Talking It's Ab-o-u-t Time!

Wanting to share our news so it may give those of you waiting some hope. We are officially out of PGN as of today!!!!

Our entry date into PGN was 12/15/06 and to our knowledge, we had no kickouts. The wait was difficult so I know how all of you are feeling and I pray for good news for all the forum friends no matter where you are in process!
