You. <br><br>I'd end it there but OMG this comment rocks my socks. Really. Since we can't hang out on the pool deck and discuss this over beers like we would if I were still home, this will have to suffice. AND OH MY GOD THIS COMMENT ROCKS - did I mention that?<br><br>One, I am SO PROUD of you for keeping a roof over our heads all these years. When I was a kid, I didn't really understand what that meant. Now I do, as I work to build a life for myself, on my own.<br><br>I think I get a lot of who I am from you. Is that genetic? Is it learned? I don't know. But I see a lot of you in a lot of the things that I do. Like the risk-taking. You could have stayed in Kansas with a job you didn't love or you could have pursued your dreams in Florida. I'm glad you pursued your dreams in Florida, and I'm glad I came along for the ride, because my dreams and my methods of pursuing them definitely molded as we all hopped on that journey together. <br><br>While shutting down the site is kind of bittersweet - I can't wait to see how this new direction pans out. I know you're enjoying it a lot more, which makes me happy to see you happy. I wish Chicago was closer to Florida so we could talk about your new direction more, but I'm not THAT tight with Mother Nature, or whoever would be in charge of relocating states to be closer to each other. <br><br>Funny, I never thought rearranging my room when I was grounded would translate to how I handle myself as an adult, but somehow, it does. I can't really put my finger on an exact translation, but it just makes sense. That's how I am. Hopefully that won't put me under out here in the business world. Hopefully that's a skill set that will allow me to excel and succeed and climb the ladder and make a life for myself, and all that stuff that I'm supposed to do now that I'm a grown up. <br><br>I love you. End of story. Thanks for being here, and thanks for the warm and fuzzy start to my day. WHAT A WEEK!!!<br><br>Is it January yet? I. Love. You.

I'd end it there but OMG this comment rocks my socks. Really. Since we can't hang out on the pool deck and discuss this over beers like we would if I were still home, this will have to suffice. AND OH MY GOD THIS COMMENT ROCKS – did I mention that?

How exciting! I hope your panel gets on the agenda, because I think it would be extremely interesting. Regardless, we should definitely schedule a time to chat about it and grab beers when SXSW rolls around. Kapeesh? Big things for you this year! How exciting!

We need to arrange that once you get all settled in San Fran.

Which is great. For others, the list of accomplishments is VERY long, so they had to narrow it down. Regardless, thinking back and taking the time to pat yourself on the back isn't something that everyone does. So thanks for being here. :) I think for some of us, this is an exercise to find the silver lining. Which is great.
