We are embarking on a fast paced few months. I was offered and accepted a long term sub job at the middle school. It all happened very quickly and it is certainly an answer to prayers. We have been sitting on our dossier as we save money since we can't submit it until we pay off our current balance and we wanted to have the next $3000 ready so once the dossier was submitted we could move a little quicker. This sub job will allow us to do just that. The work load will be more than I've ever taken on, but I can't even balk at considering the opportunity it provides.
I'll be teaching PE and weightlifting to middle schoolers. My favorite age to teach and a subject I am thankfully now familiar with and comfortable teaching. I'm excited!
Tomorrow Chad and I go for our psych evals. I have no idea what we will be asked and that is somewhat nerve wracking, but we are trusting the process and that we'll have a completed dossier in a few more months! It is starting to feel closer, tangible, emotional. The kids dossiers will be compiled in the next few months as well. That's an additional chunk for money, but at this point we barely blink at $3000 or $4000. Not that we have it lying around, but it's just another step in the process. I wish we could explain it better than a "process." It makes it seem so cold. Like we are somehow detached from the actual people that will be our children some day soon. I think about them every single day. Much like a pregnancy, I dream of their futures, how we will navigate our days, how their addition will affect the family, how they will grow and develop. All of it. I so desperate to write the part of the story where they are with us. It can't come soon enough.
