Two-ish week wait

Less than two weeks. Counting down the days, hours, minutes... Ok so we don't know exactly when we'll get our first foster kid, but they told us to be ready by March and I think there's a good chance we will make that deadline. It's crazy thinking this is actually going to happen. The more we buy and set up and wash kiddo stuff the more this seems real. Sometimes I don't know whether I'm excited or not as I tend to worry over all the unknowns.

Speaking of unknowns, less than two weeks Jared starts a new job. He'll be working under our friend Jonathan as the maintenance man at an RV park. Jared's looking pretty forward to it. Me? I'm just thinking not only will we become foster parents soon... but Jared's starting a new job? So many unknowns! I don't like not knowing what to expect.

On top of all that our kitten Clover has an appointment to get spayed and declawed on March 12th. So in the middle of trying to get used to our new schedules we'll be dealing with Clover's recovery. Recovery is supposed to last for a week. I was hoping to get this done a long time ago, then hoping I could get it done before fostering, and now... Well we waited to long to make the call and it'll be done in March.

Life will be very different very soon.... Excited? Yep. Nervous? You betcha! Scared? Yeah maybe... But I also know it'll all work out somehow, because when I really think about it I know God's got His hand on these big changes and He wouldn't be making all the pieces fall into place now if He didn't think we were ready. Now if only I could keep that thought nearer the front of my mind. ;)
