I Heart UPS!

UPS ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And so do the KY and VA state certification offices! I overnighted our papers to each of these states on Saturday. They arrived in the State offices Monday and they were apparently sent back out by Monday afternoon bc they both arrived on my front porch today! I went back to UPS today to overnight another package and the UPS guy asked, "did your other docs already make it back?"
"Yes," I said with glee.
"D*** that was fast," he muttered.
See - even the UPS employee was impressed! Seriously, when we did all this for the China adoption it never went this fast. The only thing moving slow is the home study process and that's both because they require us to finish all hs paperwork before our first meeting and because of our traveling schedule. But hopefully once the visits start that will go quickly as well.
This is kind of fun. I'm in a race against time to see how fast this can get done. My type A self is enjoying the rush way too much!

Our notarized life insurance proof arrived today as well. And we sent off our marriage cert and my birth cert for SC State certification (by UPS, of course!) today too!

Things left to do: home study visits, paper for social worker to sign, 1 reference letter, 171H and fingerprints, along with TX State certifications. Small items to finish include - passport size photos and one more page for family photos - oh, and Billy needs to sign his passport and I have to make copies of it. I keep forgetting about that one.

We're still in Cuero, TX for an event. We drove home today to pick up our packages and then drove all the way back. Tomorrow is our last day and we'll drive home tomorrow night and sleep in our own wonderful beds! Yippee!
