After a week of taking that excited walk to the mailbox, just to walk back bummed out, it finally came. The packet from the DPS arrived today with my application. I filled it out last Saturday online, so it took 9 days, or basically a business week. That's about what I expected, but that doesn't mean I wasn't wishing it would be shorter. So now I can get the packet back to them completed and wait some more.
So here I am, trying my best to be patient. I'll keep you posted!
