Inspection #2 ~ references being called ~ getting close

So of course the fence, gate and lock have all been installed and photos emailed.
Today I got a call from our licensing worker with more questions about our dog.  Seems in May the paperwork got much more detailed regarding pets around foster children.  So I was able to answer all of those via phone, then she said the state would need more details regarding the degenerative disk and UCTD on my paperwork from my physical, like symptoms and treatments etc.  So she is going to email the extra questions to answer for that and I will email responses back to her.

She said she failed to get us to sign one of the papers, so she would bring it out tomorrow, reinspect the pool area and then she would be ready to present our packet to her co-workers for approval to forward to the state. She said that baring any problems licensing happens within 50 days of submission.  She said it never takes that long, but that is the amt of time the state has to approve or deny a packet.  Looks like we are moving forward.

Also, I got a very excited phone call tonight from one of our dear friends, who is also a reference.  She said that she received the phone call about "us" from DSS.  She said the licensing worker sounded really excited about working with us and that she thought we were going to make great foster parents.  She of course asked questions of both she and her husband about us.... and that is the last step on the check sheet for preparation for state licensing. 

So yeah.  I'm pretty excited tonight.
Hopefully, the modifications will be approved around the pool area, and then we just wait...
continue to pray and wait upon the Lord.
