DonnaB 3 Posted August 21, 2006 Congratulations Alexandra - truly amazing and inspiring. I was looking at the collage, scrolling back and forth trying to see YOU in some of the earier pictures. My husband caught me scrolling up and down, right and left, and asked me what I was doing, so I showed him the pictures. THEN HE STARTED SCROLLING UP AND DOWN, RIGHT AND LEFT. LOL We were both completely moved and awestruck by the power of the band and the sheer will to succeed! Happy Bandiversary! And many more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewSho 20 Posted August 21, 2006 AWESOME. What an incredible achievement, Alexandra. And the photos tell a remarkable story of your journey. You are inspiring to many, many Bandsters. Man, when I think of how much weight I would have gained in 3 yrs if unbanded, then it makes me even more grateful. Congrats again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alexandra 55 Posted August 21, 2006 And those beautiful kids! That little boy of yours looks like a model for a Hummel figurine. Hee hee! That little boy of mine is named Catie! :cool: Guess we have to let her hair grow a bit longer and break out the pink clothes. :biggrin1: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
