News.

A new ray of hope arrived last Thursday in the form of yet another interview, this time via phone.  And so I was prepared to wait for several more days to get a final word on the status of my candidacy.  This time, however, I underestimated the quickness of the decision process:  the final call took place on Friday afternoon.

It caught me by surprise, walking home, thinking about the long weekend about to start and some repairs needed to be taken care of at home.  When I heard the news, my lungs filled with joy and excitement, my eyes with tears.

Seeing the smile in my husband's face was the best reward I could have asked for.  We have had a five-day weekend to celebrate, make plans, enjoy the weight off our shoulders......and the best is yet to come.
