Hello! This update is quite delayed, but we've been moving! We made it safely to the states and both of our puppies made the trip and were VERY happy to get out of their carriers. I think they played for 4 hours straight when we let them run around during the day. During the first week, Arm and I were watching the sun come up every morning since jet lag was hitting us. We generally got up around 5:30am and starting to feel sleepy around 7:00pm and fighting to stay awake by 8:30 or 9pm. We're very thankful that jet lag is over!
Since then, we've been visiting some people, learning how to live in America, trying to stay warm (the temperature difference is about 40-50 degrees between Thailand and America), and finding Asian markets.
Arm has found a fishing buddy and has enjoyed going fishing a couple of times a week and we've been eating his catch. We've made fried rice with fish and we also fried some of it. There's actually some in the fridge right now that we have to cook. We're hoping fishing will put off the getting bored stage. He gets a social security card and a green card with his visa, but we're hoping it'll get here this week. He can't get a job or even a driver's license until he has a social security card, so please pray for all of that to work out quickly as he's kind of anxious to drive. He's also made a doghouse with my dad and I think he and I are going to do the other one tomorrow. We also took a day trip to Memphis and found out Arm enjoys BBQ, which is almost a must for living in Memphis, TN.
My parents also allowed us to turn one room upstairs into a mini living room for us so that we can have some more privacy, so it's like we have most of the upstairs, which is a huge blessing! and kept us busy with something else this week.
Please pray that we'll be able to find at least part-time jobs fairly quickly. I'm supposed to have an interview at the store my mom works at this week, which will be nice to keep some money flowing in. Pray that God will provide for all our needs and Arm will adjust well to the USA. The first month is probably the easiest.
Thank you all for all of your support and prayers. We really appreciate them. If you know of any part-time jobs or ESL positions, please contact us!
