Okay, I found this thread at work last night (yeah, I was bored), but can I say that I have read the ENTIRE thread!!!!
Corina, I think you are one of the most determined, motivated, etc, etc people I have "met" in a while. I am ENTHRALLED with your progress thus far, and I am rooting for you also. You are such an inspiration! I hope that you know that you have more people that you DON'T know rooting for you, probably that you DO know!

Keep up the good/hard work and don't let it get you down. Take time to breathe!
