Whoo Hoo - I have a referral
 I have been pretty quiet but appreciate all the info that you all shared. The referral came on Day 332 my new favorite number. Maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket! I know so many are still wiating so I am sharing just to let you know things are still moving oh so very slowly. Best wishes to all of the other waiters. Here's hoping you get to feel these feelings very soon.

That's great news! We haven't had many posts on referrals or trips lately. It is really exciting to read two posts on it today. Enjoy that exciting feeling. I know it well!
