Patience...

I Corinthians 13:13

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.... And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love...


Well, 2 weeks from today Leo and I will get our Wedding Blessing! We are so excited... not only to see eachother again but also to have a nice week together with our families and most importantly to receive that blessing. If there is one lesson that we are learning in our situation is patience. It has been almost 10 months since we got married legally and still we are patiently waiting to hear just one word from the Canadian government. It is like our life together is on hold and we cannot make any plans for the future because we have no idea when we will be together.

There are so many times when I felt I would like to just pick up, leave and live in Costa Rica with him until he is able to come to Canada. But with the economic situation, I cannot leave my job and who knows if I would even be able to get a job in Costa Rica because their situation is even worse. So, we just have to have patience and have faith that everything will fall into place at the right moment!

Another Countdown...

Well, here I am counting down to another trip to Costa Rica! I am so excited that it is only 4 weeks (well, 3 weeks and 6 days) until I head back. Yeah! This trip is going to be extra exciting since my whole family is coming along! On August 3rd we plan to have our 'official wedding' and Leo and I will have both of our families all together with us. It is something we have planned since we decided to get married last year. I have lots of things on the go right now to get ready for the big day!
