Our Journey

14 months!

We have had another annual review with our social worker and all went well. We received our renewed approval. so we are allowed to wait for another year! Our medicals had to be renewed too, and they seemed fine.

The past few months have been very frustrating. This waiting is hard, and gets harder as time goes by. But the strange thing is we know that the timing will be right for us and the family we long for, but even so we have a real sense of time lost. Time we could be a family, time we could be enjoying with a child. However, equally we treasure the time we are together, enjoying life and work (most of the time!) and growing together with God. It really is a time of paradoxes (my husband word of the week!). So many emotions and thoughts, some times we feel we make no sense! We thank God for family and friends who try to understand and stick with us!

We continue to work on the house, making the garden safe and secure with fencing and gates, and building storage in our bedroom so that things can get sorted!

Our front garden is now easy to maintain and child proof! Much better than the jungle is was before!

We had a good break from work over half term and managed to get away for a few days. A well needed rest and wind down with no responsibilities! We have a very busy few weeks with it being the last half term of school, and both being teachers means we both rush about as much as each other. Looking forward to the summer break already!

Trusting God and trying to rest in our knowledge of Him,
