Thank you for making your sacrifice. As for your wife, I agree totally with what Jo said- encourage her to start posting now so she can get familiar with this format and the layout of it and the different personalities. I am so sure that she'll do fine, and with months of training she'll have it down cold!!
I just noticed your snake names~ we have a Link and Zelda also, but they are boas. I love System of a Down's Link and Zelda song!!!! Anyway, can't wait to welcome your wife!!!
