Wink Hello From A Newbie!!

Hi guys! I am new here so I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself.

My name is Tricia, and we adopted our precious daughter, Sofia, last year!

I know, I know....where have I been?? Can you believe I have NEVER EVER been to this forum before??!?

Anyhow, I know many of you strangerfriends from blogland and I look forward to meeting many many more of you at Guatoberfest in Myrtle Beach in October!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Hi, Tricia! It's so nice to meet you! You are so beautiful and glamorous and so are your children.

Is there seriously anyone involved with Guatemalan adoption who doesn't already know you?! You silly girl, no intros needed here. Am I right women (and Bob)?

Say what???

I saw your blog post and couldn't resist seeing your FIRST POST????? How did you manage that? Actually, Juju's never been here either. I was ADDICTED to this thing in the middle of our adoption, but rarely visit now. I've been checking in today to get the Gfest word out.

Again, so glad you're coming to Myrtle Beach. Looking forward to meeting you in "real life!"

Hey Tricia;

Welcome!

I follow your blog but have only posted a few times.

And for all my fellow a.com crew, Tricia is an amazing giver/helper in our world. Keep an eye on her blog for whatever the project of the moment is. She is out there making a difference!
