A few more LID's down

Phone calls are coming in for my April 2006 mates! China referred April 1st-3rd...this batch size really sucks because April 1st and 2nd is a weekend, so really, China only issued 1 day of referrals. People are FREAKING out over on RQ; based on previous averages, there is no reason they shouldn't have processed 4-5 days. I'm trying to maintain my "chi" and faith right now.

This puts Doug and I at 23 log in dates away; divided by 3 = July/August referral, divided by 4 = May/June. 3 Days processed is the current average per month...unless the orchestrated slow down, slows further. GAWD, I hope not...how much more can 2 people bear?

Adoption unrelated: I am officially registered for the 2010 Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon and Doug is headed to Orlando to support me in this adventure. Last Saturday I reached mile 9 in the training program and for some reason, it was much easier than 8 miles. This is my 1st Half Marathon and I'm a newbie runner, only been at it since May 2009!

Worst Case Scenario

Ok, we are in the Worst Case Scenario box on RQ's website and I am SIKED. Crazy to be so excited, but things just might be looking up for us in 2010. Our LID is 4.26.06, so it looks like March or April???

The Climb

There is a music player at the bottom of this page and I'm not ashamed to admit I like Miley Cyrus. :) This song is my new anthem.

Finally...

March 2006 is D-O-N-E. We are 26 LID's away, but China continues to process only 3-4 LID's per month. 2010 is our year, but the "When" is very much up in the air. Best case April, worst case July?

Our fingers are wrapped around the rollercoaster bar so tight, we just may lose circulation!
