OMG We got Preapproval!!!!!!!

I took my daughter to her yearly physical today with her doctor, so I did not check my email before we left. We just returned and I decided to check our email. The very first email was our preapproval. Thank you God for hearing our prayers, now to just get out of Family court. Thanks for letting my share our good news.

It's so funny, when I was updating the list this morning I looked at your name and said "I should PM her and ask what's up because she should have her PA by now". Congrats.
