Have you ever waited for something for so long you cant believe its real when it finally happens? I am not talking about a year wait. Im talking about years, even a decade. This is where I find myself. Moses is here with me. He is legally here in the United States. We live at the same address. We have the same time zone, we even stare at the same clock.

He is here.

I actually feel married, even though we have been married for years. Part of me is still in shock and the other part of me is relieved. This weight I’ve carried for years…gone. That is a peaceful feeling. I can breathe and relax. He has been here for some weeks. The transition has been slow. America is a lot to take in all at once. It’s overwhelming for him. Overall, Moses is doing everything very well.

More stories about the transition and arrival are to come. First, I just wanted to announce that he is here publicly. Please pray for us. Moses needs a job.  I’m often tired after my long days at work. I don’t feel like being the teacher of American culture. We are all adjusting to a new way of life together. It’s beautiful and fun. I finally get to live my life with my best friend.

Finally, Moses and I would not be here today if it wasn’t for all of you that I have supported us. Thank you for the constant care and prayers through the years. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We will never take you for granted. We still need you now as we grow. Thank you.
