What a Bash!!!

I had such a great time. Meeting everyone was so much fun. Everyone was just as pretty and sweet as I thought they were. I can't wait till the next one. I am ready to get busy now planning the next one. Melissa you are so sweet. Wayne and I both enjoyed talking with you and your hubby. Christine, you already know I love you girl. Arlies you are surely the one and only queen. Glenda should have been my mom, she is the sweetiest person I think I've ever met. Rhonda you look great and your hubby was so nice. Dawn, good luck Tuesday and keep that chicken coming. Girl you better hold on to your hubby just for the cookin LOL ha ha. Everyone else I enjoyed meeting you too. For those not there we missed you and hope you can make it next time. Becky

Becky, You and Wayne both are just great. We really enjoyed meeting you guys. John loved talking cars with Wayne. I think they are ready for the next get together too. They seemed to have a grand time. Everyone is great. And everyone is looking good. The before and after pictures are just amazing to see. You are right about Dawn's husband. She needs to hang onto him. He can cook. She had said he was a cook and she is right. She is just as cute in person as I thought she would be and just as nice too. I hope her surgery goes well Tuesday. Melissa

Hey girl, I didn't know until we got home that Steven and Marci use the same eye dr. I think he is just wonderful. I am so thankful I found him. Becky

I think we had an absoultly fabulous time. I know my family did. Nobody mentioned that between the 18 post ops there we had lost 2175 pounds... The food was amazing. Dawn was a treat. SHe is so cute.. and seriously doesnt look like she qualifies for surgery. The shirts did turn out great. I enjoyed everyone and could talk for days... The article will be front page tomorrow morning in the Hattiesburg American. I work there and will get you a copy and mail it but you have to email me your address.

Christine, Becky, Missy, EVERYONE!! Oh, it was SOOOOO nice to get to finally meet you all in person !! Loved seeing all the post-ops who are at goal, wow.. I'm jealous LOL.. All our new posties, on their way to health, and the few who are still working on it. What a refreshing group we had there today! WOW ! I can't wait till we can do this again. I wanted to thank you guys for a great job planning the meeting , the food was awesome, you all !! The pavillion, even though a bit on the hot side, was a great place and how the heck did you guys pay off the weatherfrog to keep the rain away? I caught rain all the way up and half way down to the coast. You lucky people, you! LOL I think the Hattiesburg location seems pretty central for most everone that came, we may want to keep it there, unless of course you guys get overwhelmed with the responsibilities Christine, I'm emailing you my addy, whenever u can get that newspaper out to me, no hurry. I'm still all excited , having problems getting to sleep now.. geez.. I better go walk my dog for a couple of miles so I can get tired out and sleep. Love u guys!! ~Andie~
