Still

Nothing to report yet this week.  Still waiting to hear from Amy that our paperwork has received final approval from MOI and still waiting to hear from Kristin that our revised homestudy is ready to send back to USCIS.  Still waiting... 

Growing up living on the lake we were able to see many beautiful evenings when the water was still -- calm and quiet.  When the sun was going down, it was simply breathtaking and calming.  This "stillness" was peaceful and mesmerizing, a wonderful momentary escape from reality.

Now, this "stillness" is so much different, so frustrating, so confusing, so discouraging and so maddening at times.  Part of what makes this so difficult is the fact that there is nothing that we can do and we have no endpoint, no due date.  This feels like an incredibly LONG painful labor with no end in sight!

Please understand that if I don't call or try to connect with you, it may be because it takes all I have just to maintain my home and family and get through the day.  Some days I just can't talk about it anymore.  I am so thankful for your thoughts and prayers, love and support. 

Sincerely,
Elizabeth
