Almost 2007 - What Changes Will This Bring? : Loving Jacqui

Almost 2007 - What Changes Will This Bring?

As I head into the new year, I have exciting things in store, chief of which one week from now is meeting Jacqui whom I’ve had more fun taunting after knowing her from a distance for 2-years than anyone since “Peter Cottondung” (don’t ask) in Junior High.

To understand how she makes me feel, here’s a little audio:

I predict we’re going to have a fantastic year… and the answer to that riddle will be solved shortly.

I also want to take this opportunity to say a big and hearty THANK YOU to the friends and strangers who’ve touched both of us by supporting Loving Jacqui with a kind word, your readership (even my friend’s 11-year old daughter, Cayla, is a shy reader, I’ve heard), and even your financial contributions. It was amazing to us in a good sense that a few people whom we didn’t even know (and a couple we did, like Jacqui’s friend) tripped on this blog and donated something to help us unite: people like Roby, Doug, and Dustin. All told, I probably raised enough to pay for my passport, which is 10 times my original goal of $8… just to see if it could be done.

Last but not least, my gratitude to Bear’s parents for raising such a one-of-a-kind outstanding daughter with a sidesplitting personality, heart of platinum, and, more importantly, a character to match. I will meet you soon as well as Jacqui’s beloved brothers, James and Johnathon, her sister Caroline, and her friends. I’m sure that *ahem* you have nothing but great things to say about her and don’t have any entertaining stories to tell me about embarrassing situations.

Let’s drink a toast to the future and Jacqui, you and I, let’s do it in person and for real in the coming days.

Happy New Year!
