i am stunned and relieved and just... there are no words... haha yeah right, i've got words!

HELL FREAKIN' YEAH BABY! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

the email came at 8:15pm... missed it because hubby and i were watching 'narnia'. :blush:

he was beat from work and went to bed. i was about to join him but i stopped to check my mail.

i had to blink a few times to make sure it wasn't my fertile imagination. :innocent:

2 emails from CRIS. i was just praying it wasn't an RFE. all i saw was 'welcome letter' and i started celebrating.

so now i am hoarse from screaming, my eyes are red from crying, and jigga was awakened by me jumping on

him and screaming at the top of my lungs. i made him read the email but he didn't understand what it was about (since it just said 'a welcome letter was mailed' instead of saying it was approved). after a few minutes his brain woke all the way up and he understood what was going on... gave a big sigh and hug... then rolled over and went back to sleep. :blush: so i am sitting in front of the laptop grinning stupidly and he is snoring. though i am sure his dreams will be so much sweeter now... as will mine :star:

knowing him, he will forget and i will have to remind him in the morning! :lol::lol::lol::lol:

i have to say a HUGE thank you to everyone that have been so wonderful...

from my VSC K1 crew to my AOS Philly Crew to my AOS CSC crew, even the OT crew... you guys are amazing and your advice, jokes, support and reality checks made such a difference.

now i need to sleep this high off... :whistle:

MUCH LUV TO ALL :luv: , and best of luck to the rest of my CSCers... (Stina, its Monday for sure! :thumbs: )

can't wait to have that piece of plastic in my hot lil hands... better get my name right! :lol:
