An Update

Danny and I went to our "last" interview with the licensing worker this evening. The interview covered nothing new and nothing of true importance in my opinion, but maybe that is just me feeling like a broken record. We covered the same material, answered the same questions and talked about the same issues that we have in ALL of the other interviews. BUT if this is what it takes, if it takes for us to repeat ourselves til' we are blue in the face (we are close) then we of course will do it.

The interview lasted about an hour and we talked more about our personal "habits", our financials, our interest in children, what age/sex and amount of children we want. She said this is information that we would normally go over when she comes out to do our home inspection, but we took care of it now, so it will be one less thing we need to cover when she comes out (I won't hold my breath about that).

So you are probably wondering what happens now, what the meeting today meant and what happens next... right? Me toooooo! hahha, teasing. She said that she is going to take all the paper work she has gathered, all the questions/answers that we covered today and write up a report and submit it to her manager. Her manager will review it (ask more questions if she has any) then give her approval, THEN it has to go up one more level, to HER manager who will do all the same things, and then eventually give her approval (fingers crossed of course that everyone approves it). Once we have the final approval, she (the licensing worker) will give us a call to schedule the home inspection. She will of course tell us what she wants changed in our home at that time. We will have time to "fix" whatever issues there are in our home and she will schedule the next visit to inspect. Once everything passes, she will submit everything to the County/State (I don't really know which one) to issue our license.

Then we are officially on the "waiting list" for a match.

She did tell us that because we are in the middle of all the holidays and she does not know what everyones vacations schedules look like, it could take up to a month to hear from her. She said, she will be there working most of the time she is "only taking one week off" but doesn't know how much time her manager, and her managers manager will be taking.. so she doesn't know how quickly they will get to our file. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. so we wait.
