So today we finally had our “Home Visit” from MENTOR. It went really well!!
Wendy got here a little after 2 and was here until 3. We sat down and filled out some paperwork and then we wandered through the house…Preston led the way. He was SO excited to show someone our house and ALL his stuff. He was quite the chatterbox! We went through every room in the house except the master bedroom. She measured the bedrooms to make sure they meet their requirements, they do. She checked the hot water in the bathroom to make sure it doesn’t burn anyone, it doesn’t. The things we will most likely need to do is get our water professionally tested(I tested it and it’s fine, a kit from Home Depot), have our furnace checked and the fireplace too. Otherwise everything else is good.
Now she sends our CORI’s(background check) in and gets the paperwork in order. Then we will finish filling out our applications and get them in and decide if we are going to do the MAPP training in June or wait a little bit.
Oh, by the way we are going to work with MENTOR! I like that I don’t have to do two weekly meetings. They do have a group support meeting every week that you are encouraged to go to but are not obligated to.
Anyways, it’s exciting, fast but exciting :0)


Glad to hear things are moving forward.
