I was SOOOO excited on Monday morning to see that referrals got through 2/15! Yes, this means that we are finally next! We should see Lauren's sweet face by mid-November at the latest, but probably earlier.
I feel like I have lots of things to do now that we KNOW it won't be long. There are still things we wanted to get done before our referral. Gosh, where has the past three years gone? Life on hold...yup. I need to kick it into high gear now!
By the way, check out my sidebar countdown calendar...doesn't it look great with all those days marked off?

I can hardly wait to finaly see Lauren's face so I can only imagine how excited you are!! It won't be long now. And, just wait, until after you get your referral and you are waiting to travel! You will have about 10,000 things to do before you leave the country and you'll wonder what the heck you've been doing all this time!
I am so excited for you -- and everyone with a 2/17 LID. (There seems to be a lot of you!) Can't wait to see those gorgeous faces and follow your journeys.
