RELIEVED!


As you can see, I am not a blogger. But for Sandi's sake, I am going to post tonite because I don't want to go down in history as "the worst blogger ever"....so here you go!
Today has been a long day filled with ups and down!
I completed my entire dossier today with the exception of one document that I am awaiting from my social worker, hopefully I will have it by the end of the week and mailed off to Austin for Authentication. So I am almost there...I can't wait to get it all sent off.
