HERE WITH CHLOE & HAVE PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We found out when we checked into the Marriot that we have pink, our appt. is 4/17 so we are going to be here for awhile. Staying until the 21st. But who cares, we are with Chloe (whom by the way screamed her head off for the 1st hour, so she did not remember us)
She is fine now though, and this will give us plenty of bonding time.
To my forum friends, hotmail email is down here so, I can't email you right now.
PRAISE the Lord anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
