Thanks for all the positive thoughts :) Keep your chin up everyone!!! Like I said previously, it took me applying multiple times over the years before I finally got acknowledged. I got my email today with my congratulatory letter and worksheet.....I am still reeling that it really happened!! I have never known anyone at my facility who has gotten it , but I had heard rumors in the past. The amount of taxes though took me by surprise, as it is quite sizable !! I look forward to reading more good news out there and I am sending positive thoughts out to everyone!!!
