So close I can feel it

Received a wonderful phone call today! It was from my social worker. All information has been submitted to her supervisor which means the next step is to the State of Ohio! She just needed 1 more paper from me and it is off to the races. Her exact words were "you are just days away! This is getting exciting!" Now due to our past issues with timelines I am not jumping for joy just yet. When that application comes back approved from the state I will be screaming from the roof tops! (And will finally share this blog with my facebook world!).

It is so close, I can feel it. Things are FINALLY starting to look up in life. Now if I could just find that husband it would be a trifecta of a week! LOL ;)

Foster Shower :)

Wow 2 posts in 2 days! Baby steps!! Back in May I was given the most amazing Foster Shower by 2 of my best friends. It was absolutely gorgeous. It included all of my closest friends and family.  Plus it gave me a reason to finally use one of those registry guns! Check out the pictures below of the amazing afternoon filled with so much love and support!!           Fisher's Foster Tree has begun!!! :) It's hanging in the hallway and we are ready for you kids!!! The door is open and I can't wait to meet you!! (neither can everyone else!)

The First "No"

It happened. I got a call. And then it broke my heart because I had to say no. The thoughts going through my head when that call came in was excitement and then heartbreak as there was another child who needed a home. As my social worker began to describe the living situation of the children (yes they were siblings and it was 2 sets that needed a home), my heart began to break. As the shock of their situation was wearing down off of me, the first set of siblings had found a foster home and I was not needed. As my social worker began describing the next set of siblings my heart sank. There was more of them then my home would allow. I have a crib and a twin bed, there was 4 of them over the age of 5.  Even if we split the kids up and did 2 in 1 home and 2 in another, I still did not have enough beds. It was so hard to say no, I can't take the kids. I didn't want to say no, but taking in 2 kids over the age of 5 with only 1 bed was no a feasible option. So now, I wait for anot
