A PoTeNtIaL SeT BaCk

The background checks were sent in to the Department of Public Safety. Blake's came back saying he needed finger prints -which we expected- The letter said he needed to get them done with in 15 working days. We aren't sure if that started the day the letter was issued or if it starts the day after.. The letter was issued on October 1st. We were on vacation then. Well we go home and a couple weeks went by. One of the days was Columbus Day so we aren't sure if we should count that as a working day or not. Blake has been out of town in Pocatello, ID since Monday morning and we think today is the last day he can get his finger prints done :/!! Yesterday I called and made an appointment for Blake for today (Oct 22nd) at 4 PM. Blake called me last night and said he probably won't get home until late today. Oh my word. I immediately felt depressed. I had already been feeling not so happy because he was out of town and I was lonely and I felt pretty chubby yesterday (just one of those days, ya know) ANYWAY I was a tad devastated thinking he wouldn't pass his background check because he wouldn't have the finger prints done in time AHHHH! I prayed and prayed for a miracle. I prayed that Blake would miraculously get his job done in time. I was praying as I drove to work this morning, then I got a text. I didn't check it until I got to work because I didn't want to crash. But the text said he had finished his job and he'd be home in time for the finger prints appointment. "Hooray!" I thought and I gave thanks. But now I still have a tiny worry, I hope today is still an ok day to get it done. I hope its not too late. But Blake is pretty sure today is ok and I am ... sure... too that today is ok. But I still have a prayer in my heart that it will work out. I was thinking last night that there are too many set backs - the interview and the fingerprints - and I was thinking, well maybe I won't get approved this year. So in one of my prayers I reminded my Heavenly Father that I really do desire a child. It made me feel good knowing I can share what is in my heart and that He knows the desires of my heart. Well my fingers are crossed and I know it will all come together. It will! But I have to build up my faith again. It was shaken last night.

But I figure decorating the baby's room and buying stuff for it is kind of an act of faith. I must have faith that I will have a child soon if I am trying to make their room perfect. Well I have decorated it for a girl for now. I had the crib set to do the girl's already and I still had to make the boy one.

This isn't THE room. But its the crib set I have. I haven't decorated the room this fancy. I think its cute!
