To Everyone !!!

Okay my dear dear friends.. I've known it's gonna happen and it's finally here. We got orders and we've arranged for our move. I 've been working again fulltime and I don't even know where time has gone, its FLYING by !!! I am going to miss each and every one of you so much. Even though we haven't had that many meetings , the friends I've made here are so dear to me, and I love u all !!!!! Now don't worry. I will still stay on this board as much as I have before, I feel at home here with you and I'm just going out of state for a couple of years, and when hubby's done with his military "career" in 2008 we're moving to Louisiana, where I can again make plans ahead if you guys have meetings, to attend. I wanted to let you guys know what a pleasure it's been to hang out with you. **Dawn, my dear friend, I'll miss u so much. **Sara, you too. I don't know what I woulda done the last few months without you guys. **Rhonda, girl, I'll miss u too. Are you staying in MS??? **Arlies !!! omg where's time gone? you're almost a yr out now and gosh you look so wonderful. It's been a pleasure meeting you and talking to you, you are such a sweetie **Christine, you've done great since surgery , I'm very proud of you, and I'm so happy for you and glad you're making decisions , although pretty tough, to make yourself happy . Look out for number one!!!! ALWAYS!! ** Melissa.. grrr.. I'm gonna be so jealous and yet I am so proud of how well you've done and pray that your PS goes well and you get the results u wanted !! ** Dex, although we've never met, you've been an inspiration and always ready to give good advice. Thanks for the great t-shirt design!! I still wear it a lot **Sonya, you've been doing so well, and you have shown me that even though I've been a bit sceptical about surgery in Mexico, that it's perfectly safe and a great alternate option for those who can't afford it here in the US! ** Tomanip, Hey I 'm so glad things are falling in place for you, I can't WAIT to hear the "I'm a loser" from you!!! ** Tammy, I remember how long its taken you and how horrible your journey has been at times. Just try to forget those things as you're progressing and getting better. I am still sure that one day you will stand side by side with us and you'll say "it was worth it" **Cheryl, I wished we had been able to meet and I hope in the future we will both make it to town for a meetin' and we can sit and talk all about those great places you've been to ( wanna see ALL your pictures!! ) lol **Angie, you've done so well, you lost a lot and you're in school..accomplishing all those things, I'm proud of ya , girl !! **Becky, how are "they " healing up??? You too have done so well, I'm jealous LOL ** Glenda, I've really enjoyed getting to know u and you've been such an inspiration. I hope I end up with my journey and do as well as u did ** Deanna, where have u been?? Haven't seen u in a few weeks, could be cuz I'm always busy? LOL Hope things are okay, and drop me an IM sometime!! **Joyce, I am still praying hard every night to get you your surgery, I know it's gonna happen, just keep your faith!! I promise things will fall into place soon !! **BARRY!! Bear, you've brought so much spirit to this board, I'd like to thank you. You know guys are kinda sparse here and I was tickled pink when U had told me at the Hattiesburg meeting that my story has impressed u. Awww how sweet. You keep up the good job and say hi to your sweet family !!! **Denise, keep on tryin'.. we're keeping our fingers crossed for that baby to happen SOON!!! **Sherry I'm also glad that things have come together for you, I can't wait to get that "Its my anniversary" message on the board !!! I already know you'll do great **Fredrica, haven't heard from u in a while but I hope you are doing well and this journey is going to be the best thing u've ever done !! I know it has been for me !! **Iris, havent seen you in ages on the board, everything ok? Let us know sometimes!! Hope you're okay! **AMY I'm so sorry that things here in MS turned out to be such a disaster for you and your family. You're in my prayers and hope u will return to MS soon so you can be together with your hubby again. Stay in touch!!! ********* To all those who aren't named here.. I apologize, it's such a long list of folks and I've tried to mention all of you dear friends who I have had the pleasure of chatting with !!!! I will miss u guys !!! I would love to hear from all of you guys in the future, it might be that I will be offline for a few weeks due to the move and waiting to get cable hooked back up, but my email [email protected] is always open for all of you guys!! We're having our things packed on Dec 19th, we are going "home" to Louisiana for the holidays and we'll be in our new home in Florida on January 2nd to receive our furniture on the 3rd.

Well, I've been trying to work A LOT lately, so have not posted as much, but that's okay, because I NEED THE MONEY.....Oh, Jacksonville, I once had a "clandestine" meeting there (but don't tell anyone)...and my aunt lives somewhere around Orlando....so, now I will try extra hard to get there for a visit..And, YES, please do not leave this board, I love hearing from you...You are always so encouraging and I appreciate it so much....I do hope the move is a good one for you guys.....D.

Hey Andie, i hate you guys have to go but, that is life of the military, please stay here wif us on the board girl cause we love ya ......Hugggs Sherry

I hate you have to move, but thanks to the internet you can still hang out with us at least on here. And like you said, it is only for a couple of years, and then you will be back and able to get together in person with us again. When are you moving? Maybe we can plan a lunch before you move like we have had before. Good luck and post often to keep us updated. Melissa

Well, you certainly got my day off to a squallin' good start! I am sitting here boohooing ....Girl, you mean the world to me (not to mention what you mean to my darlin' hubby ). You better stick with this board, too or we will hunt you down in FL and make you PAY!!!! You know what the Queen says: "Once a Mississippi Girl, ALWAYS a Mississippi Girl." Even in you are from LA and move to FL! But NOW, we all have a contact in Jacksonville, and look for lots and lots of vacations at YOUR new house!!! Yep, I am inviting us all!!!! Andie, you have a great holiday and a great move - I know how stressful those military moves are! - and never, ever lose touch. I love you dearly. Smoochies & hugs forever and ever Arlies

God bless and keep in touch. Hope this holiday is safe and please keep is posted! Jane

You do know how to make someone tear up at 8:30 in the morning. You are going to be so missed. You have been a wonderful asset to the board and I hate that you are moving away but I do hope you will stay with us on the MS board. I know you say you will - but will you, really? I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. I am kinda jealous that you get to go to Florida. You are gonna love that weather. I would be stressed beyond belief - I couldnt move like that not knowing someone or having any friends in a strange city. I dont envy you on that part. You can still make the trip and come to the next bash we have. Its not that long of a drive... Take care Andie... Christine

Hey Andie, I do hate to see you leave. But I understand that when you get orders to go that you do have to go. You are a wonderful person & I'll miss knowing that you are in state. It makes me think that your leaving & we will never hear from you again. Don't let that happen!!! You have been a very important part of my family here!!! I will be standing with y'all one day saying that it was worth it. I am working my way there as we speak. My new email is [email protected] So stay in touch. Love ya Lots Doll, Tammy
