Our senator's office called first thing this morning ! Evidently DH's name was spelled wrong and the person trying to help us was having trouble getting any info for us. After clearing it up she said that our clearance should be finished today and the approval in the mail tomorrow ! I was SO not expecting it to happen so fast but VERY happy that it did.
Now we just wait for it to show up in the mailbox. I can't imagine what that will be like when I finally see the letter there.....everyday when I go through the mail I hold my breath looking to see the return address on every envelope.

It terribly windy and cold here today, didn't sleep well last night due to a bad cold and all the noise that the wind was making. I tried to take a nap but I'm too excited about the phone call this morning......I'll be a mess until we actually get the approval!
