ReplyDeleteReferrals are here!
The day your lives changed FOREVER!
Congratulations!
I actually remember the day you got your referral....I was a lurker back then and did not blog myself.....yours was one of the first blogs that I followed! What a glorious day it was.....and I loved that you captured the moment on video for all of us to see!! Who would have thought....TWINS!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your timeline.....I know it seemed like a long wait when you thought it was only going to be 6 months. One year seemed like forever....who would have thought that we would still be waiting almost THREE years later!
Enjoy your Sunday!
