"oh I wish..."
Last week Zak and I completed our home study, which was a lot less stressful than I imagined it would be.
All is well in our home, and after spending roughly 3 hours with our home study coordinator we have now answered all the questions in the world pertaining to our past, present, and future. My head is spinning just thinking about it! When she asked what the worst memory of my child hood was, I really had to dig deep and decide if "not becoming the Oscar Mayer Wiener girl" was acceptable or not.
Seriously- I tried out to be the Oscar Mayer Wiener girl when I was like 8 years old, but I was ROBBED.
obviously, I'm not bitter or anything. But if you're reading this and work for Oscar Mayer Wiener--- let me just tell you, you missed out. I could have been a game changer. Now you'll have to live with knowing that.
Side note, I decided that mentioning I wanted to be a little girl who represented hot dogs wasn't the best answer to give our home study coordinator- I mean, this woman basically plays a huge role in whether or not I'm going to be a mother- I can't have her thinking I'm 24 and still hung up over not getting to ride in the Wiener-mobile through all 50 states where I would hang out the door and sing

"I wish I were an Oscar Meyer wiener
that is what I'd really like to be
'cause if I were an Oscar Meyer wiener
everyone would be in love with me
Oh, I'm glad I'm not an Oscar Meyer wiener
that is what I'd never want to be
'cause if I were an Oscar Meyer wiener
everyone would take a bite of me"

Oh well. you live and learn and then you become old enough to know what they put in hot dogs and you realize you never want to touch one again, much less sing a song declaring you wanted to be one.
So with our home study behind us we are closer than ever to meeting our forever. That blows my mind. I feel like I've waited my entire life to get to this moment, and now that it's nearly here I can't believe it!
We still have some waiting ahead of us, anywhere from 2-4 weeks until we are declared "open", but I imagine that time will fly by. Life has a way of doing that.
I'm trying to remind myself that this is another 2-4 weeks that I have my husband all to myself. Life as we know it will never be the same, and while we are so ready for that, I plan on savoring every second I have with him. We've been very fortunate to have nearly 3 years of marriage that was all our own.
3 years of becoming Zak's best friend- I'm a lucky girl.
I just wanted to give you all a little update to let you know that the life of a lowry is so crazy right now!
Also- if you would like to contact Oscar Mayer to let them know what a mistake they made 16 or so years ago I feel like you should.
