I'm Thankful...

I don't know if many of you get on facebook, but the trend recently as Thanksgiving is coming up is to name things you are thankful for.  I haven't been participating on there but I have read what some of my friends are thankful for and I've thought about some of my own.

This morning, on Veteran's Day, I'm off work and am very thankful for that!  On a serious note, I'm thankful for those who have served our country and those currently serving.  My path has crossed some amazing people in the past couple years that are serving in the military and their incredible families.  It's a courageous and self-less act and to you all I say THANK YOU!

On the adoption side....I've had a break in the paperwork since our home study wrapped up in the summer.  We are currently working on filling out ONE form that needs to be submitted to USCIS and for some reason it's been more challenging than expected.  There are a lot of important questions on this form and I don't want to mess up!  I mentioned a couple in church that I met last week that has adopted a little boy and is now in the processess of adopting a little girl.  This morning, I'm thankful for Keela!!  The names of forms and the adoption lingo are pretty foreign to most people so having someone to walk me through some of this is incredibly appreciated.  I'm a detail oriented person so I have a tendence to ask a lot of questions and pick things a part.  Thank you Keela for your patience!

We need to get some documents together but I hope to get this form mailed off this week.  At that point, we'll wait for the approval and then get an appointment date and time in the mail.  Then we'll travel to get fingerprints done.
