1st Home Study Complete

We had our first Home Study today.  It went great and was way easier going and laid back than we anticipated.  Well, than Jenn anticipated, Brian was cool as a cucumber about the whole thing. (How can he always be so calm!?). We both ended the study feeling more confident than ever that this is exactly what God has planned for our family.  It's an amazing feeling to know without a doubt that this is the right thing, no wondering, no what-ifs, just pure trust in The Lord that he is leading us down the right path. A.Ma.Zing!  
We now have to do more paper work and apply for our background checks, be fingerprinted, all that fun stuff to make double sure we are  not criminals or illegal or anything.  I understand why it all has to be done, I do.  I totally get that we are talking about the livelihood and well being of a child. But all of this fingerprint and background business has me thinking, "wow, no one does this when you have a child the old fashion way.."  
Anyway, we were told that getting everything back and cleared could take 3-4 months, especially since we are having to do checks in Alabama and Georgia since we just moved.  So we ask that you pray for everything to go smoothly, be pushed through and go  without any problems.  We love you all!!!!
