Very glad to have you back! I was so glad I didn't miss you at the conference! I didn't have a clue you were coming, but there ya was!

Yep I are back and it was great to get to meet you in person! I think we could have jabbered all day! It was fun to see everyone and put faces with names, and share hugs and stories. What a great group of people we are! Now we need to make sure to hook up again when we get the chance! You look just awesome btw miss skinny falling down pants! HUGS!!! Valerie

We probably could of if you hadn't of kept disappearing.. unless it was me that kept disappearing I was all over.. ALL day! I'm glad I could hold you hostage for a few so you could see Jaimee and Suzy! yeppers we do need to hook up when we can, you and Earl are awesom, wish you could be my personal trainers! Thank you! I wish the pic's I took showed it, but they are all like head shots and MY GOSH I AM NOT photogenic at all! Hey now, don't pick on my falling down pants.. and those were 12's tyvm.. it's all I have right now! and I am NOT shopping anymore till Sept.. cause I blew on my new ring! And I have NOtta thing to wear for the upcoming cooler weather. So I gotta pinch a few pennies and quickly. Gosh I had such a great time! We totally wore ourselves out at King's Island after the conference too, our group was all rubbing our hips and wishing the car would come to us! HUGS to you also!

It was wonderful to see you at the event, Val. And of course looking forward to seeing you next week at the meeting. Sarah - when you are in town, if we do a get-together I would love to meet you as well. -Anne

Hey honey! You and Julie almost made me cry! You guys really make me feel special. Actually...I will see you at dinner, I have my final on Weds, but I will be back full force the week after that! I can hardly wait!!!! BIG HUG! Val

Hi Val! It was great getting to see you and Earl at the conference yesterday. I agree I wish Bo could have spoken. He is an incredible speaker. I did however like Monica Ganz's speech. Very motivational. I am happy for you. Going back to school is always a challenge and with young girls in HS.. I can understand you wanting to be there. Just know if you ever need someone to talk to .. I am here. See you at the next OSU meeting! Hugs, Julie

Thanks for making me feel special. When you and Anna showed up I just felt so warm and fuzzy! Yep it's been a challenge! But you know, I doubt I would have ever been able to do this 3 years ago. I would have been too depressed and too big to even want to stand up to the challenge. Thanks for the shoulder, you never know when I will take you up on that! It's nice to know that there are folks out there who care enough about you to offer as much support for me as you all have. Bunches of hugs and love! Val

Hey Val, It was great seeing you in Cinci. I was so glad that Vickie was able to way lay you and your hubby for a moment so I could play catch up with you. It's a good thing she did, cuz we would never have recognized each other. I hope to get together with you and your group soon. Jaimee and I might just pop up unexpectedly some evening. Ya never know. Again, it was awesome seeing you.................you beautiful you. I had such an enlightening experience at the convention and hope we can keep the momentum going. Hope to see ya real soon, Suzie

Val, It was great to see you yesterday. Sorry I couldn't talk longer. I will try to make it to one of the Wednesday meeting and we can talk then. Hugs, Jaimee

Don't apologize! We will have to grab lunch one of these days and catch up...I am just glad I got to see you and your hot new bod!! You look awesome girl!! OMG Doesn't it just feel great? I loved seeing everybody even if it was just for a minute here a minute there! That was better than a family reunion. HUGS! Val
