Oh, the frustration of it all

Just when we think we're on the verge of getting everything finished, something else stands in our way. Yesterday I got a letter from the Dept. of Homeland Security. For the 3rd time they are requesting a copy of Stuart's divorce decree. I have sent it in every time they've requested it. Well, this time they tell me that I am actually sending in the property settlement and not the actual decree. Seriously, why didn't they tell me that the first time. Then they also want an original copy of my birth certificate again. I don't know what was wrong with the first one but they are driving me crazy. We did receive our cover letter in the mail the other day and will be sending that off to MI for certification. Once we receive that back and our I171 we should be good to go finally. Oh, the party that will be had when this is out of our hands. Our agency has sent over a few dossiers so I expect that referrals will be coming in soon. I also received news today that the orphanage where the children are has received approval to house more kids. That should help with the referral numbers too.
In other news, I am a bachelorette this weekend. And I might be the least exciting bachelorette ever. The boys are up in MI visiting Stuart's family so its just me and the dogs at home. The weather is so yucky that I've hardly left the house and don't really plan on it until work on Monday. I did manage the Franklin College football game today but only lasted through 3 quarters of it. It was snowing and miserable. Mostly I'm just sitting and watching all of the conference championship football games on the tube. We'll consider it a victory tomorrow if I manage to change out of my pajamas. TTFN:0)
