And It's Off!

Too bad we couldn't look cuter for the picture below. We're a bit sick over here. I am the worst. I've been hacking all day. It's not pretty but this is the state we're in at the moment. Out of three pictures this was the best. I really didn't have any more energy to try to convince the kids that mommy's blog deserved a picture with them smiling and that this same pic would be used in brothers scrap book, "so sit still and love this, darn it!" so this is what I've got to work with people! ( I seriously cannot believe I posted a picture of myself sans makeup! Honestly, 5 years ago you would have had to kill me first. I guess I have grown in some ways and regressed in others. I can't decide which category this case would fall under.) BUT BACK TO THE POINT take a good look at this photo because those three stacks of papers consists of our original dossier and two complete copies which....

We officially mailed off this evening. It should arrive at our agency's VA corporate office Monday morning. We were bummed that we couldn't finish everything up soon enough to have our dossier go out with the over night packages for today, and if we had chosen to overnight them tomorrow they would arrive at the office on Saturday when no one would be there anyway, so we just went ahead and sent it to arrive on Monday.

We are so excited! The kids are too. It's so hard to explain to them that now we are officially going to begin the wait and that all this other waiting was just the warm up round!
