Today I  picked Patrick up from work so we could eat lunch together and get our BCI & FBI fingerprints done for our home study.  I had made us appointments to get them done at 11:45 at a place called National Background Check, Inc that does electronic prints and boasts about how fast you can get in and out.  Well we got there a little late and they had gone to lunch.  So we went to lunch too and went back up after we ate.  Fortunately, there wasn’t a long line and we were able to get in and out of there in about 15 minuets.   If all goes well the results should be to our social worker by the end of next week!

On my way home I stopped by the fire department to fill out a request to have a fire inspector come out to our house to do a fire inspection.  Before I left they went over the list of things they would check for so we could make sure we had everything ready when they came out which was awesome.  I’d much rather pass this inspection on the 1st try  It looks like we will be buying all new smoke detectors this weekend because you can’t have any that are more than 8 years old.  I also learned that it’s no longer enough to have a smoke detector on every floor; you now must also have one in every bedroom.  So it looks like we’ll be adding some safety to our house as well.
