- Good adoption news! The first 2 couples (the pilot families) have had their court dates and all went well! They even had their 10 days waived. My coordinator said not to expect the 10 days to be waived in the future - it was a rarity and not expected. What does this mean for us?? In theory, it means that referrals should start moving! Our coordinator wasn't able to give us an exact time frame but she seemed hopeful that things will start trickling in and those waiting the longest should start seeing some action.
- Accreditation - no news yet! It sounds like our agency is in a good position to receive their accreditation certificate but so far.... nuttin'.
- I was in Las Vegas last week for work - first time there! It was... ummm... interesting! :-) I was there for 5 days which is a LOT of time in sin city. Two days would have been good. I learned how to play blackjack at a table ($5 table) and played a lot of video poker. It was fun spending time with some co-workers (not so fun to spend time with other co-workers) but I was very, very ready to be home!
- Mini-milestone #2 (or is it #3?) is coming up! Next weekend we head to Nashville for CHI's Pre-Adopt II class. I'm not sure what we're going to learn, but I'm sure it will be helpful regardless. I'll also get to meet some of my best blogging buddies! I'm going to need to dedicate a few scrapbook pages just for my visits with my blogging friends!
- My darling step-son has a girlfriend.... ugh... enough said. I'm not ready for this. Nope, nope, nope. Not at all. I promise I will let him play video games each and every night for hours and hours and hours if he would just go back to thinking girls are "icky". Let's just say I just ordered an audiobook on how to raise a teenager - when to say yes and how to say no. I need the "how to say no" part. Of course, if you ask him, all I ever say is no! Melissa, Adrienne, Carey and the rest of you with little boys... cherish the "girls are gross" part of your boys lives. The girlfriend thing is not easy. Now, if you got to hand pick the girlfriend......
- My 5 year anniversary is Friday! More on that on Friday.
- My cousin is due with her first child on Thursday!! Checking my email constantly for the good news!
That's about all I have the energy for... hope everyone is having a fabulous, fabulous week! It's only Monday kids... we have a long week ahead of us!
Hugs - Becky!

That's great news about Kras! I'm glad things are moving as they seem to be in several regions now. Sounds like you have a busy week with news about your cousin and your anninversary. We have one of those coming up too!! Get some sleep and as you said - it's only Monday , well, Tuesday now!!
I'm so happy to hear your news about your region. Wouldn't it be grand it the 10 days being waived was a trend that continued!? Congrats also on 5 years Friday! That is a milestone.
I was hoping for an awesome 'court date' kinda week. Got a call this morning that leveled those hopes. I keep reminding myself of God's sovreingty but this one is gonna be harder to stand back up after.
Maybe renting a bunch of guy movies like Ninja's, boxing, etc. and pointing out how girls are so not getting those cool movies would help realign your son on the guys only side??? Good luck on that one. I have a five year old who is confused on which of two little brothers at our church she will marry and the decision vexes her weekly. HELP!!!
How exciting that the families in Kras had successful court dates and are complete. One step closer to your little one!! We can't wait till next weekend.
YIKES! Girlfriends already. Hopefully I have a few years before that is the case. :)
Dr's visit went well. I'll tell you all about her tomorrow. I really liked her a lot and she is an a-mom (daughter is from guatamala). She gave me some good info and I took good notes.
That's great news about your region. Hopefully you will hear some good news in the very near future! I'm glad things went so well for the other families-sounds very promising!
