Thank you Marie and you too. If I could change anything in the past nine months.... I wish I had not stressed about the whole thing as much as I had. Easy to say now and I totally understand how this takes over your life - how it took over mine.
As much as I just want this done, I understand that nonsense process and will follow the tracks that are infront of me... dotting my i's and crossing my t's. As much as I hate it and would rather have rebelled, I am glad that I did not and just went along with the twisted process even when it did not make sense.
I am not done and not holding my breath, but feel confident that the horizon is out there... may take more than the two months Chase said and I am okay with that now.
