As I sit here contemplating whether I should return to bed or continue to bore the World (that would be you...again...Granny) with my totally random thoughts. Since I can't sleep, I will bore you!
First, I know that I must update the personal info on the Blog, since we are no longer living in Russia, but I can't! I want to, but I can't. OK, I physically can and I do know how, but I just don't know what to say..."We are The 4 Sullivans unemployed and wandering through the wilderness!"
Second, my thumb shakes. I just realized yesterday afternoon that my thumb, only my right thumb...my left is perfectly still, shakes when I hold my hand up. So...now I find myself every few minutes checking to see if my thumb is still shaking...and it is. I Googled "shaky thumb" and discovered that Bill Clinton also has a shaky thumb! I hope I don't need to hitch a ride soon or I will really be in trouble!!!
Third (and hopefully last), what should we do about Gideon? Why is he misbehaving at school? Why is he getting into fights? Is there a deeper issue? Is the school a safe place? Should I enroll in Kindergarten? Should I hire a body guard?
OK, I am off to bed!

What A Treasure
About Us
- The 4 Sullivans
- The journey of the 4 Sullivans began over 14 years ago and often resembled the life of nomads. The majority of our journey has been in Russia…learning the language, loving the people and sharing the hope found only in a relationship with Jesus Christ. We currently call Saint Petersburg home and love being able to share the great love of Christ with those around us.

JUST TO LET YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU AND I AM NEVER "BORED".
I know this must be a very trying time for you. I hope that you find direction soon (and a job, lol). I'm sorry that Gideon is having such trouble adjusting to school, too. I hope you got some sleep, and that you have a fresh perspective in the morning.
You're all in my prayers, too! Good luck and try to stay positive. I know it can be hard, but you are surrounded by many people who love you.
I'm bored to death! Haha I'm seriously missing our conversations. I'm sorry things are so difficult. I have a few ideas. email me! abjscott@yucca.net

I guess I should have taken Garrett over to your house since he was awake at the time you were typing this. LOL! So sorry that Gideon is having such a rough time.
I am someone that has been reading your blog for over a year and I have never been bored with your blog. I can only imagine what you guys are going through right now. I know you really want to go back to Russia and I am sorry that right now you can not. I will continue to keep your whole family in my prayers.
P.S. What happened to your belongings in Russia? Will they be shipped to the US for you?
Kristie!
We are praying for you guys. I know sometimes it's got to be incredibly frustrating with all the changes - but God is in Control - even when we can't see it, He is still there, He knows the path we take and when He has tried us, we will come forth as gold! (My LIFE verse - Job 23:10)
We are lifting Gideon up specifically. He has been through so many changes in the past 6 months or more - poor guy is probably trying to figure out ways to cope - just like we do as adults. We will continue to lift him and your whole family up in prayer.
Deanna
