Paperwork - a go

It's official, the paperwork has been pulled out the filling out has begun. We are working on all the minor fill in the blanks and also starting to compose our paragraphs of intend, our essays, and ask people about being our references.

In addition to that getting underway, we are in the final phases of the home renovations. Last weekend we worked on the dining room (just have some trim work to do). This weekend, we'll be working on the living room. After that all that's left is the kitchen (which is by no means a single day or weekend project) but after learning some more about the homestudy process we are not nearly as anxious about getting this done before we file the papers. By the Spring everything will be done! It'll be like having a whole new house without having to have moved. Too bad we couldn't paint on a second floor or an extra room. :)
