They didnt give up on me even when I didnt think I could do it. I'm now waiting for the paper work to get done then I will be off to Gary, Indiana to join up with May.

Way To Go, Minnie Mouse! Congratulations! I imagine it's gotta be an awesome feeling! I know I can't wait to get started with school. I won't be starting until Oct/Nov, and it can't get here fast enough.

Keep up the good work! And, keep us up to date on your progress!

I've been too busy lately and I missed this when you originally posted it. Glad to hear you are progressing right along, and personally I think May is a great choice. Hope you do real well. Don't forget we would love to hear from you every now and then, and if you hit some snags feel free to jump in and ask us for some help.

Again, Congratulations!
