Scattered

Hellllooooo! I don't really have anything to say since nothing is really happening, but I thought I'd post to say there's nothing really happening. We were hoping to have the home study visit done by now and then our social worker would have it written up and sent to our adoption agency by the end of this month, but unfortunately due to things within and without of our control we couldn't schedule the visit until the 28th of this month. But it is happening. It's on our calendar, and we're still finishing up the last few things (medical exams/TB tests) and then we'll just be waiting around for the last Saturday to arrive. Time has been moving pretty quickly with the kids going back to school and all the other daily activities, so I haven't even had time to wish our visit day to come quickly. Plus, my house is a DISASTER, so I have more time to get that all beautified--or to sit around thinking of all that it will take to get it beautified. Any volunteers to come find a way to keep my kids' rooms and living room/playroom organized? Maybe a drill sergeant to whip them (and me) into shape would be better.
And since I'm making updates on the usual adoption waiting stuff, our t-shirts did come in the other day but were definitely messed up enough that we had to call and request them to reprint the order correctly. We have to drive out to Keller next Monday to get it all sorted out and hopefully have the shirts printed and sent back to us within the next couple weeks. Sorry if you've ordered one--I promise we didn't just steal your money and run off to Hawaii...although I think I just heard Kyle say, "wait, can we do that?" Kidding--we know our little one is twenty times more beautiful than Hawaii...and relaxing...?

Now some fun, good news--a friend from college (hi Julie!) left me a comment on my last post saying she found my blog through my pin on Pinterest about Kyle's book, and wanted me to pray for her and her husband about maybe becoming foster parents. I was sooo excited to hear this because even though I haven't talked to either one of them in years, they are still a couple of the funniest, nicest, most wonderful people I've ever met. They would be amazing foster parents and I'm so thankful they're praying about this! Then, my best friend from college (hi Michelle!) called the next day and told me to come meet with her so she could tell me about their plans on fostering/fostering to adopt. This coming from the girl who said she never wanted kids (she was lying, I knew she'd have lots), and now has three boys and no real plans of being an official empty nester. She and Jason are amazing parents (and people!) so another one or ten kids in their home will be a definite blessing. AND THEN, without either one of these couples talking to each other, they walked into their first fostering class and ran into each other. BEAUTIFUL! I'm planning on making them both attend a foster/adoption conference with me in October and any other meetings/activities Tapestry has that we can go to together. I know there's a couple other people who may be interested in the conference, even if you're not going through the adoption process right now, so check it out and plan to go with Kyle and me--it's free!!

(Ha--this is me not having anything to say)
