I did it, I'm sleeved! :)
Hi everyone, just wanted to chime in that my big day was Monday, and I'm officially on the losers bench!
First two days were rough but I've been doing great since. I have some fear of failure but I guess that's normal.
I posted details and pix in my thread on the Mexico forum HERE.
dont know what I would gave done without these forums, got such great info. Hopefully I'll be able to pay it forward :)
Congratulations, it sounds like you're off to a great start.
