Accepted!

We got our acceptance letter from Kids and Canines last weekend! Ian was beyond excited, though in his words, "I just knew it." Although I prayed and hoped and felt like we were going to be asked to participate in the training, getting the letter means we have jumped over another hurdle and I can breathe a fraction of an inch easier. While we haven't been "guaranteed" the placement of Nick, we are first in line.

What does all this mean? It means two weeks of intensive training in May, Monday through Saturday. I'll be the primary person in the training so I can become certified to have Nick in public places, and depending on Ian's schedule, he will be involved as much as possible. This also means that our family is coming forward to help with the kids, and for that I am beyond thankful. If it wasn't for them this wouldn't be possible, because training is from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. While I would love to put the kids in an after-school program for those two weeks, it just isn't possible due to therapy and doctor appointments, so once again the whole, "It takes a village" comes into play.

We are one step closer!!
