Happy Birthday to me....I turned 32 today, and it didn't hurt one bit!

We got our FBI clearances back...you'll all be pleased to know that we aren't hiding criminal pasts. The fingerprint card came back with a little note attached saying that we should turn our attention to the stamp on the back of the card which simply said "No Arrest Record". I was interested to see whether my juvenile arrest for curfew violation would come up since they check your juvenile record and any expunged records. Perhaps they didn't think that was anything worth mentioning. I think it is interesting that they check your juvenile and expunged records...this process is certainly thorough!

Hope you all had a loving Valentine's Day, hug yourselves for us :)

We have been busy, busy, busy! We both got our physicals - Jeremy's is completely done and I go back on Monday to get the results of my TB test. Also, I lost 20 pounds since I was at the doctor's office last time, and he was very pleased with me...but not nearly as pleased as I was with myself!! We also sent our FBI fingerprints out and Jeremy finished one of the two online classes he has yet to take. We have the first draft of our Dear Birthmother letter finished and are working on getting our house ready for the home visit. When we decide to get on the ball, we really move!

I'm also looking forward to my 32nd birthday in less than two weeks...I think this is going to be a great year :) Hope you are all staying warm!
