Immigration

This waiting game for John's immigration is getting so old. I feel like a broken record praying over and over that today the papers that allow him to get a job will come. It's like we're stuck in this phase of life and EVERYTHING is waiting for him to have a stable job. We're barely making it financially. I'm working 3 jobs and I'm exhausted. I'm scared that I'm going to get into nursing school this summer and June will come and I won't be able to start because he still won't be working. I'm scared we're going to be stuck in this season of life forever. It feels like forever already because he was told originally he'd get his working papers 6-10 weeks after submission... back in May! It's one of those things that we can't even really proactively wait. Johns has looked at jobs over and over but what good does it do without the papers allowing him to apply. We can't afford for him to get his driver's license which would be a helpful step, but until he's working we cant afford the class we can't afford the increase in insurance. It's just so frustrating he's not immigrating from a country that's commonly trying to come to the US. He has no record. He's done everything by the book and yet this process has been so completely complex for no real reason.

As I was praying about all this this morning I told God I'm changing tactics I am going to now be the pesky traveler knocking in the middle of the night for some bread (I might have that story a little off but you get the point) I'm going to ask over and over and over until my prayers are answered. Basically out of desperation. What else am I going to do? What else can I do?

Budgeting

I was going over the monthly budget and I think maybe we can pay all the bills this month. Yay. But I'm realizing if I'm going back to school in June to get my RN (yay) John has to be working a steady job by then. I wish we somehow had control over this immigration crap. It's becoming so hard on us not having him working. I hate how much I'm having to work to keep us a float. Not to mention that we'd like to be in a house and have a couple grand in savings before we have a baby. It's making this seem like it's going to be forever. 

I have been doing well on my fitness goals so far. I worked out for about an hour this morning. Now I'm trying to work up the motivation to clean the bathroom. Ugh!

All in all I have hope things will look up, it's just draining having to wait for so many things.
