Kid's Room

So we finally got the guest room completely turned into a kids room. In my opinion it looks AWESOME! We turned my old full-size bed into a twin bought a super cute comforter that is nice and neutral, we didn't really want to buy up any stuff until we know A. who we're getting and B. what their preferences/style is like. We also got a super cute dresser and night stand from Wal-Mart, I had a fun time putting those together, except for when I put the sides of the drawers on the wrong size and got frustrated when I couldn't figure out why the drawers weren't lining up!!! But here are some pictures of the final product!! And a picture of where all the stuff that used to be in the guest room that doesn't have a home yet ended up!!
Other than that we don't really have any news, got our informational packet from BCS the other day, it was filled with information that we already pretty much knew, but it did give us some more specifics on what they will be looking for in the home study. I was somewhat surprised by it, they look for a full medical history and recent physical, but won't deny someone with health problems. They look for a W-2's and recent tax filings, but won't deny someone based on low income as long as they show they can take care of another person. They look at housing, and age but again won't deny based on if you live in a house/apartment/trailer/whatever, and age they prefer 20's-45 but won't deny based on age either if you can show why. So yeah isn't it good to know they are making us jump through hoops to show them all this stuff but then say well it's great that you fit these certain criteria but if you don't we'll still take you anyways!
So we signed up for our informational meeting on the 5th of April, can't wait to go and fill out our application! We've been having a lot of fun letting everyone know about what we're doing, we had made sure we told family first and now we're pretty much telling people we meet on the street cause we're so excited. I've began volunteering with the Girls on the Run which is an AWESOME program for girls in 3rd thru 5th grade training them to run a 5k which culminates with a girls on the run 5k in 10 weeks. It's been super fun I have a really great group of 12 girls who are so much fun, and since the girl we're looking at adopting is a 9yr old girl I'm having a great time learning about 9 yr olds and they're having fun teaching me what's cool and such. It's awesome I really love it if you ever have a chance to work with Girls on the Run I highly recommend it!! Anyways that's all for today. Love you guys I'll keep you updated as we keep going.
