Back from the exchange, it was a blast!!!!

Oh my goodness, I had so much fun socializing today and seeing/meeting my fellow losers!

Thanks to Sherri for the ride! I loved chatting with ya along the road to get there and home, I miss ya!

It was so nice meeting the newbies that I have never met!


Kim, it was great to see that you made it! Thanks for the hugs and do call me!
LeeAnn it was nice chatting with you and your sister Lynn was great- it is so nice to have a great support system. Hope she keeps coming!

For all of those that I always see and already knew it was great seeing ya again- there is just too many to name and I don't want to leave anyone out- so to all, I had fun and it was great to see ya again and have the support and hugz from my OH family! I needed it!!!!


TO MY SECRET ELF & KAREN,


THANKS for the goodies, I will be so pampered now! I love the goodies in each bag and look forward to using the items and thinking of you as I use them!

It was fun seeing our own BABY Q- he has gotten so big! It is hard to believe that it has been a year! Jodi, he is a cutie and it was fun getting to see him! You have been through so much this last year or so and it was nice seeing you with him and smiling and enjoying yourself- KUDDOS to you and Matt, he's a doll!

I am off to the DEMOLITION DERBY!!!!

Hope everyone had safe travels home!

I agree with Dawn..it was fantastic seeing/meeting you all! I know I didn't get around to meet half of the new people there! There are just SO many new faces anymore...and none of you look like your avatars! MY goodness! You ALL look so fantastic!! I promise that as my belly gets fixed up and I feel a little better, I'll try to get around more to meet you all!

Sherri

Dawn..it was fantastic having the company! Bill hardly talks when we go somewhere so it was great having someone to talk 'with' instead of someone to talk 'to'.

The clothing exchange was wonderful, I thank everyone who participated.  I got a lot of really nice things, even a two peice suit that i can wear to interview in.  I got home and it was like christmas to see what I had gotten.  I have three of my grandkids overnight but can't wait to get to try everything on tomorrow. 

I wish I would have got to meet more of you, I was a bit overwhelmed by all the people that was there.  Thanks to Robin for organizing the exchange, you have a wonderful church.  I pray you find your cell phone.  Shanna it was nice to meet you, your looking so great.  Sherri thanks for the conversation, I loved hearing about some of your early out experiences, always nice to know your not the first one who has had an issue.  Jessica I also enjoyed hearing about your experiences with your lap band, my sis is thinking of lap band so I will share your story with her.

Hey I had a great time today at the exchange! I picked up Kim and Heidi to bring to the exchange. I had such a good time talking to them on the way to the exchange! Thanks girls for riding with me, you made it fun! I am sorry I didn't get around to talking to some of you but there were so many clothes and so little time. I was one of the last ones to leave because I was still looking at the clothes. I was of course gabbing to Melissa, Lee Ann, and of course Miss Linda Kay!! We had a good chat and got so many nice clothes. It was good to see Ellen there and see that she got there without any major accidents. I am so sorry that she fell and cracked her chin. I am sure it had to really hurt!  Hope you have a great time in Minnesota, hope you and your daughter have a nice visit.
 Well I will post the recipe for the cheese ball as soon as I find what I did with it. I think the food was wonderful again this time! Going to get out of here and take a nap while my DH is not home. Have a great night! Michelle
