The Wait is Almost Over

We found out we were certified yesterday.  We had been waiting for this day a long time...and now that its here, I'm actually a little scared!

Are we really ready?
Do we have everything?
How will I be able to get to work by 8am?
How will I do without sleep?
How do you keep a toddler in their bed?
Will I get too attached and then they will leave??

Just a few questions going through my mind since we found out we were certified.

We've been praying for years for us to have children.  Lately, our prayers have been that everything will go quickly and smoothly for us to be certified.  My prayers changed last night to praying for this poor sweet child who will come into our home.  I can't help but to be excited for them to come into our home, but the reason they have to come into our home is breaking my heart.  I am now praying that Heavenly Father will protect them until they can come to us.

I am also being a bit selfish and praying that we'll be able to get a long term placement.  We're so ready for our forever family. With that being said...we are having to prepare for these short term placements as well.

Tomorrow night our case worker is going to come over and we'll go over all last minute things and then Thursday we will be put on the list.  Keep us in your prayers...we're going to need the help! :)
