It's been too long

I know it's been a while since I've updated but things have been super hectic.

I made a decision to change jobs in the midst of everything going on. I am now an education assistant in a head start. The pay stinks but the hours are wonderful. Now I work days and Dave is on nights. This way when we get our miracle one of us will always be home. We figured this was the best plan instead of looking at childcare.

In actual adoption news we completed our homestudy and everything went well. We are licensed to foster for adoption in the state of Illinois. I was so worried about everything the entire time but the more time we spent with our wonderful social worker the easier things became. I seriously feel blessed to be working with her. She is making this process much less stressful.

Now we have to wait for her to finish our "book" about us and then we are officially in the waiting for the phone to ring phase. Aka the worst part of the whole damn process.

Since changing jobs we haven't been able to save as much money as we'd have liked so we are going to be doing a benefit fundraiser event soon and are hoping to get some money for that. We are also going to be starting a gofundme campaign.
