Bach and I will take 2 orders of Chicken Tacos Please!

We sent our new background clearances in, I scanned all our paperwork that the social worker brought in and sent to the #adoption agency with the standard, "Please let us know if you need anything else from us."  YEP, of course they did.  She attached more pages to read and sign and said "I don't have these from you."  OH!  Maybe because nobody ever gave them to us.  Luckily it was only a few documents that we signed that night and sent back.  We are not technically "Approved" in this agency until our BG check is complete, so I asked if we should even start the profile book yet, I MEAN why waste time staring at old pics if we get rejected because they found out about that meth ring I used to run?!  Joke...joke.  She said yes to start now to save time later.  SO, I plan on doing that this week!  I have planning it in my head.  Too bad there are only 10 pages, cause MAN I love #writing and I love me some #pictures! It will be hard to summarize us.  If we were going to be super honest these would be our 'about us' pages-

 Bullet points would read:
 (about #wife from husbands perspective):
-quite #loud
-is on a first name basis with the Rio Grande staff
-Did great in college but only got straight A's senior year because she was hit by a drunk driver, leaving her with a bum hip and neck.
-has worked as a #makeup artist, in #television, as a #preschool teacher and in a church.  She claims, "If you are good at so many things, why just pick one of them?"
-she is modest. #akanotmodest

(about #husband from wife's perspective):
-not even half as loud as me.  Sometimes inaudible.
-is on a first name basis with the Rio Grande staff
-hates being tickled, though I continue to do it at least weekly.
-"I will be there at 8" means 8:45, so I always lie about what time our plans are
- is an amazing #musician, though often when I hear something coming from the #piano (sounding like Bach) and ask what it is, he responds, "OH, It's nothing, I'm just messin around on the piano."  OH OK.  When I mess around on it, it sounds like I sat on the piano, but you continue, Mr. ACTUALLY modest man.

That is probably not what they are looking for.  Though I do think some of them could be used for captions, like one of us at Rio Grande, mentioning the first named basis.  Maybe we will end up with a #Mexican child who will eat more than the chicken tacos we order. 
sidenote: we both order chicken and rice at #chinese restaurants, too.  Guess we could add on both of our about us pages, "Eats the most boring #food available."

Want to place your child with us?!?
