Thanks for the reply! I will look forward to your e-mail with details, and please let me know what I can bring, or what I can help with. I am very good with "party-planning", another one of my favorite past-times!! :)
This was my first post, I only just found out about the forums, but I'm so glad that I did find them, what a valuable resource, and what an AMAZING network of people here! I just can't believe how friendly and how active everyone is! I'm so excited to be a part of this group, and to get to know everyone!
I am glad to here there will be a OKA collection as well, I just sent an e-mail to "Ralph" (if I remember right?) about 2 additional soldiers that I am in contact with, I'm hoping he can add them to the list of package recipients... My husband spent 4 months in Kuwait/Iraq in early 2003 and it just blesses my heart to see so many people making an effort to help make their lives a little easier while they are away!!!
I have to say, I feel like I am jumping into this head first! I can't believe how easy it has been to just get sucked in and completely addicted so quickly! I love my stamp, and have such a great time logging the bills... I only have 2 hits so far, but can't wait to see where my bills travel.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my website - it has certainly been an amazing journey for me through WLS, I am so happy to have made it through my first 18 months, and to be feeling healthy and just trying to work on maintaining and toning... my family has been such a great support, along with my online WLS support network...
Anyhow, I'll stop rambling! Just wanted to say thanks for the welcome, and can't wait to hear more about the get together!!! :)
: WELCOME to Where's George and the SE Forum! Have you been lurking awhile? This is the first post by you that I recall; although, I could have missed a previous one recently. We are very happy to have you and please feel free to ask any questions you might have here.
: Boy, are you starting out your WG life right by attending a gathering shortly after becoming a member. And, I see you've ordered your first Stamp-Connection stamp. Smart cookie! :-)
: BTW, I have your website loading in a separate window (slow dial-up) and look forward to reading about your gastric surgery odyssey and weight loss accomplishment. Another of our members, Rena (in MS), is a sweet lady and has a blog linked in her profile to document her weight loss. She's doing REALLY well, also.
: Thank you VERY MUCH for volunteering to help with the Summerville gathering and I will e-mail you this week with details. That is very kind of you, Rebekah! Look forward to meeting you soon! :-)
