Final homestudy visit is done!

Well, Tom came by at 3:30 yesterday, sat and interviewed the kids, and then walked through the house. We went over paperwork, he said he had everything except the certificate of Hague training, which I will have Ky send to him, and that was pretty much it.

Unlike last time, the kids were all together, with me, around the table. No private interrogations. He seemed impressed with them, and all that they are involved in. The kids were relaxed and talkative. I was relieved that they were open and said what they thought. When asked what her favorite thing was about school, Myleigh said recess. When asked what her second favorite thing was, she said outside recess. I had to offer that she loves reading, and she piped up quickly with, Im a good reader, too.

Mindy told him that she has two plans for after high school. One, and she said this sheepishly, is to spend time at Disneyworld, in their college student program, being a Disney character. She thought he would think that was kind of silly, but, he really got it, and said he had heard a lot about that program, and how much charity work they do. Then she said that she wanted to be on the BYU ballroom touring team, and he nodded approval.

Mstthew was quieter, but, had no trouble answering questions about being the one to go to China. He is so excited about that, and it really showed. He was fairly bored until Tom asked, who is going to China this time. He perked right up and beamed about it. Myleigh said she wanted to go, and I had to say again that we haven't decided yet about that.

Then the tour, which went well, the house always shows well. Being decorated for Christmas just made it that much nicer. And then, we were done.

Still, I am not going to get overexcited, not yet anyway. We still have to clear the USCIS. Once we know about that, we can breathe out.
