Well, its that time of the month. No, not that time of the month!
IT'S REFERRAL TIME! Referrals have arrived for the month and it looks like the CCAA has sent non expedited NSN (Non Special Needs) referrals out for LIDs(Log In Date) for November 26th, 2005 through at least November 30th, 2005. The cut off date has not been announced yet but that is everyone's best guess as of right now. That was a very disappointing amount of referrals for non expedited families. And, my heart goes out to those with early December 2005 LIDs.
BUT... the interesting part that concerns Mok and I, is that the CCAA referred out 2 months worth of LIDs for families of Chinese heritage. (FYI: That's Mok!!!) So, they have referred out July and August of 2006!!!! WOO HOO!!! August 2006 families were definitely surprised. It just goes to show that you can never tell what will happen in international adoption. So, as of yesterday we were figuring about 9 more months until we received our referral... but now with only 2.5 months of LIDs ahead of us... who knows??? Only time will tell. Hmmmm? I don't even know what to think at this point???
PS. Our LID is 11-17-06

"THE GARAGE-MA-HALL"...work update

Just walking -n- talking....
Maybe this is a new Olympic event???

What is a garage-ma-hall, you ask??? Well, this one is an 8 car garage with a loft style "office, gathering space, and kitchenette" on the second floor with a balcony and roof deck. It sounds kind of mundane right now but check back for the "fire escape stair" installation.
