You have a head start. you've DBing for a while so you are strong mentally, which is pretty much 80% of the marathon.
the marathon is like this process somewhat, you never know how it's going to actually workout, but you know that you can do the best things you can do to prepare yourself to move forward.
It sounds like you have done all that. Now go enjoy.
Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. --Jean Jacques Rousseau.
