Waiting...

Marc and I are now in Nancy, having arrived here last Tuesday. We are staying in the flat of some friends who are away at the moment, and another friend has been lending us her car. We are very thankful for this, especially as flat-finding has turned out to be a longer process than we thought.

We found a flat we liked easily enough, but then discovered that (probably since new laws have been passed recently) we had to give in a form with a whole lot of documents to be able to "apply" for the flat. We asked how long it would take, and the receptionist was a bit vague, and said that her boss was on holiday but they were still sending her things. She was sympathetic to our situation ... but that isn't going to help much!

We have been enjoying catching up with friends - and it sounds like the kids have been having a lovely time with their grandparents near Paris - but the wait is getting frustrating! While we appreciate the novelty of having some child-free time, I am starting to miss them, and don't like the idea that I don't know how long it is until I'll see them again! (We can't really bring them here until we have a flat and a minimum of furniture.)

Anyway, I am trying to trust that it will all fall into place in God's timing, because I know it will, whether it is this flat or another!

Here are the two of us in Place Stanislas:
