Mail Stalker

Patience is a virtue I just don't have lately.

I feel like we've been waiting on the official home study approval from our agency for years. We were pushed back a few weeks because they wanted us to finish our educational courses before we were considered approved, even though our home study has been approved for a month now. That requirement was completed 6 days ago and I assumed we would have gotten our approval in the mail by now.

I've become a mail stalker, checking the mail box several times a day hoping it will be there. Nothing. There was even 3 days in a row where we didn't get any mail, so I had hope that the mail carrier had a freak accident and didn't stop by our house and would eventually come running up the driveway, ring the doorbell and hand me "the" letter. She would have some crazy story that the neighbor's dog grabbed the letter out of her hand and she's been chasing it around over the weekend, but yet the letter wouldn't have a scratch on it. I like for my daydreams to have a happy ending.

Maybe if I write a blog entry about it, it will show up tomorrow.


***Note to future self. The letter will arrive and when it does, go back and read this entry and see what an impatient dork you were. Love you!
