Anyway...I don't have much in the way of news to report from this end. We hit our One Year mark last week without fanfare. The occasion was marked by receiving another mini-packet of forms to fill out for our agency (updated background checks, health report forms, and a request for updated proof of home/auto insurance) and an email from our caseworker informing us that it's time for another review. Yay!
So we wait, and we wait. And we pray. Actually, I was talking about "the wait" with DS the other morning while driving him to school. I was wondering if this is something he thinks about every day...I know I do, and I'm pretty sure DH does, but I can imagine how it might not be at the forefront of a busy high school sophomore's mind. He pretty much confirmed that for me. I guess I would've been more surprised if he told me it was something he thought about every day.
I had a "moment" yesterday... I'm way past the point now where my heart skips a beat when the phone rings, although if the number shows up on the Caller ID as "unknown" or "private", it might skip a quarter beat or two. Likewise if it shows up as a number within our state but either unknown or one I don't recognize. Well, yesterday we got a call that was identified only as being from the city where our caseworker's office is located...which is rather unusual for us. My heart did skip a beat or two, and for a few looooong seconds I was convinced that there was no one else on earth who would be calling us from that city.
I'm sure you've figured out by now that there was, in fact, someone else on earth from that city who would've been calling us. Most disappointing phone call, EVER. Sigh...and back to the waiting game.
Well, I hope this is enough of an update, because I don't feel like I can stretch "nothing" out much longer right now. Marching band season is upon us, and I wanted to get an update posted here before the whirlwind hits. I hope I have exciting news to post soon...
