Slow and Steady

Today our completed dossier went into the mail, destined for Ottawa and the Rwandan Embassy.

Our hopeful timeline is 2 weeks until we see it back here on BC land, stamped and ready for the long journey to Rwanda. At this point, we have completed as much as we can; and the rest is more of the unknown.


In the in-between time, life is full and summer is on its way. There is a garden needed planting and a pond needing filling. It is May long weekend and I can say with more hope than certainty, that next year, during May long weekend, we will be camping with the kids.

Today felt like a relief. A parcel in the mail - slow and steady.

One last piece of paper...

Last week we went to Vancouver to get our 4 Dossiers notarized. We had everything there we needed, but our agency hadn't sent the Ministry the fax for our final approval letter.

So here we are waiting.

again and still.

It is has been a challenging week because we have all of our information organized and ready to be sent away, except one last letter. It has been such a long process and the last week has felt like a week of unnecessary waiting. I hold in my heart that the timing will all work out perfect in the end and I try to let go of what I can't control.

This is an ongoing and reoccurring lesson for me.

In the inbetween time...I will be out in the garden and in the sunshine with my pup. We both energize from that sunshine and it is a reminder of the long summer days on the way. There is lots to do around the house to keep a girl busy.
