Today was a busy day! I forgot to mention the end of yesterday! We left the seminar at 7:30 and headed home. I read a book for a couple hours while Ray drove. Finally by about 10:30 we were both so tired that we pulled off the road for a 30 minute rest. I tell you, the last two hours was the longest! We are going away to see our big boys next weekend and were going to do it there and back in one day, but now I am thinking we probably won't! They are about four hours from here and after we spend time with them we will be too tired to drive home, I think!
After I finally got rolling this late morning, I pulled out my paperwork from the seminar and began...
I began by filling in all the references - pastor, employers, four friends, family x 2. Then I had to gather all the financial information again. This is always a bit more complicated because we are self employed and I am the accountant! So it is not like we can ask our accountant to verify the numbers! There was the marriage certificate to copy and a photo of Ray and I to attach. It is a good thing we have a photocopier!
Then Ray told his family today and that was good news. His dad seemed happy at the thought of finally getting a granddaughter. That was news to warm our hearts! Of course, we realize people will have different points of view, but we really want our families to embrace what we are doing and the child that results from all this effort!
Tuesday, we get to go for our doctor's physical and all the pokes and jabs, chest xrays, you name it!! They want to be sure we are in top shape!
Then we begin waiting again for the next piece of work, so in the meantime I will be painting our oldest boy's room! He will come home from camp to a new room. :o)
