Shelley, You're one to talk about needing before and after pictures. I didn't recognize you pic. I had to look at the name! Kristie

Thanks Kerri!!!

Oh thank you so much!

Hi all, Well it's almost here. Cris and are leaving for our trip to Europe on Friday. I can't believe it's finally here. We are both getting so excited. Here's the scoop on my knee and hip. I don't need knee surgery right now. The joint is pretty inflammed, but the MRI did not show a tear in the meniscus. My hip on the other hand definitely is torn. The labrum (or like the meniscus in the knee) has a tear. I will need surgery to repair it. I'm not having it until 8/16, that's when I'm scheduled. I want to get through our trip Germany and Italy and then our son's wedding on 8/5. I also have a wedding to photograph on 8/12. It's the only four week window I have until January! My one year anniversary is on Wednesday and I can't believe it's been a year already. What a difference a year makes. Thank you to all my fellow junebugs for your loving support and kindness! Love, Deb

My sister, Margie and I had a great time at the Pittsburgh conference. I think that OH events rock!!! So glad you had a great time. Debra
