I have mailed application for my DS(5) week ago. I guess, yesterday was their cutoff for this month.
Is there anybody else that just sent their application in?
I am suspecting, this is not going to be an easy waiting time for me. How did you or do you deal with the waiting?

Did they let you know they recieved everything? I was down to the wire getting ours in on Oct. 13th. I emailed them on the 15th to see if they had everthing. They emailed me back to confirm they have it all. Now the waiting begins...

I like to get some exercise outside when I'm anxious about something. This helps. Also keep busy. Do you have any closets to organize?

I heard they were busy this month and are responding a little slower. Good luck.

I did not email them. And I did not received any notification from them. Maybe I should. Just to make sure that they have it.
Do they normally notify you, that they received everything, even if one does not send them an email, asking?

Good luck to you too, I will do some heavy duty running and deep cleaning. LOL.

They emailed me to let me know that they have everything. Now I guess I just wait

Welcome Jamie to the waiting club!
Although, I did not received any email yet....so maybe I will have to wait till the next cut off.
I just sent them an email, so we will see.

I hope it is not too long of a wait. But if I recall correctly they don't look at the application until they have the recommendations.

I am on the same boat. I mailed the application and got "delivery confirmation" on October 9th. I know one of her letters had been mailed earlier than that, and another one was faxed on the 14th.

Niki, I also have not heard from them, but another family we know sent it on the 13th and they got confirmation from Davidson. I emailed them yesterday afternoon.

I am getting nervous with little things like not knowing that they got everything!

I feel the same, mam.
We sent them and email, to see if DS's app is in for this month or not.
I just remembered that I sent it priority with delivery confirmation. According to the post office confirmation, they would received it on Oct. 13th at 5pm. When I was sending it, I thought I have so much time, I guess I did not figured a post office holiday into the equation. LOL.
Maybe they just received so many last minute apps, that it takes some time to confirmed them via email. I am hoping...

Similar to us then, but ours did get in almost at 5 pm on Friday, then I figured Monday might have been a holiday for them, then it was Tuesday, give them some time, now it is Friday!

I hope we both get responses to the emails soon!

We received an email Tues that they had everything. I had forgotten about the Monday holiday until Friday evening. I had to send Express Mail. I'm going to just be relieved that I got it all in for awhile before I get nervous again...
