ColonPalooza3

WOW! I didn't know "what" I was missing and how much I needed "it" until I met some of you, The SemiColons, this weekend at the ColonPalooza events. What a warm, welcoming, tough, bright, inspirational, fun-loving, hug like you mean it gang! (I could go on!) Five and a half years ago when first diagnosed with Stage 3 CC I was unable to find anything like this, and since I have been doing so well didn't think I needed anything like this. If it weren't for a scare back in December that served as the catalyst for me to post a messsage and the replys received as a result of that post, I would not have known about nor attnded one of the most amazing weekends of my life. I have a whole new second family after only a few days. Thank you all for the part you played in making the experiences of the weekend so joyful- especially to Kerry and Kay for keeping me in the loop and hosting such wonderful parties. Can't wait to meet more of you in the future! (SpongeBob, calendar guy, I was so disappointed you were not there! and Stacy too!)And just to set the record straight.... "My name is Suzann, and I am not an alcoholic". Glad I could give some a little laugh! (you had to be there) I'll be trying my darndest to get to Halifax!

Hi Suzann!

I'm glad you got to meet the core of "the bunch"! I am bummed that I didn't make it, but I'm gearing up for Halifax....even if it means unemployment! (ok, just kidding....lol)

Take care,
Stacy

Hey Suzann, it was great meeting you! You are a blast. I would love to toss around the idea of having a Baltimore-Washington ColonPalooza. Both Spongebob and I are in this area, and Lisa's (Scouty) not too far away. Think about it guys!

Unfortunately (for me) you left too soon. Next time you're in Austin, I'll make it up to ya with a Big New York Italian dinner, Jersysue! Take care. I had a great time meeting you!

Suzann,

It was great to meet you and your family. You, Kay and I will have to have regular mini-semi-colon get togethers for lunch or whatever since we live in the same territory.

Take care. Look forward to hearing from you.
