Where are we now...

We have hit a little snag with our second packet, and had to wait longer than expected for our background checks to be completed. However, they should be completed within the next week and then we will have all of our paperwork done and will be able to schedule our home study.
I have been trying to get the house ready for the home study, but still have a long way to go. However, I did finish one big project-I painted the bathroom. It has only needed to be done for 6 years, so yeah I am really on schedule. Joe had a work conference earlier last week and was gone for three days, I decided to surprise him by painting the bathroom while he was away. You see, whenever I have been gone, Joe rearranges the house, so I thought it only appropriate that I do something while he was gone (even if I didn't get it done before he got back.) It took me 5 days in all to finish, but I think it was worth it. I posted some pictures below of the finished product. (Image what it looked like before with just white primer on it, that may give you an idea of how beautiful it was.) I am pleased with the way it turned out and hope that it gives the bathroom a little personality. Now I am ready to tackle the rest of the house and want to paint all upstairs and have been searching the internet for decorating ideas. Everyone keeps telling me that I am taking on these projects because I am nesting-I guess they are right because I have become obsessed with going through every room in my house and trying to image what would make it better and help it be more baby friendly. I just hope I have the energy to start and finish all the projects that I want to.
