Introduction
Hi everyone! My name is Jan, I'm from Arkansas and am 45 years old. I want to thank you all for your words of wisdom. I've been reading your posts for a few weeks, and have learned so much already. My husband and I are now officially "waiting", and this site is such a help.

Hi Jan- you will love it here! I'm completely addicted to these boards, spend more time here than I should! Having said that- the support is great, the advice is great,the conversation can be the best! I call everyone here my friend when I am telling my DH about some of the conversations,and posts. He thinks I'm nuts. BUT- he doesn't know what he's missing. Welcome!!!

Welcome! The waiting is tough... BTDT! (We received our match at the end of January and are currently waiting for TA). The friends you will make on this forum will make your wait much easier.
