  • Home Study Visit #1 - In the Bag | Mon, Mar 01, 2010 - 09:20 pm
    So, last Wednesday night, February 24th, we had our first home study visit. It was definitely less than painful. After scrubbing the house from top to bottom (thank you Mel), we sat in our family room and had a "friendly chat".

She had an outline in front of her, but said since it was just us we could just ask any questions we had. And so we did. By the end of the meeting she gave us the outline, and low-and-behold we'd covered everything on the outline and much more. Not to say we won't have a million more questions as time progresses, but we definitely have a good base of information. Sherry made us feel so comfortable, and was so easy to talk to. read more
