Unsettled Settling

It has been a long time since the last post. I had thought to add one last comment in July once we moved in to our new home in Massachusetts. However, June, July, and August have turned out to be three of the more difficult months of our lives so far. So I think I might pick back up again for a while.
We had housing plans fall through at the very last minute at the beginning of July. We desperately worked to line up new housing plans, but this caused us to delay the final move-in date by almost a month. We moved in to discover our new place required a lot more work than we had expected for the rental rates. The net result is that we arrived in Massachusetts already feeling like we were behind schedule in our preparations for seminary and in finding work. Since our arrival, almost everything has taken longer and turned out to be far more expensive than we had anticipated. I believe our 're-entry' shock has finally caught up with us! Actually attempting to settle back in the USA has turned out to be much more complicated than we had expected - not that the first few months of settling in Scotland were a breeze! It feels like we solve one problem only to graduate to a bigger one. I know that we will eventually get through all of this, but in the moment there are times of serious discouragement.
