Ok we can breathe now!!!

So we went through our classes and the next day I got an email from our licensor saying she will be on medical leave and someone will be contacting us to set up our time to get licensed. Well maybe 2 hrs later she called and I set up a time and told Michael! Well michael is my voice of reason he said there is no way we can get it done by then! Soooo we rescheduled to the 29th. Our second room was our catch all room and it needed to be cleaned out so everyday after work I would clean little by little. We also had to get things! One of my friends started a fb page and got people to donate stuff for us which was so amazing!! Then another friend asked her ward members to donate as well! So we didn't really have to buy too much. Luckily there is ksl I purchased a crib on there and some bedding. Then I decided to take this wk off from doing hair to get things cleaned and clean our carpets! My hubby is fabulous and let me hire someone to do some deep cleaning while I did the little things. Once they left I picked up the carpet cleaner and my parents came over to bring a bed for us so we didn't have to make another big purchase right away. So wed night my sis in law was amazing and did us a huge favor and installed some door locks for us. She's so handy!!!!! Then Thursday me and the hubby cleaned and did some more straightening up and waited for the licensor to come. She measured our room and we can only have one child it needs to be 120sq ft and ours is 110 seriously 10 ft is keeping us from having two kids! There are two sometimes three kids in these rooms!! Oh well I should be grateful for having one kid!! So she came checked out our place and asked us a ton of questions! Well we passed!!!! She is inputting our info today and Tuesday's is when the caseworkers get together and go over new foster parents and we will get our own caseworker and we will ask a bunch more questions and then maybe by the end of april we will have a kid!!!!!

We have such wonderful frinds and family!!!

So I posted a little note on facebook asking if anyone had one of those 4-in-1 crib beds for $100 or cheaper. One of my friends said she had a booster seat she could give us which was fabulous!!! Cause we need to have car seats and a bed or crib to get licensed. Then i started texting my wonderful friend Megan and was telling her how I wasfreaking out about all the stuff I have to get. She suggested starting a page to get all our friends and family to donate toys clothes, andother things. So far wehave some toys a high chair and a couple of other things. Oh did I mention my friend Megan is giving us her car seat stroller combo!!!! Which is fabulous cause those are expensive. I can't believe how generous people are!!

Finished our classes

So I haven't been on for a couple of weeks, but we have finished ou classes. The last class was my hubby's favorite cause we talked about cultures and traditions. We had our little graduation and the next day I heard from our licensor!!!!! AAAUUUGGGHHHHH!!!! I want to hurry and get these kids , but my hubby has the voice of reason!!! He said there is no way can get our house ready in 2 weeks!!! WAH! BUT it's true. I have tried a little bit everyday to clean a little area of our little condo, but we have so much crap that we have accumilated and we I haven't used our space that we have very well. So the pressure has begun. Yesterday I took church off (which I shouldn't have)!!! and organized our laundry room again and started cleaning our room which I shouldn't say I started yesterday cause I hadn't I have been working little by little! BUT I did deep cleaning!! It was sooo beautiful and warm I guess you could say I was spring cleaning.
For the past three years I have been wanting to turn our mattress over well I finally did!!! OH MY GOSH!!! Never repeat never move a king size bed by yourself!!! I think I died more than once yesterday!! So since I have several paintings I painted in my youth I have no space for them so I decided to put them under the bed so that means you have to clean under the bed!!!! DOUBLE OH MY GOSH!!! I am so surprised I didn't have a major asthma attack! I have never seen so many dust bunnies and magazines from when we were first married. Well I did it I cleaned that sucker and flipped my bed and today I am going to swicth our unmatching nightstands since it works better for the area. then hopefully we can move some extra things that we have in our second bedroom into our bedroom.
On that note the second bedroom I think I have found the colors I want to paint!! Now I am brave enough to do it aauugghhh! LOL let me just chek out one more color that I found the swatch to underneath our bed yesterday!! LOL
