Hi Sleevers, @radiochick- we have the same date also- 11/19- I feel the same way- nerves are kickin in but yet i am soooo excited to start this journey!

YEs, i am so ready...but the butterflies are landing in my stomach..lol- we have the same exact date, 12/3 but due to scheduling at work i had to move it up to 11/19 cause it was a cancellation, JoAnn hooked me up. I have to get in before the end of the year for insurance to cover it at 100%, I live in the Amboys.
