Alright...I've held this in until I turned blue! I also hate being a tease
A couple of days ago, I came home to find a a package on my porch. My heart started pounding as soon as I saw it! And by the time I saw that it was from "Jane Eyre," I was nearly hyperventilating. I left my hubby to carry all the stuff in from the car plus our baby, and I ripped into the box.
The first word I saw was...CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I started jumping around like a loon and squealing. My husband gave me a big hug, and he took me out to celebrate.
And here's the best part. My acceptance letter came on my birthday! I will always remember the exact date of my own personal "bid day."
I didn't let you all know immediately because I wanted to tell my "Little Women" helper first, out of respect for her and her organization. I waited for her reply e-mail because I wanted to be certain that she didn't read the news on my GC thread first. I have made a decision to not reveal the name of "Little Women." I have received private messages saying that the organization wasn't being fair by letting me hang there, etc. But I can say with complete sincerity that Little Women did nothing wrong, and I have nothing but admiration and respect for them. The delays were all the kinds of things that life brings. My contact person got married and moved. I changed states myself and took time off to have a baby. Officers changed. Policies changed. The entire structure of the organization even went through a few changes. If I had been willing to wait, something might have happened for me and Little Women...maybe, maybe not. But once I was introduced to Jane Eyre and got to know a few sisters, I knew that I had found my Home. Not THE ONE AN ONLY home, but the place that I choose to call my own.
I have so much more to say, but I'm gonna leave you with that to digest.
Thank you, everyone, for your undying support.
