A/N: Thank you so much to all of you who have been reading my story, especially to those of you who have been kind enough to take time out of your busy schedules to post reviews. Words can't express how much I appreciate you all and your kind support during this endeavor on my first fanfiction, really on my first solo story of any kind! :D

First off, let me apologize that I haven't posted a chapter in several weeks. I've been slowly writing this story over 2 years and, truth be told, ran out of finished and post-ready chapters. And over the past three months, I've had maybe a total of five days off, for which paycheck-wise I've been very glad, but it isn't exactly conducive for creativity and writing, not to mention the family visiting from out of state for the Christmas season, so my days off really went to them. :D

I post this not to complain, but to explain my tardiness, to thank you for your patience, and to assure you that I have not finished writing "Becoming Unbroken"—there are still a handful of chapters left to go. (For those who have requested further adventures for our favorite couple and the new Jedi Council, tune in later for the sequel I am planning to write. Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel… ;) O:D )

This week is the first time I've had real time off in a while and plan to use it to finish up the adventure we've begun together. By the way, part of that is due to the fact that I was hired as a seasonal employee, and am still waiting to hear back if I'm going to be kept. I really like this job, I love the team I work with, I love the encouraging environment, such an amazing combination to come by in a workplace these days, so I'd like to ask you to please pray for me that God allows me to keep my job in any capacity! Again thank you all so much for your patience, your encouragement, your reviews, praise, and prayers! It means the world to me! :D I hope to have the next chapter written and posted within a week or two. :D By the way, on that note, shout out to guest-reviewer "ILoveCarthAtton" for your brilliant insight and inspiring idea for the subject matter of this upcoming chapter! You brought up something I hadn't even considered, and that will now play into the storyline! Thanks!

Lots of love to you all! I hope you continue to enjoy "Becoming Unbroken" as we all (including me) now enter unexplored territory! Uber hugs! And Happy New Year and Merry Christmas! (a little late, but still… O:D )

P.S. Thank you all for helping my story to reach and exceed 8000 hits! Never in my wildest dreams did I think my story would make 800, let alone 8000! Here's looking forward to 10,000 hits! O:)
