So with a December 2008 date tentative in our minds, we went about our business. We busied ourselves w/family time, work, and other "basic activities". Sad to say, December came and went with no changes other than the waiting time increasing, but no firm date to be seen.

As time continued to grind on, our paperwork started to reach it's expiration date. So, it was off to Cleveland to renew fingerprints and background checks, over to the Sheriff's office for updating our fingerprints. We needed to update our home study, it had reached it's life span as well!
