God was really watching over us during our homestudy - no rain! Thank You Jesus! It was a sunny, dry day. :) Thank you to all those that prayed for sunshine.
The homestudy itself was not as bad as we thought. Our caseworker came in at lunchtime, so we took her to our favorite burger joint - Mooyah!
Lunch was followed by a 4-hour interrogation. We had to rack our brains on things like where we have lived in the past 10 years, the name and address of the hospital we were born as well as the nearest hospital (and how far away it is.) There were some very basic questions like physical description and occupation, to personal questions about our personalities and general outlook on life. Luckily she had a sense of humor, which made it seem less intrusive.
Next she toured the house to review the things on the health and safety precaution checklist. That part only took ~5 minutes, which was slightly disappointing after doing all that hard work. At least we didn't scrub the grout like last time (for the health inspector).
Now we wait another 4-6 weeks for our caseworker to finish the 20+ page report on us which will go to the board to be reviewed and (hopefully) approved. During that time, we will be writing our "Dear Expectant Mother" letter and printing our profile book. Once we are approved and have sent those in, we are officially a "Waiting Family"!!!
