A Day of Happy Happynings

Today was an exciting day! Being that it was our second anniversary, we were finally able to go over to LDS Family Services to pick up our initial paperwork so that we can adopt a child. Those guys don't mess around when it comes to making sure that the perspective adoptive parent are well qualified. The packet we picked up outlined what will likely take several months of work to complete. Oh well, I guess none of the important things in life come easy.
Another bright and cheery moment of the day occurred when Lance checked to see if his MCAT Score had been posted. It had and he got a 33!!! (For the majority of you that may be unfamiliar with the MCAT, The score is out of 45 possible, with 24 being average. That puts him in about the ninetieth percentile of all medical school applicants that take the test which will hopefully mean that getting accepted to a medical school will at least be possible).
We celebrated the happy day by going out to eat at Iron Gate Grill. When we got home, we ate some of Lance's Creme Brulee. Yummy!
