We only waited 6 months from LID to referral with Mallory. I really hope things will speed up some and that we will all be pleasantly surprised. All in God's timing.

I am so thankful for that. :)Adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10228548549291278914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37100528.post-89286023305109449822007-08-03T23:30:00.000-04:002007-08-03T23:30:00.000-04:00It is draining isn't it?
