We have put in inquiries on a couple of kids, and have heard nothing back with the exception of one, who is aging out in less than 90 days (the required time frame after placement to finalization). One is an ADORABLE little 12 year old boy, who our kiddo picked out for us. He loves food, football and fun. The other child is a BEAUTIFUL 15 year old girl that is caring and compassionate, who wants to be a midwife when she grows up. The boy is local to our area, but the girl is from the same area our kiddo comes from. The worker from the area our kiddo is from is eager to work with us again, so we shall see what comes of it, as we haven't heard back from her about the girl.
In other news, I have to find time to prep the bedroom. We had given away the twin bed that was in there previously and just got a double bed, which is MUCH better for a teenager anyways. Going to leave the paint as is because our rule is that we let the kids pick their furniture and room color because we want them to feel like it's really their space. I'm always curious to see what the room will end up decorated like. Our kiddo chose white furniture with a fun black/white/purple splatter paint design in her room. Totally fits her too! :)
The scrapbook is slowly coming along. I figured I could balance a page a day (good in theory) with my final exam schedule. I didn't have a chance to work on the book yesterday, as I was on call at work and the kids were being squirrelly, but this weekend will hopefully leave me time to work on it some in between studying for/working on final exams. I'll post some pictures to my Facebook as the pages come together.
