Disneyland and Home Study Progress

Monday, October 12, 2015

Our family got back from Disneyland on Thursday.  We spent 4 days in the parks and stayed at a hotel just a block away.

We had a blast.  Meeting Micky Mouse, riding Tower of Terror and Indiana Jones.  I had a hard time not going full ride monster (I love roller coasters and want to do all the scariest ones a thousand times) and had to remind myself that my kids are still not ready for all the intensity of The Matterhorn or Space Mountain.  It was a great trip.

But I did keep thinking, through the entire time, that someone was missing.  And oh man, that was hard.  Wherever our future son is out there, I really, really wanted him there with us.

Justin and I kept talking the entire time about the next time we go to Disneyland as a family, and we're certain it will be with a third child.  We'll be driving next time.  We'll probably do fewer days in the park, and we'll be sure to hit the beach for a few days.  I can't wait to have him experience the trip with us.


Today I worked on a bunch of the home study stuff.  Gathering copies of important documents.  Filling out FBI fingerprint checks, criminal background stuff, etc.  As soon as Justin gets back from WA on Wednesday we'll go down and get our fingerprints done.  Then we'll mail all that stuff out and write a bunch of checks.

It sure was nice to see a bunch more stuff checked off on our list.  Getting closer, one baby step at a time!
