[I wrote this last night forgot to publish it]
Well last night I attempted to stay up all night and wait for David to get off work so I could maybe get some packing done and then go to sleep with him when he comes home. Well I am definitely not as young as I used to be. I made it to 3am and passed out (That was even after a Red Bull.)
Tonight we went to our first foster parent orientation meeting. It went well I think. It started off a little slow but by the end everyone was making jokes and laughing. There were four couples including us and one single lady. We basically went over a giant folder full of papers and forms that was handed out. I'm a little nervous because we each have to write a four page autobiography. EEK! I don't mind writing at all its just the writing about MY life I'm not so crazy about. Ive always been insecure about my achievements in life or lack thereof and I really think the devil is trying to to play on that with this assignment. David on the other hand almost seem excited about it. I'm glad one of us is. We also went over the requirements of our home study. We still have lots of things to do like vaccinations for kitty, inspections, smoke detectors, child proofing, ect. and with Davids schedual this may be a long drawn out process. What keeps going through my head is "If God sees you to it than He'll see you through it." Which I know is true. God lead us up to his piont so I have faith that he will help us through this.

House, Nightshift and Orientation
Well now that we have a new house we've been working our butts off to make it nice. The previous owner left quite a mess. I was tole by them that they didn't like to clean and there is definitely evidence of that! We have been in a worlewind of cleaning, painting, refinishing cabinets and floors. David was supposed to be off on vacation but they called him yesterday and told him that if he wanted a promotion then he could start tonight. Ugh! Its a blessing but at the same time a curse. On one hand its a promotion which means he will now be out of the elements and get to sit in a truck all day and tell people what to do (he works in the oil field) but at the same time hes starting off working nights : (. That will definitely slow down out moving process. One good thing though is that tomorrow night will be our first orientation meeting for being foster parents and they let him off work to go! Yay! Were excited but at the same time a little nervous. I will definitely up date you on how it goes. The orientation is with Bair agency. We had researched several but this is the only meeting that we have been able to go to so were hoping that its a God thing and that this one is the right one for us.
