Still in the works:
Doctor's appointments on Wednesday for John and I, please pray these go well.
Self study (approximately 14 essay questions) - I am going to be working on mine Tuesday and Wednesday evening - please pray for me to have the right words and not stress over having the perfect answers. We are hoping that they will allow us to submit the application and still attend the pre-adoption class on Dec 11 without John's self study. He is in the midst of studying for finals so he will have to complete his after he takes his last final on the 11th. Please also pray for John's success on his finals.
I have been a terrible blogging friend, but as you can probably tell I have been keeping pretty busy. I am so looking forward to catching up with all of you very soon. Please forgive my lack of comments. I think of you all and pray for you often.

Becky, I LOVE your hair!! What a great picture of the three of you! =)
WOW!! What a TON of paperwork! I thought we had a lot for my immigration stuff, but that pales in comparison to this! Insane!
Exciting progress! Your home study is more in-depth than ours, probably because it's international. But I do clearly remember taking hubby out to Sonic on a rainy day and getting drinks, and listening to the rain POUR as we filled out our essay questions. Praying for you as you as you continue in your journey.
Wow, you have been busy for sure! I will be praying that your physicals go well and that the self study is a peaceful experience for you. My friends who are doing domestic just finished the self study and while it was also a challenge for them, they also remarked that they couldn't worry about whether their answers were "perfect" or not. I will be praying for you!
That's a great family picture! Your hair looks great! And wow, that's a ton of paperwork! And I thought the families I work with that adopt domestically had a lot of paperwork...it's nothing like that! Congrats for getting all of that done and I will be praying for you guys as you get through the essay questions!
Love the Family picture. Seems like forever since I have been on blogger, felt strange to update this week!
That is a lot of paperwork and I know paperwork, working for the County and all. Wow!
WoW Becky! I can't believe all that you have had to do......makes my head spin! Praise the Lord for His amazing grace to see you both through this. How exciting to think that some time soon you will have your baby! I will be praying for John and his finals.
That is amazing progress, Becky! Love the pic, too! Praying for you this week and in the coming days.
