Our first major setback

Well, folks! I knew there would be at least one if not many, but we had our first major setback today. Our social worker received the report from the GBI (Georgia Bureau of Investigation) and unfortunately (no, neither of us have rap sheets!) Keith's prints came back unreadable. BUMMER!

So what does that mean? It sets us back at least 3 weeks because the home study cannot be submitted without the GBI police report, costs us another $15 and we have to find somewhere that does electronic printing to be on the safe side that this doesn't happen again. This is the start of the domino effect... delaying the home study 3 weeks, delays our USCIS approval by 3 weeks which, in turn, delays sending our paperwork to Russia. Can I get a big ol' "UGGGHHHH!!!"????

It's okay though, I'm taking it in stride - really am. As Keith would say "ain't nuttin' but a thang" :-) Such a wise man he is!

Mandy came over tonight and helped clean - it went surprisingly fast. All I need to do tomorrow morning is vacuum the kitchen, clean up any lingering dog slobber, light a bunch of candles so it over powers the eau d' dog and make my bed. Oh, and go disinfect Alex's room. Teenage boys SMELL!!!!!!

Well, I have to go finish up last minute home study paperwork for tomorrow. On a happy note, Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy are NEW tonight! Gotta love tivo! I'll post a little something tomorrow after the home study visit is complete. As long as she doesn't look in drawers, closets and under the bed, I think we'll be good to go! :-) :-)

Love to you all!

UUUGGGHHH! We redid our print for the ISBI, because nothing was going on and it had been quite awhile. A few weeks after sending the new prints, they were accepted and our clearance came through.
