Happy Friday!

Homestudy is almost complete...we've turned in ALLLLLLL of our paperwork...we have one more meeting on Tuesday and then...our portion is finished!!! So we will be ready to show our profile...actually we got a call yesterday...and our profile might be seen by a birthmom very soon...she is due with a little girl in May...so time to make a little girlie quilt...yeah...if the situation doesn't work out for us...I have pregnant friends and cousins...this quilt will have a good home if it doesn't stay with us.

And I am going paint on the last coat shellac in this wardrobe to the nursery...did i mention it was FREE!!! At Jake's parent's church yardsale back in December...I saw this wardrobe outside...falling apart...I said "who's is this?"...they lady in charge said..."You want that?" (like who else in their right mind would)...I said "I sure do...I'll fix it up and put it in our nursery" She said "well you can have it" Jake rolled his eyes...he doesn't see things like I do...he can't picture it after a little TLC. Hubs is impressed with how well she looks...

Can't wait to put it in the nursery tomorrow!
