Getting to be referral time again

The buzz is that referrals have been mailed from China and are up to November 21st 2005 and we will be just 15 days away with our LID of 12/6/05. They have been referring a week a time lately. There was a hint of excitement over a rumor that referrals would be up to and include November 22nd. There are a ton of people logged that day so that would have been huge. Also it would mean that an October referral was in the bag for us, but alas it was not meant to be. So we continue to be on the cusp for October and really thinking that we will see our picture in November...bummer.

But there was quite a bit of good news today on other fronts. My new office is ready and I will be moving in next week. This is such a relief after 10 years of commuting and now my commute will be less than a 1/3 of what it was. the 2nd piece of good news was that Sienna was called for enrollment at her new preschool where we have been on the list for 8 months. I had pretty much written this off but her getting in solves so many potential issues with temple preschool which includes being closed often and lack of infant/toddler care for our new little one to name a few.

Also it looks like I may have nabbed a giant fish and right now I am getting all kinds of kudos for this prospect at work. If this goes it is a $15MM-$30MM relationship in loans and a huge depository. This would literally make my year and take off a lot of pressure while we are in China. Keep your fingers crossed. John had a great job interview so hopefully...I don't want to jinx anything. Keep you all posted.
