Progress Day

What a wonderful day it has turned into be! We had decided to take and just stay home, sit back and relax. We have been going and going for days and we all really needed a down day. Kelly had not gotten her ID  because of all sort of hold ups. Tomorrow was going to be our running around day. We sat on the porch all morning, drinking coffee and hanging out as a family. We did some small projects in the house, and I do mean small. In the afternoon we sat back on the porch and watched the lightening from the thunder storm, played in the rain when it was safe. Just around 3:30 I was feeling a little antsy so Shawn and I decided to just take a stroll around the neighborhood. I spotted a store that has just recently opened, actually what caught my eye was some shelving, and I noticed they have a sign advertising "Notary Public". Shawn says ,"let's go price it". We go over and start chatting with her and find out she had a son that graduated Job Corp and she was happy to notarize Kelly's form, with my ID! Shawn and I literally jogged home, grabbed Kelly and her form and walked back to the store! The form has been notarized! Shawn and I then went to the Post Office down the street and her form has been mailed! God is GREAT! Kelly had gone home after, while at the store she had found a mini dress she fell in love with. The wonderful Ms. Brenda, the notarizer/store owner, sold it to Kelly for less than half of what we would have paid  for her State ID! She told Kelly that she was proud of her and she wanted to be sure that Kelly got her self something that made her happy! Shawn and I think floated on air on our walk! Finally some relief! Now we have a whole day with nothing planned! I am pretty sure we will find something to do! It feels incredibly good to know, as parent's, that we have the girls set up to go off to school and they have chose what will make them most happy! On our walk back we stopped and asked a neighbor if he might consider bringing us and Kate Lynn to the airport on the 3rd, if we gave him some gas money. He felt it should be no problem at all. So again, one less worry right now! If it falls through we will figure that out when the time comes! I feel pretty good about it! It has been a progress day!
