Cmon now, Pen and TJ or Merrick didn't know about Mr. E? I find that hard to believe. Well anyway, CONGRATS!!! You deserve all the happiness you're gonna get from here on out.
One thing I wanted to add is that you have pointed out previously that you and Mr. W will remain friends after a D anyway. I think you noted that w/D7, the two of you will always be involved and being friends w/Mr. W is only going to help that. Girlfriend, you know what path you're taking and you are well on your way. I bet you've got it mapped out pretty well but need to stay the course to make sure things pan out. I mean anyone that is talking about Christmas presents already has got to be a GREAT planner!! LOL
We'll just sit back and wait as the pages unfold themselves. Go Betsey!!! I'm very happy for you and can't tell you enough how much you deserve this friendship or whatever it is going to be! Tootles................
