Thanks again Donna and America! I'm trying to stay calm but it seems I've already let out the strap on the back of my ball cap to fit my big head--seriously I am extremely happy and really appreciate the nice comments. I know how hard everyone at BP tries and how good the competition is but yet everyone is so friendly and takes time to help others--You all are the BEST!! #990140
