<p>To those who have already received stuff in the mail, how long did it take for the materials to come after the email? Also, someone mentioned that they received an email attached with all of the papers, do they send those out with also the mailouts?</p>
<p>I am really excited and hoping to get everything in as quickly as I possibly can.</p>
<p>Congrats all! :)</p>
