Oh. My. God! Finally!

I understand that it's bittersweet for you but I'm sure that sooooooooooooo many of us on VJ are so happy and relieved for you. I took a deep breath before the April thread came up on my computer, and it was so wonderful to see, at LAST, that you've got your approval. If there's any justice in the world you'll set records getting through NVC!
