Hello from Augusta, Maine

[Boisvertma8 0]

My name is Melissa, I prefer to be called Lissa or Mewitt (but only but very good friends and family). I am a Social Worker and I really love what I do. I live in Augusta with my husband, 2 doggies and 2 kitties! I hope to have kids in the near future if god can grant me the opportunity. I have the greatest friends anyone could ask for- they know who they are. My husband and I have been together since August of 2002 and we were married in August in 2007. I am lucky to have found my soul-mate so young in life. My family is very important to me- my sister Jamie and brother in-law Ryan are everything to me. My friends Aaron and Jen are pretty much family at this point and are the best friends anyone could ask for. I have a small group of friends and I like it that way becuase they are more like family. My bestests Aimee, Caryn and Haley, you ladies are the greatest! I am an AOII at heart and love and miss all my ladies.

I am looking into have lap-band surgery, ym first appointment is October 2nd. I have looked into gastric bypassa few times before but don't really think its for me. I want to become a mother soon and lap band is the best way to do that in a healthy way.

It is good to meet you all. Please help to keep me motivated.
