Good news!!! (bracelet update)

Sick of bracelet updates? Sorry! I'm sick of typing the word bracelet...I'll tell ya, I'll be glad when they're here!!

Which is what the update is about! I got an email from the company saying that they were shipped today UPS and the scheduled date of delivery is 9/19, which is tuesday!! That is great!!

If there is anyone traveling soon and needs them quick, please add it to here or pm me. I'll make sure that I get yours out right away. It might take me a couple of days to get them all out because there were ALOT of people that ordered. So if you need it quickly (for visit or pu trip) I'll get yours out first. We'll have them soon!

Mandy...you're such a thoughtful person to do all this! I don't need my bracelet in any hurry (still sitting in the black hole of PGN), but I just wanted to thank you again for everything!!!

Hey Mandy,

First....thank you so much for doing this. You are doing an awesome job!

I know there are alot of people to send them too but we leave for Georgia on the 25th for 2 weeks. Since our daughter is out of PGN we think we may be able to leave from Georgia to pick her up. So I'm wondering if you can send my bracelets out this week?

Thanks!!!
Michelle
