Oh boy, have we been busy around here! I suppose I can update you on our August!
We completed our home study and it went fantastic! All we are waiting on now is our fire and health inspections, which we will be completing this month. I haven't officially set them up, but I plan on doing that next week. Hopefully that can be done quickly. Charles and I are so excited, and once the inspections are done, we are in the system and waiting for a munchkin! We did find out that while we are fostering, we cannot post the child's name or picture on any social site. So you'll just have me blogging about a nicknamed sweetie when the time arrives!
We have been preparing the baby room, we settled on zoo/safari type animals for the theme and bright orange as the color! We are currently redoing a dresser and I will post the before/after when it is done. It's been painted bright orange, but I think it might need another coat and new drawer pulls!
We discovered a wonderful little resale shop called "Once Upon A Child" and we are so in love with it! We have been getting super cheap, brand-new looking clothes at such a LOW LOW price! Charles' sweet parents also came this weekend and got us the car seat we have been wanting! It's convertible from newborn to toddler!
But, they were also here because.... Charles turned the big 2-5! I made him an adorable little minion cake and we tried the famous 'Salt Lick' restaurant for the first time. It was delish!
I also substituted on the first and second day of school. That was QUITE the challenge, but so fun to see a bunch of my sweeties from last year! I did an elementary school music class....needless to say, I came home and took a nap both days. HAHA!
Anyways, that is what we are up to! It is getting so hard to be patient, lol! We hope this post finds you all well, and we will keep you updated as the months go by!

Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains. You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. James 5:7-8
