referrals!!

Our agency is giving (or has given) out referrals this week!!
Congrats Kelly!! She has a precious bundle and is a 1st time Mom! We're all so excited as we've all been waiting for this all Month! Let's pray they get to travel before Christmas. Our agency is saying 3-4 months after referral to travel. I would LOVE to get our referral before Christmas. I just want to be home with the baby before spring but it may not be until then when we actually get to travel. You never know. We really aren't ready. I have a LOT of things to catch up on. We are going to move the spare bedroom into the basement (my old office) and then the new babies room will be upstairs with her brother and sister. The 2-girls will have a jack and jill bathroom. With at least 4 years between them that should be ok. There will be 10 years between the baby and her brother so when he moves on to college (U of I!!) she could always have his room. When he's 18 she'll only be 8!!! Just thinking about it makes me sad! He's a mama's boy, maybe he'll want to live at home awhile. But not too long! I will teach him how to be independent just like my Mama did! (Or was that me CRAVING it?) I couldn't wait to get my own place. I just turned 18 and didn't even mind only having mac n cheese and eggs around to eat for awhile. I had my freedom! College kids these days seem to have it way easier. My first car was a rust bucket! White mustang. And it was the one I wanted! I didn't ask for much. I just needed a car to get back and forth to the 3-jobs I had while going to school full-time. Two cars later (after a dodge horizon) I bought (with a loan) a 2-seater, stick shift, with a sunroof! I loved it! It was a Ford EXP. Last Ford I ever bought! Then I worked in the car business and bought my very first new car, a Honda CRX. It was burgandy with black leather interior and sunroof. Loved it! Then I had a red mazda mx3 (i think), then a purple mazda mx3, then a icky green mazda 626, then I bought a burgandy blazer to be more practical for my husband, then a silver volkswagon passat, loved that car! Then I had a white extended Envoy that I kept for a winning length of time-4-years! My husband couldn't believe I got rid of that, well my father -in law has it, and the car I'm driving now I bought out of spite. (another story), hubby bought a car on ebay and I was NOT happy about it. Well not really mad just a little taken back so I went a bidding between 4 dealerships online and had it delivered to my house 5-days later. And guess what? Hubby's deal fell through!! That's what you get!
How did I get on this????? Can you tell I love cars? Some day when I'm old and the kids are older (I didn't say grown) I want a little convertable, black or white. Problem is the kind I always like only have 2-seats and that's not exactly practical with the kids. Hey Mom maybe the hubby is rubbing off on me! He is her favorite. He grounds me. She always says, "What's J. think?" Like what I think doesn't matter! We better get the MAN'S opinion. His Mom said the best thing to me the other day. "I'm so impressed with what you've done to my Son!" I HAD to tell my Mom that one. She said, "Why would she say something like that? He's such a great guy, you're so lucky to have him." I don't believe in luck. You make it what it is. Whew. I got way off subject tonight.
Let's all cheer for the referrals!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yea! And congrats!!
