28 Documents - So Important!!!!

I can't even explain how careful I am with all the documents we have signed and have had notarized.  I am a FREAK about keeping them SAFE!!!  It's crazy I know but they are so very important.  Anyways, New York state requires a county certification before they will "authenticate" the documents.  So we brought 28 documents to the county clerk today.  I kid you not when I tell you I almost had a heart attack when the clerk stapled a little piece of paper to each document.  I thought I would pass out!!!!  How could she put those wholes in my beautiful perfect documents.  Of coarse my husband kept looking me like I was nuts!!!  But I have kept them so safe and now I am paying $3 a piece to have someone staple them - OH MY!!! 


So the clerk hands me the documents and I am a bit relieved that they are all OK!  What did I think they would cry???  So yes, I am losing it!!!  Anyways, we get in the van and I am inspecting each one carefully.  Then I decide to count them - UH OH - only 26!!  Dave turns the van around and I go back in the office.  The girl that was helping us is at lunch but a very nice lady finds the 2 documents and gets them certified.  Phew!!! 


Now I am afraid to mail them to Albany to be Apostilled - what will they do to my poor little documents?  They have clearly been through enough, don't you think???

So this is just a little insight on how absolutely obsessed and insane I am to make sure everything is perfect to bring Lyla home ASAP!!!!!!
