Hi there..
Thanks so much for the good thoughts, well wishes and prayers. I appreciate them so much.
I wish I could say that we were successful, but I can't. We have the issue of Alyssa's father to contend with. While he has no visitation and Sara has full custody, he has to be notified or attempted to be notified. I have no idea where he lives but in order to file I need to have a letter notarized to the effect that I attempted to and was unsuccessful in doing so. So we left the courthouse with the paper work and even more questions.
And the other thought is that if we allow this to be played out in the court, while I am certain her father could not gain custody it is one more thing we'd have to deal with. And I refuse to add another.
I have talked to the social worker and he is ok with us not going through the courts but wants us to keep the kids for what looks like a year minimum. My sister is under the impression it's for a week. So I told the social worker that he needed to address that with her along with a few other things. If it comes from him then she must take it seriously. From me, it's just not "official" enough.
On top of all that I came down with something. When I woke up yesterday my entire body hurt. I really thought it was stress but by yesterday afternoon I had a fever. As long I am pumped full of meds I am ok. I have no time to be sick...
Was that a tatoo on your shoulder?
and I have been called for 2 job interviews in the last 2 days. One today and one Monday. Today's is for the headquarters of Heidi's Deli's and Monday is a hoity toity dr. (from what I can figure out from the website).

for alone time. Even though its just John and I, our trip in Feb. was just the 2 of us and it was great. So long as the weather doesn't get to crazy you will have a wonderful time.
