was being crazy.  I had used my pre-paid visa because it was what I had on me.  Well, I get going on the freeway, turn around from an exit and then stop behind Steve.  We get the truck enough gas to get to a gas station.

As I leave, I took the gas can with me, in the trunk of course!  Let me tell you something about Idaho drivers...  They have to slam on the breaks whenever they see a cop.   Because going the speed limit isn't good, they have to go 20 below the limit.  Needless to say, that day, it happened.  I slammed on the breaks, and heard the can go thump.  Within seconds the Kia smelled like gas.  Now, being sicky all day, this smell did not help. 

When I got home, I checked the balance on my card, $140 was gone.  That put me over the top, and I just started crying.  I couldn't stop, and when Steve got back to the house, he asked what was up.  So I told him.  Instead of making dinner, he took me out to eat. 

Now, when we got home, the windows on the Kia were down a little bit, like 2 inches and 1 inch.  Last night/this morning, it rained.  Not the sprinkle kind of rain.  But the kind that wakes you up in the middle of the night rain.  When I got outside to go to work, I had to come back in and get some towels for the seat...

I figured, ok it'll be fine, the sun will be out in full force anyways.  Nope, within an hour at work, maybe two, it was a downpour.  I ran outside to roll up the window...  Now I was soaked through.

BUT, the sun did come out.  All that's left is the gas smell, which will probably be there for a long while.

On a good note, we just are waiting to set up a home study!!!  So close to finishing our side of the adoption process.  Once that happens, we'll be "published" on the site, and our info will be given to Health and Welfare!

Well, Hello there!

LOL, yea, you could say it's been a while. But it's been a crazy while! So, instead of going on about the last two-ish years, I'll just start with this year! Steve and I are planning to adopt! We cannot have children the good 'ole fasion way, but that's not about to stop us. We've been getting the paperwork together for the past few months, and have now moved onto phase 2! So excited! But I didn't realize excatly how much paper work is involved!!!! Sunday was awesome though. Steve had asked if I could teach in Gospel Principles (he's the Sunday School 1st Counsler) and I did. But then as I was chatting with some friends, Steve came up to me and said that Julie had a present for me. I wasn't excatly sure why Julie would have a present for me, then it dawned on me. I would get to hold Madeline!! Her little girl! I practically ran down the hall at church and found her. Julie said that she'd been trying to get Madeline to sleep. I told her it wouldn't be all that hard for me! ;) I managed to keep Madeline asleep for 30 mins, but quiet for all of Relief Society! Right now, I'm working on making a ton of HST (half square triangles) for a quilter's exchange. I've done about 140 now. And we're also making a baby blanket for a gal in our group who is due this summer. I've been working at Challenger Schools for the last two years, which has been awesome. I love being around those kiddos! They are so stinking cute! Well, that's it for now, I will be writing more later, espically as kids really do say the darnest things! :)
