By nature Tony and I are 'get things done by the deadline' kind of people. So when one of our major homework assignments for our second meeting was our individual autobiographies we under anticipated the depth of thought and typing this would take! So one week before our meeting we are going through a list of questions that we can either answer or write in story form. We both chose to just answer the questions. This resulted in an 11 page document each! It was interesting to look back on my life and reflect on how it shaped my now and how it could shape my future.
The other task was to get our finger prints done twice (apparently and GBI and FBI don't like to share, which means 2x the cost) If you haven't gotten your finger prints in a while (and I hope you haven't for bad reasons) its pretty cool. There is no more ink and they run your finger print card through the printer! I know cool huh!?! When you place your finger on the glass it takes a perfect picture of the finger. I had some problems rolling my fingers so we wouldn't get smudges but eventually we got each finger detected.
We also had to fill out the paperwork for our background checks. Each state is different but we were required to recall all the states/addresses we lived. Have you ever tried this?!? I couldn't remember my 3 college addresses and Tony was never going to recall his California address from 21 years ago. (No cool Pinterest ideas back then). So we headed to the good-old internet. Sure enough for $7 Tony was able to get every address he had ever had in his life. Then received a coupon code for a free second person look-up, which he used to get all my addresses. So my puzzling question is it cost us $7 to get just about everything we put on the forms why did we still have to send $34 for the background checks to be processed?
February 27th we met with our SW for our second at home interview. Each of us had a long individual interview and our SW was here for 4+ hrs.
She gave us our new assignment- online learning and to finish reading The Connected Child. Then our last face to face meeting will be held on March 21st for another joint meeting.
