The day of our referral

I want to document here how we got our referral for Min Shan. It was a Tuesday, December 16th. It was one of those crazy busy weeks due to the holidays approaching. It was also the night of our annual neighborhood cookie exchange. I came home from work and had several phone calls. It was snowing lightly that evening. I wasn't feeling so hot, and I almost didn't go to the cookie exchange except that my friend Michelle had said to me that she would pick me up at 7:30. I had already spent the weekend before baking and I didn't want to disapoint my friend Joanne whose house it was at. I was running around trying to pack up my cookies, and get the rest of the recipes to print out. I had to clean up dinner, and get dressed yet by 7:30. The phone rang at 6:45 pm. It said JOH..WA. so I knew that it was Tien calling witht the good news. I remember looking at John and saying I can't answer that and he is says "answer that". Of course it was Tien with the great news that we had a referral of a beautiful baby girl Min Shan. So then I called Michelle to tell her that I wasn't going to drive with her... and of course the good news, and then Joanne, that I would be late to the cookie party... and the good news.

We had to download all of Min Shan's informatiion, pictures, video, make calls and finish wrapping the cookies to go. I did arrive at the cookie exchange around 8:30. My great friends were all there to great me with applause as I walked in. I felt like a rock star!! Thanks girls... then of course my peeps Joanne, Michelle, and Melissa had more referral gifts for Miss Paige.. they truly made her referral very, very special. And the cookie exchange, what I can remember of it because I am in a perpetual fog..., was excellent as usual.

Here are all the gals that baked...
