I want to bring home my baby!!!!!!!! I want to bring home Addy!!!!!!!!!! We are ready for her to come home. I feel a little better now.

It's been a long time since I have posted on my blog! I guess I haven't been in the mood. I have been super busy. But- I do have some things to tell everyone about today. So much I don't even know where to start. I guess I'll start with the adoption.
Referals came out on Friday. It's actually pretty depressing for everyone who did not get theirs. CCAA only did nine days this time. That puts the wait up to almost 14 months now. Which means we would not recieve our referal until May- Hmmmmm?!?! I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for March though. I talked to my social worker last week. She called to say our homestudy was going to expire in October. We should probably get started on everything we need to do, to update it. We already starting to shell out more money. I knew it was going to happen, but I didn't think it was so soon. Oh well what can you do? By the time we get our referal we will also have to redo our I 600 A, so we can get a new 171-H, and probably redo our prints twice.
Tomorrow is Ivy's first day of school! I now have a first grader. She is really excited about going. Her teachers name is Mrs. Morris, and she has got a few girls in her class that she was with in kindergarten, though not as many as she would like. I'm fine with that, she can make some new friends to, it's good for her. She's all stressed about what to wear tomorrow. She doesn't want to wear her favorite new outfit because it's only a 1/2 day. Ya- she is only six, what is she going to be like at 16. I am in trouble!
Saturday was my last day of work. I have been at Expressions for 16 years! It was so sad to leave. I know I made the right choice, but I will really miss it. I'm glad to have a more flexible schedule to do things with Ivy(school, soccer, brownies) and I'm still going to do some hair at home for some extra money. When Addy comes home it will be a whole new game. I know I am in for wake-up call then. Ivy is so easy now. Thats o.k. I am for it and ready!
This enogh for now- I promise I'm going to be better at updating my blog!!

Hi- Adoption news first- referrals have come out.They still have not gotten very far. The wait just gets longer and longer. Honestly I'm little tired of it.
