The wait continues...

Another couple of months have gone by and we are still waiting for the lovely Green Card to arrive, of course with the current government shut down we are pretty sure nothing is getting down in that area. We have tried contacting different offices to try to figure out what is going on, but as of now have not heard anything encouraging.

Ryan and I have both been sick the last two weeks. Ryan had just settled into the new school year when he was hit with a cold which turned into an upper respiratory infection so he was out of school for a whole week. Just as he was recovering from it, I was hit with it as well. We are thankful that Naomi has managed to stay healthy through it all and as of now does not seem to have it. Hopefully in this coming week we can get back into the full swing of things. 

We joined in a couples Bible study group through our church which meets once a week and our home and are looking forward to getting to know more couples our age that live in the area. It has really been a blessing to connect with other couples that in the same stage of life as us. 

The most exciting news that we have had lately is that I am going to be an Aunt in April! I am really excited for Andrea to become a Mum as well as for Naomi to have a cousin.

Naomi is doing well especially since she has managed to stay healthy! She had her 6 month appointment yesterday and even handled the shots pretty well. She already has two teeth and is able to sit by herself. 

It's been a little bit of a discouraging time lately with us both being sick for so long and the green card still not being here. However the important part to remember is that the Lord continues to bless us day by day and shows us that he is still taking care of us. We are thankful for the different ways that we are always encouraged. whether that's through a group of other young couples from our Bible study, or by a phone call from one of my RVA friends. God is good all the time and his timing is perfect.
