Hakuna Matata

Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures, from the crawling ant, to the leaping antelope.

What a wonderful evening! We were lucky enough to see the Broadway production of The Lion King at the Keller Auditorium this last week, what an incredible performance. The costumes were vibrant with amazing detail, and the actors had such powerful and beautiful voices. Everyone enjoyed the show.

We decided to eat some Ethiopian food before the show. Since we have been crossing off the various restaurants on our list we decided to eat at the En'Joni Cafe. We had a fabulous dinner and the staff were so friendly. The food was outstanding and we loved all the beautiful artwork everywhere. We plan to return to return on a sunday to take part in their Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony. 

"Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase. Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze. It means no worries for the rest of your days. It's our problem-free philosophy. Hakuna Matata!"

This week we finally broke down and called CIS (immigration) to see where we were on the list. We submitted our application at the beginning of May and at that time the current wait was 4-8 weeks to received your I-171-H. Unfortunately we just passed our 8th week of waiting. So when I asked the "Officer" what position we were on the list it was hard not to be disappointed when we were told "number 13" and they had only processed three applications in the last week. After a brief sigh,  we reminded ourselves not to get caught up in the worry and focus of the various wait times involved on this journey. We know in our heart that we will met our child at the perfect time in all of our lives.
