Edited and content removed. Welcome Wagons are NOT ad forums; incoming companions are allowed only ONE city introduction to the H2 community, and OP already announced herself in Austin.
The OP should please read the instructional threads at the top of this WW or the Austin WW to become familiar with forum guidelines, site rules, and the verification process, and there are helpful suggestions in said topics for what to do while awaiting validation. Thanks! -- FIH/staff
