Sept/Oct referrals--May 18th

well it seems the rumor is that they have done referrals to May 18th. Uuggghhh! we missed it by one day, one day! So this means we are next. "When" that will be, we're not sure. they kind of skipped over September, referrals should be coming out around sept 30/oct 1. yes, that means no one on this entire planet got a referral this september. so if they mail these referrals out and they arrive October 1st, this will probably count for October's batch, which means sometime in november we can expect ours.
We are next! We are next!

the wait

i was recently thinking about how our lives have changed OR have not changed in the last 4 years since we started waiting. what were YOU doing differently in 2006? it seems like this waiting has become a part of our lives and is somehow hard to believe it will not be there in a few more months. all the paperwork, the slow downs, the Olympics, the slow downs, H1N1, rumors, theories, more paperwork, skipped months, quotas, fingerprinting, and counting down the days to our log in date of May 19th. waiting is hard to do and our wait has been long but it made us stronger and made us focus on what is important.

we still live in the same house and have the same cars. i've had two jobs but now i no longer work outside the home. p has changed departments 2-3 times and has moved from building 1 to building 2 to building 3 and is now back to building 1 again. we have done a ton of traveling and we even went to the west coast, a place i swore i would never go. We have had several close friends and family die. We went to vietnam and met the most amazing little boy ever. We have a beautiful son!

the wait is almost over. a new chapter will finally begin.
