Steffi, I'm so sorry about Torben's dad. You both are in my thoughts :( I really admire you for sticking to your guns with all the tests and everyone so you can fly. And hearing about how active you guys are from Kim is very inspiring :)

Michelle, right now it's about an inch or two below my ears. For the past year I've gotten it cut every few months, but I think I'm going to start growing it back out again. Probably won't grow it as long as it was before (too much work!), but I really miss running a brush through it and the feel of it. It helps you feel really feminine :lol I keep this pic as my avatar because it reminds me of how happy I was that day... watching my brother graduate, being together as a family, the sun out, etc. Anyway, it was awesome to be able to chat last night, sorry I had to duck out early!
