Home Visiting

















We had our "home visit" this past thursday. That's when your social worker comes to your house to make sure you don't have a torture chamber hidden in your basement, or have 900 cats, or anything else scary. She also asked us some really good questions about our marriage and how we plan to raise this little person. I thought showing you our home would be a fun way to tell you about the home visit :) 
welcome to our abode!

in the next few weeks we will be home study approved, which means that a baby could be placed with us literally anytime after that. trust me, you will know when that happens! amazing.

thanks so much for reading,

p.s. the nice images were taken by carl zoch and amy seeley
crappy images taken by me.

  12. Your home is so "you." It's really gorgeous. I love how it's slightly eclectic, yet it all works together really well. And the color pallet! Again, very "you."

  18. Oh my gosh...your home is fantastic! I wish you were adopting ME!!!!!

    Sigh...I remember how nervous we were when we had our homestudy. And then our social worker was so nice and put us right at ease.

    Many prayers and blessings to you from Nashville!!!
