I’m too tired and way too sad to write much tonight, but our dossier didn’t get approved today for anyone who was wondering. I promise you it seems like it’s one tiny, minute detail after another that is beyond our control every time we send in our revised documents. I’m pretty frustrated with our agency right now, but strangely enough at the same time I’m thankful that they’re so stinkin’ thorough. I really thought we were done, so when our case worker called today with the latest bizarre news, I lost it. I could tell that she hated to call me and felt so bad for us. I cried a few buckets of tears, and now I’m moving on. We’re leaving for vacation tomorrow morning, so the last revision to be made will have to wait until we get back. I’ve racked my brains trying to think of a way to get it taken care of before we leave, but multiple people (including a notary) need to be involved, and it just doesn’t seem possible. What makes it even more frustrating is that I paid an insane amount of money to get our documents to AGCI YESTERDAY, and the delivery date was rescheduled (for some reason only God must know) for today. If they would have arrived yesterday, I would have had time to get everything taken care of today and on its way to Portland (where our agency is located). I was SO hoping to go on vacation with all of this dossier mess behind us, but instead it will be waiting when we get back. To say that I’m disappointed would be a huge understatement. Let me say this, though . . . if you’re working with AGCI and have any questions when it comes to putting your dossier together, please give me a call. I think it’s safe to say that I can answer them all now! That being said, most people don’t have nearly the trouble we’ve had. I’m telling you, I don’t have the time or energy to explain it all right now, but one day it will make a great story (I think).
Tomorrow we leave for our “10th Anniversary Givens Family Beach Vacation.” We’ve been going to Gulf Shores with my family for one week every summer for 10 years now. The first summer we went, Riley was only a few months old & now he’s nine . . . crazy. Of course, this year will be interesting with the oil spill. We actually changed houses tonight because a swimming advisory has been issued. They were able to find a house with a pool so we can at least get wet! I’m so ready for a get-away, so I don’t really even care about not being able to get in the ocean. It’ll be quiet here on the blog front for a while, but I’ll let you know when we finally get approved and waitlisted. Thanks for following our journey even when the news isn’t fun, and if you think about it, feel free to say a prayer for me. I’m feeling pretty discouraged . . .
