and just when I thought we were done

So you know how we updated all our papers? Well apparently Ethiopia just sent a letter asking to include updated birth certificates and marriage certificates...notarized. Just when we thought we were in the clear, seriously, I am just waiting for the next email with the next set of updated documents...this is getting tiring!

We found out on thursday about the new documents. We started to look for our certificates right away but lo and behold we could not find them anywhere!! We tore the house apart that night, then we tore it apart again in the morning. We both had to go to work on friday but agreed we would not go to bed that night until we had found them! We also had booked an appointment at the lawyers to notarize the papers, but we had to cancel it as we could not find the papers we needed to notarize! At this point I was just about to lose it, when my wonderful husband comes into the room with the missing papers! The were in an envelope stuffed to the side of a book shelf. We did lose the appointment though, but we are rescheduled for tomorrow morning. I really hope this is the last of the papers, I can't bare any more!!! The wait has been hard lately, mostly I am just tired of not being able to plan anything, I can't plan my life beyond tomorrow. It is hard because we are planning on a six month travel to Ethiopia but can't plan when this will happen until we get a referral and then a court date. So, once again, I am working on my patience and my trust in God's timing, wisdom and plans. Please pray for us in this direction as our hearts are going crazy.
