This cookie is perfect for what this entire blog is about. LOVE.

In the essence of time, I’m going to limit my words a little bit and try to acknowledge as many as I can… Sorry in advance if you are left out.  If you need a hug next time I see you, I would be happy to oblige.

D: I don’t say it every day, but I have meant it every day for the past 10 years.

Mom and Dad: You are incredible parents and I am so lucky to have you.

Dave: Dear Brother, Thank You for saving my life.

Kim: You make my brother happy and I think that’s the best thing ever. :)

Grandma: Dear LadyBug Grandma, Don’t ever stop sending me mail with random newspaper articles in them!

Tuuli: I miss you so much and need to see you more!

Morgen: So long ago, I shared a hotel danish with you and gained a lifelong friend.

Jes: My eternal ladydate – You are an inspiration and a ray of light.

Sarah: You are going to be such a great mom to whatever kind of baby comes out of you this summer.

Marcie: Caring, Ambitious, Funny – and the coolest mom to adorable Baby Lavergne

Sara: My work and HSM partner in crime – we often share the same brain – Hooray!

The Ladies of CCDD: Coaches, trainers, superstar derby girls, fresh meat… derby love to you all!

Ottawa Twitter People: Some of you I’ve never met in person, and some of you I’ve known for a while – Interacting with you, whether it be a “Good Morning!” or a great recommendation, adds a great new dimension to my life that didn’t exist 5 years ago. It makes the world/community a little friendlier.

AAAAAHHHHH…. There are so many more people I want to express my love to…. Can I just do this??…

Everyone in the World: I haven’t met most of you… but the things that you do have a ripple effect that eventually effects me somehow I’m sure.  Since my life has been pretty sweet so far, Thank You all and I love you all to varying degrees!

I’M SO SORRY: This list is horribly incomplete.  Just know that any way you slice it, I’m sending love your way. I will try to express my appreciation of you when I see you around the block.

Love, J.
