My grandmother use to say this to me all the time as a child. At night while in bed, I can almost hear her saying it “Shelly Ann, patience is a virtue” I know she’s right, but sometimes it can be so difficult. If I’m bad at this age, can you imagine how I must have been as a child! (And just so you know, she always added the Ann whenever there was a hint that I might be in trouble).
Since we didn’t receive the MRI today, it is looking less likely that we will travel in July. So, I’m really praying for the 1st week in August. We also received notice that the Korean Ministry will not be approving any EPs in July. Luckily, we have our EP so are not in this boat, but I feel for these families. They are now officially delayed for 2 months. Our May 24 batch was the last approved. And there will be no new submissions in July. That’s really tough because kids were matched but are not allowed out of the country.
On a lighter note, we have an escape artist on our hands. It seems that one tiny little pup (who will remain anonymous, but is 10 pounds and ornery), has figured out how to push open the baby gate. For weeks, Mike and I have been reminding each other to close the gate while going upstairs. And then last night, we saw the little stinker in action. She may be clever, but now the gate has been tightened so it’s harder to open. I wonder, what she will think of next…..
