TRACY!!! I've been waiting since 5:30 a.m. to hear update!!!!

You guys are the best!  Sorry I'm just getting on the board now - I had to take a NASCAR nap this afternoon! Shannon and I actually saw each other both Friday evening (snow tubing with Darla and Travis) and Saturday night (at Lebanon Hills candlelight event).  He actually slept over both nights, it's so nice to have a man hold me in bed....mmmmm (No bad thoughts about this happening quickly OKAY???) We had a great time both nights and I loved it when Darla told him she and many others would kick his butt if he ever hurt me.  I'm not sure he knows what to think about my big WLS family - he knows all about you though I talk about you all the time and he knows that you are a major part of my life.  He definitely would qualify for surgery, but isn't interested in it right now.  He has issues with diabetes and doesn't do a great job controlling it - so i hope that one day he changes his mind.  Until then I can only be example of why it's so great! He told me that he's falling in LIKE with me and keeps asking me to pinch him and I feel the same way. We're both so comfortable with each other - he doesn't care that I wear the worst PJs ever - a ratty old t-shirt and mens sleep pants that are HUGE on me. And when he left Saturday AM to go fishing he didn't laugh at my medusa hair caused from the snow spray the night before.  I asked him later how he could even come back after seeing me like that - but he just smiled and hugged me and said I looked fine!  Those are the kind of lies I can overlook!!!  hee hee This is all new to me, but seems exactly like it should...don't know where this is headed, but for right now is perfectly right! Thank you all for being excited for me - it's such a good feeling know that you have so many wonderful people wanting the very best for little old me.  You all humble me greatly!  Thank you very much for you love and encouragement!

Tracy- I am SO EXTREMELY happy for you. You deserve this so much. I will continue to keep high hopes for this relationship for you. I can't wait to meet this guy. YOu should post a pic of you two.  Hugs, Lori

Tracy, I am so happy for you.  Isn't great to have these feelings.  He sounds like a good guy!  So much fun and excitement in the newness of the relationship!

Yeah Tracy! Very happy for you! You deserve only the best! 

You have quite an extended family here that is cheering for you and who will have your back should you need it.

Love you!

I'm happy that you found someone that you connect to and really like. That seems like it's really hard to do anymore.

WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO Tracy - this just sounds like so much fun!  I wish you all the best in this, and as has been said before - if you need us to break his kneecaps for any reason - there are several of us around that would definately help you out! I also think that you need to post some pics of the two of you - or atleast of him, so we can check him out too! Have fun, and keep us updated...some of us singles now have to live vicariously through you...so details are always welcome (j/k)!
