POTW acceptance speech...

I would like to start by thanking all the POTW that came before me.  You guys have all made being here on OH a wonderful experience. I first came to OH in October 2006 not really sure that I was going to get WLS but knowing that I had to lose weight.  I wasn't very active in the beginning but I was here.  My mother passed away in December 2006 and at that moment there wasn't a doubt in my mind that I needed WLS in order to get the weight off and this tool would help me more importantly keep the weight off. Since then I have been embraced by so many of you.  From my first outting at Craig Park, then the camping trip and subsequent Long Beach coffee's, I have known that many of you have been countless inspiration to me and other. I have learned from so many and while I don't post often I pray that when I do post that I uplift and inspire those *****ad. Thank you for this honor...and well I hope I fill the shoes and wear the crown proudly for my week!! Ms Shell

Great choice!!!  Our fellow camper will look awesome in those 4 inch spike heels and killer tierra!  It's been too long since we have seen you.  Eric sends a wink and a hug.  We are not camping this year because I will NEVER share a tent with Eric again - HA!  Enjoy your reign!!!
