Hey Jordan.
If I remember correctly from your original letter that you stated that you were flying your private citation X Bird. 
Try starting the approach at around 22 or 20 miles out.
I know I usually try to wait until I here the message turn such and such and to contact the tower for landing instructions. Then use the voice command about recognize landing clearance.I myself then would run the approach checklist just after using that recognize landing clearance. But I have found from tryal and error that around 22 to 20 miles out works better for the approach checklist. 
So see if that will help you out.
Keep the Blue side up.

It was about 195 miles and FL 300 was my cruise altitude.  I am going to
attempt this flight again later on today, and I will try running the
approach checklist sooner.  That might solve the issue.
Thanks,
Jordan

I'll test bed the flight later on, butt, the fact that your destination
airport isn't ils equipped leads me to believe that this was a descent and
approach problem.  How long in miles was your flight, and was 7000 your top
of climb altitude?
