We are over 1/2 way done!!!

Sorry I haven't written in over a month. We have been so busy with foster classes and getting the house ready. Matt and I celebrated our 4 year dateaversary. LOL, its way July 3rd which was the day we had our first date. Its so wonderful that he remembers it and is so romantic. I made him the cutest card with a turtle on it.

So classes are over 1/2 way done, we literally just finished number 6 and our now only 4 classes away till we are done. We finished our home study meetings and our wonderful home study writer has already turned it in for review. We are running way ahead and are so excited. She told us that she wishes we could teach a class to other families on how to get stuff done and be prepared. LOL, she thinks I am super organized. Which I guess I am more organized now then I used to be. You have to be super organized when you are getting ready to take in other peoples kids.

The house has taken the most change and work. We closed in one wall, opened another and painted everything. I have pictures to share. The picture on the left, is where we are closing in the **bonus room** from one of the bedrooms. Picture in middle in the whole we cut through to our room, so that this will be the new office. And the picture of the right is the new closet/sheet rocked walls in the office. We now only have one room in the house that still has paneling up.

We had carpet put down last Monday and we also have painted the walls. The walls in the kids rooms are the turquoise(the color we had painted office) and an orange. We found an awesome dresser at an antique mall that I painted and we put new hardware on for one room. I think it turned out super cute. We found bedding for each of the rooms and I think the hardest part was picking out bedding for a baby crib. We decided since we may never get to use it and the stuff is so expensive to just do cute sheets and an adorable blanket with a monkey on it. Cause well Matt loves monkeys!

My sister came over and we got the crib and bed set up in one room and we will be picking up the other bad hopefully this week. So excited to be so close to being done. That is pretty much the last thing we need to do. I will post the finished room pictures in the next few days I hope. Here is a preview of one of the rooms(Aleasa thinks the room is for her to come stay in when she visits).

I can't believe in little over a month we will have kids in our home and will be moving towards God's plan of our forever family! He is so amazing!!! Luv ya all!
