OH YEAH!

This is how I feel this morning! I lost 4.8 pounds this week!

I was just hoping to break even after the gain last week - but a loss like this is just icing on the cake. Pardon my pun!


I know everyone is tired of reading about my weight loss journey, so I'll talk about our other journey - Lily Anne! Referrals from China are going to be coming in any day. 'Rumor' has it that referrals may go through to January 4, 2006. Right now people have been waiting about 25 to 26 months from LID to referral.

Kevin and I will be going to Chicago this Spring. Neither one of us have ever been. It's going to be fun. Hopefully it will also lift our spirits in the adoption. We will be attending an "East meets West" conference. Our agency does two conferences a year. Usually in the Spring and in Fall. So, we're going to learn about the culture of China, traveling tips, and we're going to meet other families that are waiting to adopt or have already adopted from China. I'm really excited!
