Yet another layer of "in-between"

For over a month we have been in the limbo between getting the seller's approval and getting the bank's approval on the short sale we are trying to pull off. Now our agent has informed us that, within that bank approval, we are in between one lender's approval and the second lender's approval. We should get the second approval next week. And we should close on the house before the end of September. I am holding my breath!
