Hi Cara,

Thankyou for your kind words. We'll get there some how or other

and get this moving along. We finally got word from the endo in

her. Of course it comes with another 6+ month wait but it'll be

worth it in the end.

I miss chatting with all of you girls too! Hopefully soon I'll

get it together and be on Yahoo!!
