Provincial Approval!!!

Well, they say crime doesn't pay, but I don't know... I emailed Anne Scully last Friday and said, "Look, I understand you're busy, but I'd really like my approval, and so if you don't mind, I'll send my mam to come and pick it up!" Stalking works, apparently! Because I got it in the mail today, postmarked Friday! So there you go! If you're waiting for Alberta Provincial approval, call Anne a couple of times to make things happen! I know that she's busy and short-staffed and what-not, but it's hard to be patient when so much is on the line.
Anyway, just wanted to share the good news! Just a couple of other things to wait for and we'll be ready to send off the whole shabang to Imagine.

I did celebrate (kind of). I called some family and just generally breathed a sigh of relief!
