We had a busy, fun weekend! My parents were awesome and watched our kids while Bryce and I drove to Portland. My most favorite part of the whole weekend was talking to Bryce non-stop the entire two hour trip. That happens almost every time we are alone on that drive. I love it!
We first had our orientation meeting with our caseworker. It was short and sweet since he already knows us and our story from being our caseworker with Oaklee's adoption. Right after we were able to attend an adoption training. We got five of the ten hours required and it covered all the topics required. It was long, but very worth it.
That evening we were able to attend the Temple along with a few other adoptive couples involved in FSA. This is the 4 time in the last two and half months that Bryce and I have been able to go. I love that we have been able to go so often, especially since we live two hours away from our Temple.
The next day we attended an all day FSA conference. It was really great! The key note speaker was our attorney for Oaklee's adoption. I had never met him, so it was nice to put a face with a name. He also is an adoptee and just has alot of passion for what he does. His family has been through alot in the last few years and he is very inspiring. The other classes were wonderful, and we were able to get the remaining five hours we needed to complete the adoption education requirements for the state. YAHOO!!!
Afterwards we headed to the mall that was close by to look for some slacks for Bryce. He has lost more than 50 pounds this last year and all of his clothes were huge on him. Thankfully we found what we needed and got out of there, it was a mad house. Too many people!
We weren't even gone two full days, but we were both so ready to be home and see our babies. And walking through the door to our two babies screaming and jumping with excitement for us to be home was just so perfect. They both were attached to our hips the rest of the weekend, so sweet!
