Waiting commence

We are officially waiting for our final approval from our adoption agency to be accepted.  I have to confess I was dragging my feet, for a long time.  Waiting on one letter to be sent, but then, (prayers) the first of many Yes's!  I was thinking about it today, why I have been waiting to get this all together, and I think I was scared, scared that this wasn't the path to our family, wondering what if this was the wrong agency.  Today after looking at even more agencies online I finally realized I just needed to take the plunge or else it would never happen!
I agonized over every detail of our application, for weeks, which photo to send of us? I calculated our assets about 100 different times. I made sure every word was spelled correctly at least ten times.  obsessive I know.  I'm so scared to give the future of our family to people I don't know.  They can say no. And we have to start over.  Granted we are so early in the process better it happen now, than later.
Here is the photo I decided on:
It's from a haunted hayride/bog we go to every year with great friends.  It's not the most flattering picture of me, but we are both smiling, which is rare.  Usually one of us is smiling nice and the other is making some ridiculous face.  Like this:
I'm pretty sure we would have been denied immediately if I sent this photo. haha! this was another Halloween photo where we went as "mostly sunny" and "partly cloudy".  Can you tell which is which? 
Anyway, I'm excited, scared, nervous.  Ready for our babies!
