Don't hate me...

I just got back from my second to last class. (we finish training on Thursday) Our trainer thinks I might be the fastest to get licensed. I made our first call to DCFS on April 6th, and we should be totally licensed by May 7th. What can I say, when I want something done I’m a pain in the butt! I have made out 5x7 pictures of our family with all our info. I made 100 copies and I’m going to pass them out to the caseworkers. I hope it is not dumb, I had a friend do it and it really worked…. I guess we will see.

What an great way to network yourself. It never occurred to me to do something like that!

I'm glad the process is going quickly and smoothly for you.
