Well I mailed in the application to Vermont today!! and Ohh! my god!! I was so nervous driving to the post office "did I do everything right", "do I have all the information", "what if I missed something". I checked over this petition about 20 times, I rewrote, reworded, and stressed through the whole process of putting it together. The end result was one of the greatest pieces of art I've put together yet!!

My situation is a little different because I actually needed to send information regarding IMBRA, since I have 3 or more convictions relating to alcohol..stupid Andy (smack) stupid Andy. Well, I figured I would type a full page letter for each conviction explaining all that happened and put court terms into understandable terms. I really outdid myself. I only sent in certified court records with charges and disposition, I hope all will go well. We surely will see......sooner or later!!

Well, It feels good either way to finally have the process started. I guess it's time to sit back and react!!

good luck to everyone!!!!

AndyMisiu and crayon, I agree with what you guys said regarding mailing off your petition. I was actually shaking when I took my petition to the post office, I am not kidding you. As I filled out the info. on the certified mail label and return receipt, my hands were shaking so much, I was embarrassed that someone would notice. :D

That's why I love this site so much. Everything you guys went through, I did also (or will be going through). It feels great knowing that you are not in this whole process alone and that the entire VJ community is there to assist you along the way, whether it's moral support or simply telling you what they answered on a particular question. Thanks guys, I really don't know what I would have done without this site, you guys are amazing. :dance:

By the way, best of luck to you AndyMisiu
