WOW, where do I begin...

I want to start by saying damn girls, your wedding pictures are all so pretty but seeing you in person does the pics no justice - I cant get over what a beautiful bunch of girls we have representing 2009!

Secondly, I cant even begin to tell you how much the card with all of your kind words as well as the gift card meant to me. Im such a loser that Im even crying now as I type b/c I am SO overwhelmed by your kindness. I was SO thrilled to do the slideshows & I cant wait to post the next one this week!!

I have never met such a wonderful, caring, big-hearted group of women in MY LIFE! I was telling Ron today that it truly is an amazing thing to experience - even if it was only once in my life.

I am hoping to forge & build so many more friendships with everyone I met today.

Today was SUCH a good day. I am blessed...thanks to all of you. Thank you....sincerely & truly from the bottom of my heart.

Love,

Your LIW Hugger!

Awwwwwww Laurie you were sooooo cute today....with all your hugs,when you won that photo prize, and when you received your thank you card.

I felt SO bad I didnt get to say goodbye to you!!! You are just so cute & adorable - I can see why your husband is crazy about you!!

I am going to try & post either today or tomorrow by the latest - the slideshow is going to be of everyone who submitted their photo for the collage. I have to say I love it best of the 3 I have done so far! I was so bummed that we didnt have any equipment to show @ the luncheon - so now I will have to post online & hopefully everyone that was @ the luncheon will see it!!

Virtual hugs for you until the next GTG! (hug hug hug hug hug)

Aww thanks you are sooo sweet. It was my fault I had to rush outta there b/c I had to teach a class at 5pm

I am equally as thrilled to have met you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are such a lovely warm woman and you have such amazing positive energy flowing!!

Laurie you are the sunshine of LIW!!

you are just soooo sweet... and i have never experienced a hug like that before!!!!!





can't wait to see you again!!

Yeah what you girls don't know is I sent Laurie every single collage picture. Also I said it at the luncheon but for those of you who missed it Laurie edited every single page of the cookbook. She checked for spelling mistakes, things that didn't look right, even found a duplicate recipe. SHE IS TRULY AMAZING!!!

I LOVE YOU LAURIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
