Ok, I got a google account JUST for you! :) Figured I'd be around posting lots of comments here, so I should go for it! What a joy it has been knowing you. You are such a blessing to all around you and Emma will be a very blessed little girl to have "Miss Angie" as her Mom. Hope you are having a wonderful time with your friend this week and your personal trainer is waiting for your return!! lol. If you overdo it, she will whip you right back into shap in no time! No rest for the weary..ha!
Until the next comment... One day closer to Emma!
We love you Miss Angie!

This next week your assignment from your personal trainer will be ballet. Start pointing those toes...
