    Thats great! Good luck blashlee.. I hope mine is approved that quick.

    Thank you!

    If your ins co takes a long time just stay on them. A lot of insurance companies will drag their feet or create roadblocks to avoid paying and they hope you'll just give up. Never give up, you're paying for insurance for a reason.
