I hope to be one of the first to say CONGRATULATIONS.

I think you are following your dream, and that is very enviable.
You certainly have the personality and skills to make it a success.

I don't know if there is any official saying for such an occasion, so I'll just use the one I know best....

Thanks everyone! If someone had told me last year, that I would be doing something like this.....I would have told them they were insane. But between my family, and my extended family on TPF, and the encouagement I get from everyone here, Im able to do this. (But I tell you, it is nice that my boss is begging me to stay on :)

Heatherlou,
I would like to say CONGRADULATIONS for following YOUR DREAM.

Although we have never had the chance to meet each other in Person, by seeing your images here and actually talking to you on phone by accident I know that you can ACHIEVE GREATNESS....

I too hope to do the same eventually once I get settled in Virginia but for you to take this STEP just goes to show the Charater you have...

GOOD LUCK GIRL.....

Steve

Congrats Heather! With your eye and personality, "this is not a problem". Just a phrase I picked up from reading too many manuals but it this case, it's true. Best Regards. I'm sure you can make it work. It's great that you have the support from Jeff too.
