Friday after work I went to St. Jude's and did a little over half an hour of adoration, in thanks for Matthew getting his job! I was going anyway to pray for those intentions, so when I got the call on the way telling me he had gotten the job, it became a great time of thanksgiving!
After praying, I met Matthew at his parent's house and he was busy helping them move some tings around, and we enjoyed a great dinner there with them. Yummy!
Saturday we woke up early, had a bowl of cereal each, and headed off to the Foster classes. It was so much fun! There were six couples and a single lady. We spent from 9 a.m. til 4 p.m. getting to know each other, enjoying some really great food, and learning the first steps to welcoming children into our home.
The class was excellent and we cannot wait to go again next Saturday. Matthew has already decided to generously give up the computer room, which he himself picked the colors for and planned out. He wants that to be a boys' bedroom, and with the colors he picked out, it will be fantastic! We just have to shuffle all of the computer stuff and desk into our bedroom, and put up a bookshelf across the top or the room and we will have successfully merged the computer/library into the bedroom! This will leave the 2nd bedroom with bunkbeds and trundle, and now the 3rd bedroom for either a twin or bunkbeds for any boys we get. It was a good idea, and we are excited to be getting the house into "child mode".
After the classes we came home for a bit and then left to go to Reconciliation and Mass. Our regular priest is still in Ireland, so we had another visiting priest, one which unfortunately forgot about the 4:30 Reconciliation! :-) So, we were very early for the 5:30 Mass, and had a lot of extra time in the church to devote to prayer, which is always good.
Sunday morning we went to our family friend, Dodie's, funeral. It was very sad because she was so young and had left so many loved ones behind. She will be greatly missed.
After meeting my Dad, Sister, and Nephew there, we all went our separate ways and Matthew and I spent the day with his parents doing various errands. Matthew, finally, got his oil changed after me continuously nagging him about it. Yay.
This evening we are at home, did a few more pages of paperwork for the DFCS and tried to relax in preparation of a busy week ahead!
Monday Matthew takes his drug screening for the new job, and I have to take my Mom to the Dr. to get her post-surgery hard cast put on.
