I tried to play electrican this weekend but quickly realized that could be very deadly and very expensive if not done right. For some strange reason one breaker in our house has decided to quit working. Nothing unusal was going on and I went to flip a switch and nothing came on. After much reasearch on the internet and looking around I'm 99% sure I've got a bad breaker. (What happened before we had all the knowledge of the internet at our fingerprints.) Part of me really wanted to take the breaker box off and switch out breakers to see if that was it. As close as I came I decided to play it safe and call an electrican in. We'll see how it goes Monday. The one bad thing is I'll be out of town Monday so it will be up to Sarah and Leah to keep the electrical in line and have him get it done quickly and cheap! I'll get some sense of a moral victory if I at least properly diagnosed the problem. The part of me that gets stressed out about everything fears we've got a small short somewhere and the electrical will spend hours ($$$$) trying to diagnose the problem. I also fear our house could burn down but we'll pray it doesn't.
Small glitch in our I-600A filing. We got a notice this week saying they wanted the original signature on the home study. I quickly mailed it in. Part of me, a rather large part of me, wanted to highlight the instructions that say specifically that a photocopy will work unless specificially mentioned. I've read the instructions and I see nothing about an original signature on the home study. Since there is only one person in the office in KC that processes the forms I thought it might be in my best interest to not make her too upset yet.
Some families returned home from Ethiopia that adopted through Holt. These are the first families to travel for Holt and sounds like everything went off without a hitch. Hopefully it will go as well for us.
I'm predicing a referral on August 29th with leaving for travel on November 20th. This is purely a random guess with nothing to back it up. I'm competitive so if any one wants to start a pool and see who wins give your guess!

I'm going on record as saying your trip happens in October or December. I see you having the middle of November free. (wink)
I understand you did another great job of leading the troops through battle! However, I think you need to take lessons from Heather on facing your fears (of reptiles). Don't you know that humans are much more dangerous than animals? (remember West, MS)
