Still No Letter

Okay, this blog serves notice to all my readers, that I am officially worrying, fretting, nervousing (yes, I know that's not a word!), and stressing. The application deadline for ABWE candidate seminar was June 15th, and being the good procrastinator (he wouldn't call it that, I'm sure) that he is, my husband barely managed to squeak his final papers in at the last minute - by fax no less. As a matter of fact, he still has one college transcript to turn in.

I checked our status last weekend and saw that the candidate committee met on the 22nd. Expecting to get our acceptance letter any day, I've been anxiously checking the mail. Nothing. Today I checked our status again and they met again on the 29th. Now wether this is good news or bad news I do not know, but it makes me a little nervous.

We are leaving exactly six days from today. I have cancelled my piano lessons for three Mondays and Jason has had to find pulpit replacement at church. I've signed up to have our mail held. He's told his family we will be visiting them for two days after the conferences are done. My parents are planning to have the kids at their house for nine days during the first conference.

Jason called them right after I found out about the second meeting, because we realized even if they mailed our letter today, we wouldn't get it until at least Monday and possibly Wednesday (b/c of the holiday). That wouldn't give us much time to confirm or change our plans, depending on what the letter says.

So, now we wait, because the woman who could answer our question was not available. I hope she is availabe some time today or I will really be stressed out!
