Another day and another two days back.  Do timelines ever move forward?  LOL   From mid September pushing towards October...looks like their first white Christmas will be next year.  The wait is tough but soon we will all be with our loved ones and the next batch of people will be doing what we are doing now.

 

Here's to a pick up in the number of files processed soon!!!!

Yep. Ours has gone from the last week of September to the end of October. Sigh. But it's still just an estimate. 

Im going to Chicago to see my fiancé next month so that's something for us to look forward to.
