Application Part 2 is HERE!

So to most of you this might not sound that exciting but I have been waiting on this since the Friday before last.  Because of the holiday weekend, people being on vacations and the extent of what the application entails/being put together for us specifically it took longer than usual.  I had to go through it and start making piles and lists and a plan of attack. 
This 2nd application includes much of what the home study will require so we will be starting to ask for our references, do our parent education classes (online, in person and via reading books), compile our birth certificates and marriage license, have our physicals to be signed off on, write our autobiographies, go through the checklist of health concerns of the future child, bank statements, tax stuff...oh the list goes on :)  We do already have our birth certificates, marriage license, passports and much of what is needed so that makes me feel slightly less overwhelmed but I'm sure that feeling won't last long.

This sounds and seems exhausting but I cannot wait to start getting the list checked off and sent it.  Once they have everything and we are approved, we will begin the home study which is also through Dillon.  So I know what our weeknights and this upcoming weekend will be full of....Lots Of FUN!!! (my husband may say otherwise but checking off lists and organizing is definitely my fun!)
