Today was much easier than the past two days, just a four-hour drive, and we successfully completed our Nexus interviews, which went much more smoothly than I expected.

Afterward, we crossed the border and settled into an Airbnb for the night. I’m so thankful to God for arranging such a well-priced and beautiful place. It’s a whole guest house to ourselves, right by the ocean with a wonderful view.

We cooked steak tonight and watched Nefarious together. It was a perfect family evening. Just before bed, I accidentally locked the bathroom door. Since it was late, I didn’t want to bother the host, so the three of us searched high and low for something small enough to unlock it. After an hour of effort, my husband finally managed to open it, and I felt so relieved.

Surprisingly, I don’t feel bad or guilty for causing trouble. Instead, I feel normal, even warm, seeing this as a unique memory for us. This new perspective on myself feels fresh and freeing, and I really like it.
