Two Weeks Take Two

So, we never got the envelope back for not enough postage, not even yesterday which was my lucky day (good things always happen on Friday the 13th). My contacts came though, so that was a bit exciting. And the quote for the new A/C was not as crazy expensive as we'd thought, plus Travis's medical insurance will help pay for getting his wisdom teeth out. It was an insane week, let me tell you.

Any-hoo, we will be on try two to get our application completed so the two week waiting period will start. Finally. I am calming down quite a bit about this entire situation, I have got to let it go and give it over to God. I think that is the biggest problem I am having right now in handling this situation. It is hard to just let go, especially when we have been trying so hard for so long. I feel the need to control the situation so that if something goes wrong I can point to a specific thing/action/oversight and say, see this is what went wrong. Next time I will know better and it will work for us. That way it isn't so scary that arbitrary things happen that are beyond my control that will deny us our family yet again. It's not that I don't trust God to get it right, I guess I just don't trust myself to allow it to happen.

So I am expecting our countdown to begin on Friday I suppose. That should give us plenty of time to get the stuff together, get it in the mail, and let it get to St. Louis. That is if the post office hasn't upped postage on us again. JK :-)
