    Yayyy!!!!! Congrats!!!!! So happy for everyone. Hahah I need a banded buddy. So bad! My family found out by just being nosy. Some are happy for me and some are very resistant. I'm already feeling emotional because one is my sister. She won't even look me in the face and when she does. It's not a good look. Ugh nervous! Our live are getting ready to changes

    Wow! If I still lived in the area, I'd be your buddy! I was born and raised in Gary...before it went all the way down hill. I still visit about every other year or so. I love Chicago!!! My mom worked at Lever Brothers in Hammond for 20 years, my dad worked at U.S. Steel in Gary for 45 years. And I am a proud graduate of Roosevelt High! :)
