Hi...

I was told 24 to 30 months. I'm at the beginning of my journey, so I'll have to let you know later how it's really going.

Just wanted to let you know, David, that you won't be alone on the 5th of May. I'll be having my braces put on as well. It's the first time ever for me, as well.

Just wanted to say hi!
