Home Study #2

Well, last night we had our second home study meeting. Once again it was painless. Actually, it was quite nice. We met at a Chilis so I got my baby back ribs. Ribs is good. Me like ribs. I will say though that it is a bit odd to be sitting in front of your spouse and having to answer, "So, what are her strengths and weaknesses." One must be careful with such questions. But we both survived, still happily married, and still adopting.
