We accepted the job in Charleston. We're moving to SC! And, we have three weeks to do it; he starts work on the 9th of July. *gaaaaaaaaaahhhh!*

(In case it's not been clear, the adoption's kinda been on hold until we figure out what's going on.)

April 21, 2007: The Day the Plans Changed

For those of you who do not yet know, all telecommuting positions at Bio-Logic were terminated yesterday at noon, without warning. So Lanse is job-hunting, as will I be after school in June. We will also be trying to figure out what to do with the fact that the company owns (and wants back) nearly all of his computer stuff, including what he's been using for his personal computer, and we haven't budgeted for our land line or our cable modem. Pick an emotion, I've felt it in the last 24 hours. Even some happy ones. But right now I'm depressed, and trying to plan a responsible dinner when all that sounds good is drowning in cheetos.

-- We met a laywer yesterday to get our will done. He kinda skeeved me out, but I don't know if it's cuz he's actually skeevy, or if it's just cuz he's a laywer. *heh*
-- We have to do one more (new) fingerprinting card, and our bloodwork. We're sick again, so now the bloodwork is legitimately on hold, instead of all those months when we just forgot. *frustrated sigh* When the will is done, we schedule our last meeting, and VIOLA! (viola? of course! music always has a place!) We just wait around to be approved, and we can get on with the having kids thing.

Well, it's December now, after Christmas (it was good!). In between now and the last post, our bathroom was redecorated and made non-moldy and safe for the inspection. Yay!

In other news, we just put our almost-last packet of stuff in the mail for Bethany. Ooooh. We finally hauled ourselves in to the police station to be fingerprinted like common... adopting parents. *hee* So those, and a bunch of other things are going in today. Yay!

Second Adoption Meeting

Well, it seems to have gone well. We arrived at 8:00, and didn't leave until after 12:00. Last meeting was a few hours of writing paperwork; this meeting was all interview questions about our families and past and who we are and things. Lanse found it to be really draining, but we were both surprised at how it really didn't get horribly deep. It also appears that we've combined sessions; during our first meeting she did all of the meeting 1 stuff, and half of the meeting 2 stuff. This time we did the rest of meeting 2 stuff and all of meeting 3. So we only have one more meeting, which will take place here at our house when all the rest of our paperwork and stuff is done. That can't finish up until I'm healthy, (for those of you out of the know, I have pneumonia again), because medical tests are part of it.

The next biggest thing to do (besides bloodwork and fingerprinting) is prepping the house for her inspection. Aside from a good deep clean, I'd like to strip the wallpaper in the bathroom and clean the walls. Anyway, I guess that's the news at this point. Thanks so much for your prayers! Please keep on praying. She's going to be emailing us websites with photolistings so we can get started on screening through kids! Pray that we'll have overflowing discernment and not fall in love with every needy face we see. :)
