I'm so sorry I'm just now getting this posted. The time has really flown by this week.
Our week started off with our second homestudy interview (of 4 total). April, our social worker, came over to the house at 10:00 am Monday morning. We were much more relaxed going into this interview, seeing as though we had already met April and knew more of what to expect. This interview the main topic of discussion was our relationship. We talked about how David and I first met, what our dating life was like, how long we dated before we were married, what our marriage has been like, how we resolve conflict, our current and previous jobs, etc. For the most part I think it was pretty easy for her. As most people are, she was surprised that we were high school sweethearts that actually "made it". I guess in the grand scheme of things it is rare to meet the man of your dreams (or boy as it was) in the eigth grade. I consider it truly a blessing that I was able to know and be a part of my husband's life at such a young age. Sorry, I'm getting a bit side-tracked . . . anyways, April stayed about an hour and a half. Again things went wonderfully! We are so pleased (and relieved). We ended the interview by planning the dates/times for the final two interviews.

David and I will be working on finishing up the paperwork side of the homestudy process and looking forward to our next interview. We will keep you posted!
I thought this verse was so neat, I came across it this morning . . .
"But as for me, God's presence is my good. I have made the Lord God my refuge, so I can tell about all You do." - Psalm 73:28
