Thank you for the warm welcome!

Unfortunately, we have alot of obstacles to overcome. So I know I will be here for a while.

Once we start the process I'm sure I will have many questions and it seems you ladies will have a lot of answers!

Until than, I will need to figure out what some of the initials mean in your conversations... Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
