To say I was excited is an understatement. I was doing my happy dance as best I could with a sore, stiff back.

Seriously, this is a lifelong dream come true for me. There was one accomplishment in my life that I yearned to fulfill and that dream is going to come to fruition sometime in the next year when I will be able to hold the book, see the cover and smell the pages.
