paperwork, paperwork, and more paperwork

our first home study went great. we love our oklahoma coordinator. she was incredibly encouraging and made us feel very comfortable. she left us with a ton of paperwork to do - everything from a physical to an autobiography. it became a little overwhelming when we received our packet of paperwork needed for our dossier that same day. but God in his wisdom has surrounded us with amazing family and friends that aren't just praying for us but are seeking us out "knowing" that we may need a little encouragement along the way.

so, we will be working very diligently on our paperwork [they call it the paper pregnancy] for the weeks that follow. we will also be finishing our last three home studies throughout the month of April and possibly into May. she did warn us that one time she did have to halt a home study so that the couples dog could go through obedience school, so be praying our dog Ty is on his best behavior when she comes over on her third visit [in two or three weeks]. i think casey is secretly praying Ty will be horrible and we will just have to get rid of him. he is willing to make that sacrifice for baby butler.
