Yesterday we received our home study - our last piece of the dossier puzzle! Yeah!!! Today I went to the state capital to certify the home study along with a few other documents for our dossier. It was my third trip there in the past year. Not a quick trip, either. But I was so excited. I drove an hour there, I gave them my papers, paid my money, and sat in the waiting room all smiles. They called me back a few minutes later and said, "There's something wrong with the notary you used...her stamp does not match the name she is registered under." I guess the stamp was supposed to have her middle initial, but because it doesn't, all 13 papers that she notarized need to be redone (and it's totally not her fault - just a random weird mistake.) Not a big deal in the huge scheme of things, but at the moment I was so mentally, emotionally, and even physically drained by this whole year-long paper chase, that I actually started bawling in the state index department's waiting room. I felt like such an idiot. Anyway, I drove back home, was able to redo about 6 of the papers which I'm thankful for, and now just need to see if my wonderful doctor can redo our medical forms just one more time (I feel like I've said that at least the past 3 times...Jill and Joni I am SOOOO SORRY!).
I know God is in control and there's a reason for everything, but right now, I just wanna go watch "Lost" and forget about stinky paperwork.

Isaiah 30:18. "Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you; and therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the Lord is a God of justice, blessed are all those who wait for Him." God is taking you on quite a journey! :) But remember that each step is growing you and exalting Him! love ya!
