Home Study Part 1 Completed

We had our home visit today!  I have to admit that I was pretty nervous and unsure of what else I could do to get ready.  I've heard other people say that it wasn't a white glove check, but it never hurts to get rid of the dust bunnies and cobwebs!  It also helps to keep the hands busy.  My house was as close to spotless as it has ever been.  


Our visit lasted 1 hour 45 minutes.  We hit it off with our social worker right away with sharing stories and cracking jokes.  We answered a lot of questions about our families, home, and neighborhood.  I was the most nervous when he asked questions of Scott alone.  I wanted to know what he was asking so I could think about my answers.  It was totally fine.  After I answered questions about my family, we took him on a tour of our home.  We opened all the doors, and he peeked in.  I was ready for him to look closely at baseboards and carpets, but he didn't.  At the end, he told us that we have a very nice home.  There wasn't anything that we needed to improve.  He said he'll try to get the home study completed within the next two weeks which seems to be quick according to what I've read online and other resources.  We have one or two more phone call visits, but the first big hurdle is over!  


We are so relieved and elated!  After the home study, we just went out to lunch and a day of shopping and hanging out with family and friends.  It was a fabulous day even though the sun only came out for a few hours!
