I have met several people from the Michigan board. We have a nice small support group, that I wish I could attend more.

that is very cool! judi

Hi all! I broke down and went to my first local support group meeting (yeah I know, it took me 7 months...). Anyway... I met some people off the California board that I've gotten to know on OH and it was pretty cool. The support group meeting was useless (IMO) because there were SO MANY people there that you just can't get personal enough. But I will continue to hook up with the local OHers that I met just for fun. I just thought I would share...Bekah

WARNING: GET TISSUES---------- Well the two best gifts I have ever received were for Valentines Day 14 years apart. My birthday and my parents anniversary are on Valentines Day. In 1976 my Dad was dying of colon cancer. The doctors let him come home to celebrate our special day. He went back to the hospital the next week and passed away 5 weeks later. February 14, 1991 was my 27th birthday. My now ex (he remembered my birthday! lol)) came into my office with balloons. Then he presented me with a small box. In side the box was a photo type magnet that said : A BABY IS A SPECIAL GIFT and where the photo would go said IT'S A BOY!!!! You see, we were waiting for word that we had been chosen to adopt a baby.We adopted our son (now 17) from Peru. He is the joy of my life. That night we had Chinese take out and my fortune cookie read : Among the lucky, you are the chosen one. Jen

I've been walking and doing some arm toning but that's about it. I really need to get my butt on base and go to the gym.
