Yesterday we were able to accomplish 2 big things with NO complications! Wow! We went and had our fingerprints taken and sent off to somewhere so that we can receive our police clearance. We had to go to a gun store to do it so now Jody is really wanting a gun and some kind of course to go with it. I managed to get him out of there without a purchase which was good. Also next door was a new Crossfit gym. Jody wanted to check it out and was convinced that he needed a membership when we left. They say that a good salesman is an easy sale and that is so true! It was a pretty cool program that someday he might try, but not while we are saving money for our daughter’s adoption. If I wasn’t there, Jody could have come home with a new gun, signed up for some kind of gun class, and signed up for a year membership at Crossfit (because of course a year membership is a significant discount compared to the monthly rate ). Good thing he wasn’t alone! Anyway, the fingerprinting was a super easy process and one of the less expensive – $50. Later, we both had our medical exams with our Dr. and friend Jason Nelson. It was easy and we are fasting this morning so we can go back and get our blood work today. There are some test they require for the adoption and they are also going to check our cholesterol. We decided that we have been eating terrible so we are going back to our “Eat to Live” eating (great book by the way) and then we will check our cholesterol again and see if it has improved.
Another accomplishment – after hours and hours of trying to figure it out, I can now scan documents to my computer! Yay! I needed to do this so I can email all of our documents to our adoption consultant so that she can check them before we have them notarized.
