So I hear this question alot lately? Not from my friends or family…but from Mia and Paul.

I cant blame them…look at that doll baby!! Her friends are home with their families and doing wonderful!!

So here are my thoughts on travel…all of our paperwork is ready and waiting at the Korean agency. We believe she was submitted to the ministry, the first week of April. Of course, we have no confirmation of that. But we wont get into that on this very public blog. The reason we believe she has been submitted is because a healthy referral with a 3/19/12 paperwork date was submitted with another US agency, and THEY were given confirmation. Check out my timeline, we are a 2/1/12 paperwork date (ATK).

I am now calling every day to see if her Visa Interviewed has been scheduled….usually travel calls come right before, same day or day after the interview. I will take any of the above mentioned times…:)

Some are guessing travel calls tomorrow…honestly I feel Monday will be her Visa Interview…just a thought….

We will be taking Mia and Chloe with us this time. It will be such a good experience for Chloe (she raised the money for her ticket)and a chance for Mia to see her foster family again.

Chloe will be blogging soon and the entire time she is in Korea as well.:)

Stay tuned….more exciting blogs to come!:):)

So I am totally and utterly out of control….I mean…out.of.control.

I am nesting like I am expecting quadruplets.

I used an entire ream of paper printing…printing what you may ask?

Well….I have committed to teaching the preschool class on Sunday mornings for the next several months. So I have 52 weeks of coloring sheets and crafts for each lesson.

I have written and printed all these different possible puppet scripts, mass media ideas.

We are starting a new iPro program on Wednesday night teaching Proverbs..so I have all the games, crafts and lessons planned for that for of course 31 weeks.:)

VBS is planned planned and planned some more.

And of course where I am putting all these fabulous printables….of course..right into file folders.I have used 110 file folders. What???? I had to organize my prining craziness.

I am sick…I need travel call ASAP!

So while I was waiting for more ink to be put into our printer, I decided to freezer cook 25 meals…see below.

Baked Creamy Spaghetti
French Beef Dip
Lasagna- My moms recipe:)
Chicken Pot Pie
Chicken Fajitas
Ranch Chicken
Italian Chicken
Creamy Broccolli Casserolle

Most of these are put in a ziploc bag and put right into my crock pot.

So you probably noticed…these recipes are from Pinterest….but they are not freezer recipes. I get tired of the freezer recipes….freeze whatever you want!! Just know that creme sauces separate. Someone asked me if you should freeze in aluminum…I dont have a clue. I prefer ziploc bags so I can dump it into my crock pot (of course with a crock pot liner) but I like my lasagna and chicken pot pies neat so they are in aluminum.

Now tomorrow for supper we are having  Spaghetti Bread....it looks incredible!!
