Hi Misty and Laura, Im also from NJ and I was banded on 12/30/10. I would love to be buddies with you. we seem to be all in the early stages of this band journey.

Im 53 and single mom of two of a 26 yr old son and a 20 yr old daughter. I have a 8 yr old grand daughter and a 6 mos old grand son. All four of them are my sunshine. LOL

I have a large family and they are supportive. but its not the same as someone going through the same thing. . Good luck on our Journey ladies!!!! Talk soon
