One more item off the list

Yep - ONE more item down - we had to get 6 - yes 6 passport pictures each to send to the agency - not exactly sure that they are for - but they are for something.  so we were able to get them done at the local AAA branch - and you can get 2 sets for free - well we needed 3 sets - it was our lucky day and she couldn't get the system to work right - so they were all free!  Not that the $16 would be huge - but it is still a nice day when  you get something free.

I liked these pics a lot better then the one actually in my passport - but that is entertaining to show people how much weight I've lost in like 5 years - pretty dang amazing!

So my goal tomorrow is to see if I can scan in all the paper work and send it over to the agency and just wait for the USCIS paperwork - with the holidays not expecting too much.  Once they approve it - I have to deal with the "great seal" -and there is one in Livonia!  YES - that will be HUGE to help do that - they confirm the notarized forms I guess.

the other news -started painting Nate's new bedroom yesterday - thanks to Uncle Marcus (My brother) and his girlfriend Stacie - almost done - one more coat and then paint the bottom half of one wall tan.  we are doing a Sponge Bob theme that he wanted - and he can't wait to find out if he'll have a brother or sister - then we can start on their room next year!  If its young - they will have the same dolphin / sea theme that Nate had - minus the gorgeous mural my cousin Kyle painted for Nate.  Its exciting a LOT going on - but worth it all -

I keep reading other blogs and stories and its just amazing - soon we will have a little one home.  I saw two kids at The Henry Ford today - and think they were adopted - not sure if they are ET children or not -but so beautiful  their mom and grandma (I assume) probably thought I was crazy just smiling at them - and a little daydreaming that our child may look similar to them soon!  Such beautiful kids - I can't wait.

alright - I should go - trying to catch up on my yahoo group emails - never easy - I did delete over 100 last night - yeah
