Baby Blitz!

Just wanted to give you a quick update of what we've been up to in the past couple of days...

not much :o)

We're just waiting to hear from Bethany if our formal app was approved or not. I thought this would be a quick thing, but a friend told me it took a couple of weeks for them to hear back. We had great plans for this Wed-Fri while Derek was off to accomplish as much of the home study referrals and paperwork as we could, but until we hear back from Bethany we're on hold. No biggie! We know that there is nothing we can do to mess up God's timing, so we'll just enjoy the ride (I'm reminding myself of that as I type).

As you know, I'm kind of a "project completer" (stalker), so I emailed the wonderful staff of Bethany and got an email back that same day saying that she would try to get our approval done today or tomorrow. Holy smokes, Batman! We still might be able to get some home study things done in the next couple of days.

While we patiently wait to hear from them (checking our emails every 10 minutes), this is what we'll be doing:
Cleaning the gutters (actually I'm hoping this could be a Derek thing and I'll just complement him on how good his butt looks from the ground)
Selling action figures (take two!)
Have an electrician fix the light in the nursery
Create mission letters (these are the letters that you'll be receiving soon announcing our big news!)
Hiking (great stress reliever)
Picking strawberries with some people we love (hopefully pics will follow)
Finish up some title work on a car we sold (gurlfriend......don't get me started)
Attempt to clean up the office

Now, how many of these things actually gets done is another story......or should I say blog entry?
