Schedules, Graduation & Adoption

We are both now registered for classes for fall semester, Joe is finally signed up for his IBC Business courses & he'll be taking a religion class too. I will be taking a bunch of random classes for finish out my degree. Classes like: International foods ( a culinary class), Old Testament, Percussion Ensemble (Again for fun!) Book arts & Egyptian art history.

We're going to GRADUATE soon!! Despite everything we've managed to stay in school and pass our classes. I am set to graduate in December and Joe will graduate in April. We will be walking together in April. We can't wait to be done with school and get out of Rexburg!

Adoption Update: We have our paperwork! Finally!! Thanks to a separate savings account where we hid money away, generous relatives and an IRS Stimulus check, we got the paperwork. We've only had it for a couple of weeks but we have made good progress so far: our employment verification letters are in, and we have placed all 4 of our reference letters. Sorry we wanted to use all of you, but we chose to use those who we could visit and ask in person and we couldn't use family members. We continue to work on our paperwork and it occupies our minds when we aren't working on it.

Thanks so much for your love & support. We do feel it

I've missed you for over a month. I hope you had fun in WA.

That is great news about your paperwork.

And really fun about graduation. The Egyptian Art History class sounds facinating.
