A busy week at home means a not-so-busy week on the blog! I apologize for allowing things to become a little dusty these past few days. We have lots to report, though, so relax and keep reading.
First, our 5 for Hope Facebook group has grown to 103 members! Holly B. became the 100th to join us.
Second, the equivalent of 5 more people joined our 4,000 taking us to the equivalent of 315 people! Wow! Only 3,685 more people to meet our goal.
Third, we closed on a home equity line of credit Saturday and will make our first draw on it Thursday. With this first disbursement, we will pay our dossier preparation fee with the agency and move toward receiving our official referral of M3.
Fourth, our second home study appointment will occur sometime this week. The great thing is I was able to collect the medical forms for the girls and I on Friday. My doctor filled out my form while I waited and then brought it to the waiting room to hand deliver it. He congratulated me on our family's big news. I really love my doctor. The girls' pediatrician also completed the form super fast. I can pick it up tomorrow or Tuesday...whichever day I visit with M2 to have her cough evaluated.
Fifth, we have assigned the job of writing the reference letter that must come from a family member to my sister-in-law. She was very pleased to take on the homework.
In other news, Brian and I attended a military ball last night. Our family readiness group leader is very excited about our adoption. She shared with us that she had told her mother in Michigan about our plans and that her mom has been telling the prayer chains to keep us on the list. If you're visiting our site from Michigan, "Hi!"
We promise not to let so many days pass between our updates again!
Sounds like things are moving along nicely!!!
