PROFILE & PICTURES UPDATED

OH MY GOSH ... I'M FINALLY CAUGHT UP, KINDA, ON MY PROFILE. I'VE GOT MY WEIGHT LOSSES LISTED, BMI CHANGES, WOW MOMENTS & SUCH ALL CAUGHT UP. MS HEATHER WAS AN ABSOLUTE DOLL & HELPED ME PUT PICTURES IN MY PROFILE. CHECK OUT THE COMPARISON PICS AT THE BEGINNING OF MY PROFILE AS MY WEIGHT WAS GOING UP ... THEN, THERE ARE SOME FAMILY PICTURES, MY "OH MY GOSH" HOSPITAL PICTURES & THEN WEIGHT LOSS COMPARISON PICTURES WITH MY PRE-OP vs MY 50 #s LOST PICTURES. LATER, I'LL CHANGE OUT THE PICS AT THE VERY BOTTOM & I HAVE SOME HURRICANE KATRINA PICS I WANT TO UPLOAD INTO SNAPFISH FOR ANYONE INTERESTED, BUT THAT COMES AT A LATER DATE. HOPE Y'ALL ENJOY; THIS IS QUITE A JOURNEY, ISN'T IT??? GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK

WOW I loved you profile, and what a BIG change on your weigh loss. You look GREAT!! Celia

THANKS MS CELIA ... "GREAT" IS A BIG, BIG WORD ... I'D SAY THAT I LOOK "BETTER"! NOW, GIVE ME ANOTHER 50 # LOSS & I'LL BE SA-SHAEYING ALL OVER THE PLACE!

I love your new profile and you can see a big differance in your weight. I always thought you looked familier. I have to wonder if we ever run into each other on the road. I drove 18 for 9 years, but It has been that long since I got off the road. deb 392/305/225

WE WEREN'T ON THE ROAD ALL THAT LONG ... 2003 ... THEN, MY MOM HAD 4 SETS OF STROKES & SURGERY SO WE HAD TO COME IN & DRIVE LOCALLY. SHE GOT WORSE SO I TOOK A MEDICAL LEAVE OF ABSENCE & HAVE BEEN HOME SINCE APRIL 2004. NICK STILL DRIVES LOCALLY IN CONSTRUCTION - FUEL TRUCK & NOW TRI AXELS. I MISS DRIVING W/ HIM ... I JUST PLAIN MISS BEING WITH HIM 7/24!!!!!!!!! HE'S A 30-YEAR NAVY MAN BUT WHEN WE MET, HE SAID HE'D ALWAYS WANTED TO DRIVE BIG RIGS & WOULD I GO W/ HIM ... GO W/ HIM? ... HUH! ... NOT UNLESS I COULD DRIVE TOOOOO! SO, WE WENT TO FLA (WE WERE THE OLDEST COUPLE BUT TOP OF THE CLASS) & GOT OUR CDLs & THEN UP TO CHARLOTTE, NC TO TRAIN & DRIVE FOR SCHNEIDER. WE WERE JUST GETTING TO KNOW THE ROPES WHEN MOMMA HAD HER 2nd SET OF STROKES W/ HER 3rd SET CLOSE BEHIND. THAT WAS IT. BUT, NO REGRETS ... IT'S A PRIVILEDGE TO BE ABLE TO GIVE SOMETHING BACK TO MY PARENTS; THEY ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST! GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK

I AM SO EXCITED ... I STAYED UP ALL NIGHT & FOLLOWED THE PATTERN MS HEATHER PUT IN MY PROFILE FOR POSTING PICTURES (SHE'S SO TALENTED) ... &, I FINALLY GOT OUR DAUGHTER'S "HURRICANE KATRINA" PICTURES ON MY PROFILE. IF YOU HAVE A FEW MINUTES, PLEASE CHECK THEM OUT. &, BETTER YET ... IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU DON'T NEED THAT YOU COULD DONATE TO HELP THE KATRINA SURVIVORS, CONTACT NATALIE AT THE E-MAIL ADDRESS LISTED IN MY "KATRINA" ARTICLE IN MY PROFILE (ABOUT 3/4 THE WAY DOWN MY PROFILE AT THE END OF 2005). THANKS FOR DROPPING IN! GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK
