Yesterday, our caseworker from our agency came by to do our walk through! She only wants us to add another smoke detector, which I did yesterday after she left! She also gave us our class schedule and lots of paperwork to fill out! :) I need to call and make us doctors appointments for physicals and call the fire department for them to inspect and lots more stuff! I'll update you guys and we get it done. For those of you who are looking for a checklist for a home study (which I know I did)! I will post a checklist that she left us, so you can get an idea!
