The waiting is officially getting to me! I feel like I am about to jump out of my skin. If you will notice the ticker above, we have gone 64 days without any news. I really thought that we would be preparing for travel this month. Which can still happen. When people ask "when are you going to Vietnam" Mark has started saying in April. I refuse to say that yet...I still say, at the end of March. Our director should be back from Vietnam today. We figure she will have jet lag and won't make it to the office until the end of the week. I am sure she will have to sort through all the pictures and info, so we might hear something by next week. (Of course I am hoping she does it faster and we hear something at the end of the week.)
Best case senario, our paper work has already headed to Hanoi and we just didn't hear about it before Tet. It could happen. The more likely senario, our paper work is now on its way to Hanoi, so it could be another 4 weeks before we hear news of travel. Worse case senario.......I really don't even want to think about it......but nothing has happened with our paperwork. But I just refuse to believe that. When I was asked to make a guess when our G&R date will be, I said April 4. Although, I am still holding out for late March. I am just trying to be sensible and prepare myself for April.
At work, I am preparing and acting like I will be leaving after spring break. So I am working hard to get things in order to be gone for at minimum, 12 weeks. Plus doing all this work keeps me from obsessing over checking email for news and checking the forum for good news, or just dwelling on the fact that I have no news! So, here I sit, all alone, with no news!
Last night I had a dream that we were not able to travel with our group because we had forgotten to complete 1 piece of paper work. I was so upset! I woke up this morning, upset and mad. So I have to stop dreaming like that so that people at work won't suffer. I did start feeling better. That is what 6 hours alone in a copy room will do for you. I guess I will watch American Idol and other shows saved on my DVR to keep my mind occupied this evening. Pray for me! I am struggling!

Oh Kim, I wish I could give you good news...you are certainly due for some! That angst is fresh in my mind. It's completely terrible, there's just no other way to put it. No words can describe it and the only people who can truly understand are those who have been there...or those who are going through it with you like your Can Tho buddies. Thank goodness you all have each other!! You are in my prayers.
It's so hard! I don't have anything clever to say... Praying for you guys...
Please hold our hands through it when we get there!
I am right there with you. I think the next person that asks when we will be going I will probably cry. I am hoping that our paperwork has moved too. Hang in there.
Oh it is so hard! And tell your husband to keep saying March!! Tomorrow is March and hopefully good news. I pray for you and the other Can Tho girls daily. I can't wait for the updates this next week. We will get through this...........it's just so hard right now.
