Congrats!! I hope to be there soon too! Just finishing these last two classes and I'll be hitting water trying to put these tips to use!

Congrats on putting it all together and making it work. I was in your shoes with the same sense of accomplishment 10 or 11 years ago and I know what you're feeling. It's a great feeling, isn't it?
Yes, I was talking to myself; sometimes even I have to ask for expert advice.
