We're knee-deep in application paperwork.  Is it odd that I'm happy to be filling in mine and Eric's social security numbers over and over?!  This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what is coming with the homestudy, but it's a start.  It just feels really good to have a plan, and be acting on it.

We've started telling a few people here and there about our plans.  So far, people have been taking the news really well.  Not that I expected anything different, but it's good to get the initial awkwardness behind us.  The more we talk about it, the more excited we get.

We're hoping to finish up all of the application stuff by the end of next week.  Then it will take some processing time, and once our employment verifications and references are back we can start moving on to the home study!
