The Waiting Game

So our patience is definitely being tested this past week or so with everything going on.  As I shared we are moving to the ranch before baby, and at this point we are FOR SURE it will before baby.  We are coming to an end in our place here in Saskatoon and long behold the trailer isn't there/ready. Now we both realize there is nothing we can do about it but pray and wait so that is what we have been doing.  We did hear it was delayed a few weeks a bit ago, so we hope our next phone conversation with the builders is positive and with a definitive date of arrival.

Since we have gotten that news of delay, we have been planning our lives around needing to move out, branding (Coy being gone and needed at the ranch) and baby possibly coming soon after.  I have been clinging to 1 Peter 5:7 - "Cast all your anxiety on Him for he cares for you" and God has been giving me peace through the days! It can be stressful at times and I know I especially have to just take a moment to regain my thoughts, read the word and relax - all for the sake of our baby and our health.

We are SO blessed to have some wonderful friends who own a place here in the city who are allowing us to use it while we need it until baby arrives.  I am not sure what life would look like without them being so generous but I bet it would include my in-laws basement for a few weeks.  So...in the midst of the busy times ahead, looks like we are moving out this weekend since Coy needs to be at the ranch all next week to prepare for branding the following weekend.  I will stay in Saskatoon for the most part - that drive just isn't as comfortable as before .... at all!  Packing is also going slower than expected and naps keep creeping in there when I should be packing even one box :) Packing will come with time and help I suppose...

Anyways, that is an update on our lives.  If you are reading this, please pray for a divine intervention in our trailer being ready and prepared before baby.  I know God's timing IS perfect and we will get it setup whether before or after baby, but I would really LOVE to have at least a few things ready for when we come home with our new addition.

In the meantime, here are a couple more pictures of where the trailer will be.  The dirt that was dug out was moved, and now a pile of gravel sits there ready to be put down and packed - last thing before the trailer can be set down! SO excited for our place to be at the ranch and yet it is crazy to me that time has come so fast!

These pictures do look very similar to the last ones but I assure you the site is more prepared!

  1. Love to hear the updates Laura. I am still thinking and praying for you. Where is the location of where the trailer is going? Near the house?
