Congrats Steve.  I got mine last year after a long struggle.  I also waited 5 years with 49 on 160 to finally get an LOTW hit from N8II for band 6.  The trials and tribulations of award chasing.

Finally after many repeated attempts to get Wyoming confirmed on 10 meters, WB7S came through for me in the last 10 meter contest.  Thank you MLDXCC members for the encouragement.  Now with Wyoming confirmed (LoTW), I was able to submit to ARRL for my 5 band WAS.

When I got home from work yesterday I noticed a flat white envelope from ARRL laying on the kitchen counter.  Inside was my 5 Band WAS award!  What a great way to start off 2017!
