He made you such a strong woman and has given you many trials but, rest assured, He will never give you more than you can handle. His love for us is never-ending and your perfect match will be with you at the perfect time!<BR/>Much love to you and your family during this season of celebration, thanksgiving and rebirth.Linda ★ Parker's Generalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06580449029112777882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37100528.post-26252130840817391992008-11-20T18:59:00.000-05:002008-11-20T18:59:00.000-05:00Hi RMJ -- We "found" Ally after being LID for MANY...Hi RMJ -- We "found" Ally after being LID for MANY months from a WC list. Just so you know, from the day we submitted LOI for her, we celebrated "gotcha" exactly 2 months after that! Yes, at this point (I'm assuming you are thru review?), it goes very quickly -- 2 or 3 months tops! That part could be exciting!
