*Julie J* (J Cubed) -- Wow, we have too much
fun! Afternoons are always interesting, and it's great to have you as a coach again! You &
I go waaay back to freshman year, we're like PB & J, J cubed and L squared, Laverne & Shirley! Hmmm... so you've
been my coach, another mom, my mentor...one of my best, closest friends. I'm so glad we've stayed in touch. :)
I know everything from your middle name to your first kiss, and you know me almost better than I know myself. Thanks
so much for always being there for me, it means more than you can know. I wouldn't be where I am without you, and it's
nice to know you feel the same way :) One day, you and I'll be married to royalty, just wait! Or, before
you know it, I'll find your prince charming and you'll be moving down to Florida with me! Until then, I guess I'll just
have to rent out the spare bedroom in that cute little house and we'll be roomies!! :D For sure... :) But until
the cute little house, I guess I'll settle for the couch..lol (in which case I'll take care of the bread and milk! hehe).
I'm excited for our summer, too. :) We've sure had many, many great times, and I know there are MANY more to come!! I
look forward to our tennis and rollerblading excursions. ;) And, if there's someone to talk to about "C-'s" -- it's
you. Just know how very, very much you mean to me -- you're truly the greatest, and i'm SO lucky to have you
in my life. I love you :)
*Mrs.Berg* -- Where to begin.. You're my other mom.
You mean more than the world to me, and have helped me get by with life each day. When I felt things were too big and
impossible, it was you who showed me how to climb those barriers and learn from those days. I love you more than you
could ever know. You are my idol in so many ways, and I thoroughly enjoy all the time I spend with you and your
family. Thank you for always making me feel welcome, and thank you for making me a better person. I love you :)
*Trace* -- Finally, someone else who understands!!
I'm so glad we've stayed such close friends, I always enjoy our conversations. It's so nice to have someone else in
my class understand the group change -- it's always easier than going through it alone. As excited as I am for you to
go to Denmark, I'm going to miss you so much!! I just wish wonderful things for you -- you deserve it all. I know
this is easier said than done, but I hope you find some time to breathe -- it's very easy to hit something when you're running
@ 100 mph, and I don't want you to crash (it's not cool!). Love you, hun!
*Diane*- Oh D, I love ya! We go waaay back, and I know we'll keep in touch forever.
I can't imagine my life without you -- France was hard!! I'm talking to you right now. hehe :) I'm so glad that
even though we don't see eachother as often we still talk all the time. I'll never forget our hilarious stories of driving
the wrong way in a parking lot, our traditional New Year's together (we're headin to NYC one of these years), or all of our
other great times. I know we'll be close friends long after college, because that's just us. :) I love you hun!
:)
*Kayla* -- We go way back to the middle school days, and we've always had
good times together. I'll never forget the 7th grade, especially, and how great of a friend you've always been.
Porterfield is like tradition -- Kenny adds a great touch! You're always welcome down @ my dad's, Julie just loves
you! Not to mention, you mean so much to me. We'll be hanging out a lot this summer, and you better come work
by me!! Love you, Kay!
*Megs* -- I love you, hun! I'm SO glad we still always talk, even
though we don't work together anymore. I'd be very surprised if we didn't, considering I can't go more than 5 days without
seeing you!! You've showed me what a person can do with strength, love, and determination, and you've always been there
to listen. I love you so much and I would never want to imagine my life without you in it. Thanks for everything,
hun -- I love you :)
*Kim* -- I'm so lucky to have had the chance to get to know you at camp!
You we're the best JC in the world, and still remain as one of my closest friends. I'm so glad we keep in
touch and talk often -- It means so much to me! I hope all goes well with you in teaching -- I know you'll be wonderful;
the kids couldn't be more lucky. Know that I love you and think of you often. :)
*Amanda* -- Off to college all too soon. I'll never forget all our
crazy times -- sledding, leg locks, regurgitating candy canes, making up dances, the 4-wheeler, Porterfield, or bike rides
with "The Locomotion!" I know we'll stay in touch even with you in college. And even if we don't talk for months,
we'll pick up where we left off when we do see eachother, because that's just how we are. We'll be friends for the rest
of our lives. I can't wait until you and Jon get married!! :) Love you, hun.
*Jessie* -- Oh dear, you're so sweet! We've had so much fun, and will have so
much more this summer ;) I'll never forget our grad party day -- it was too much fun! I'm SO glad I had another
sister to come watch Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants on my birthday, it made my day!! I love you SO much, you're the
greatest and it's by far time enough that you had your shoutout!! I'm excited for our day again tomorrow w. Erin and
Darby -- maybe we should get some traveling pants and you can wear them to NYC!! That'd be sweeeet!!!! Oh yay ;) Well
hun, I think I'm going to finish this so I can have fun talkting to you, but know that I love you and can't wait
to spend more time together!!!!
