I GOT A DATE!! :)
WAAY cool!! Congrat's!! I HAD a date of 1-28 (temporarily delayed), and THAT seemed like it was just around the corner: you've got one foot in the door having a 1-16 date! Zikes! And you're right...prayer works wonders! My speed-bump isn't bothering me as badly as I'd've thought it would JUST because this entire trip has been an exercise in walking in faith while praying non-stop! I'll put your date on my monitor (all my "prayer requests" go on sticky notes on my monitor at work...) - you'll be fine! See ya on the losing side when I get my snag unravelled!!
