My turn to wait

My wife and I got our class knocked out this past Saturday (still peeved about shooting a 248, being the perfectionist that I am) and got all the paperwork together and in the mail this morning. I had a last minute question regarding how to submit some additional documentation to hopefully avoid delays in the processing. I am glad to report that the people at DPS were helpful in answering my questions quickly.
Now begins the dreaded wait. Obviously, this is more painful for me than it is for her
The countdown begins...

It seems like they are turning these things out overnight anymore...as long as they have not seen your picture on the evening news in the last few days, they print it out and mail it.
Yeah, irritates me how fast they are doing it now...but the people a few years ago had it a lot worse.

The wait is about a month, so in the meantime.
Check the DPS website everyday, ya know you will
Become obsessed with this forum, it happens don't fight it
Find a holster, or two, or three
Carry around your house to get used to the feeling

Haha so true. I have been on DPS and this forum multiple times a day. Still waiting on them to finish my background check.

Well, mine showed background check pending as of mid last week. My wife's on the other hand didn't even show recieved until this morning.
Now I just have to convince myself to quit checking so often
At least I now have both our DL and SS #'s permanently memorized!

You say that, but you'll still check. And yeah I won't be forgetting my DL or SS anytime soon either.

One day you'll type in his social and your dl # and that person will have already got their plastic
that is when you call your representative.
