Willing Volunteers

June 26, 2005
This morning, we distributed the reference forms to our friends. They have all been calling over the past few weeks, wanting to know when they would get to be references for us! It's so nice to have such willing volunteers! We were apologetic, when we told people there was homework for them to do. It seems like such an inconvenience for other people to have to do work for our kid, but no one else seems to think so! They all expressed total excitement at being able to participate in our journey, telling us that they want to do whatever they can to walk alongside us. Before the evening was over, I received calls from two of the three people, letting me know that they had already completed the forms!

I am so surprised at the pace this journey is taking! Our references were informed that they had two weeks before they needed to return the forms, and they filled them out in less than a day!

This afternoon, I went to the store, and bought a few things to start "baby-proofing" our house, to get ready for the homestudy visit. So, I came home and ran around plugging all the electrical outlets with those little plastic plugs!

This evening, we sat down with a couple of pens, and our contract paperwork, and started signing all those blanks! Some of the forms need to be witnessed, so we'll do those later this week.
