Referral Day Video

Warning - this video may make you cry (it still makes me cry). Disclaimer - please excuse my puffy eyes, no makeup, flat hair, shaky voice, whimpered crying and the extra 30 pounds the camera added on to me. Hee, hee. ;) Basically, I look like a mess. I was completely exhausted from crying and from the tons of phone calls I made and e-mails I sent that day. Well, no matter how I look, it was one of the best moments of my life (and Doug's!).
