Patiently Waiting

Many of you have asked for an update on our foster care and I really don't have much.  We have finished all our training and our paperwork and are officially on the list for our home study.  There really hasn't been an indication of how long that will take.  I was told we would get a call last week or this week and it's almost Friday and still nothing.  So I'm guessing that it will be next week or the next. 

I think because for so long we were trying to cram in classes around our usually busy schedule and now that we have nothing to do but wait it's really hard. 

We have prayed that the home study would happen in Gods timing and so I am assuming that this waiting period is for a reason.

My understanding is, once we have our home study and once it is approved (assuming it will be) we will just need to get TB tests and then we will be on the list to get a child at any time.  Exciting!

Meanwhile I work on this.

My garden!  We are getting a little tired of eating zucchini so if you want some, let me know.

Also I'm looking forward to our super awesome family vacation at the end of the month.  We are going to the beach in Alabama.  It should be a great time of family bonding.  I mean, we are not staying in the same room, or even in the same building... and we are taking 100 other people with us... and Mike is riding on a bus with half of them all the way there. 

Yes, our big vacation is youth camp.  It probably won't be much of a vacation for Mike but Cason and I are looking forward to it :-)

I'll keep you posed on everything!  Thanks for wanting to stay in the loop and keeping us in your prayers.
