I have enjoyed having you up here in Lincoln, NE this week. I think I might cry when you leave. I am so glad that we met and I hope to keep our friendship rolling for many years. It's not everyday that you click with someone so well. On that note, I hope that you had a great time as well being a homebody. I hope that you learned something from me and I also hope that in some way I inspire you as you do me. Although my career might be coming to a close, I hope you don't mind if I live through you. That would just be fantastic. It's hard to battle the battles I have to battle everyday in order to be the best that I can be, (great sentence with a lot of battle words...haha) in order to get through a day. I know that I am strong and having someone like you by my side who knows what they want out of life and training is very self motivating and a great positive outlook. I hope you do so very well at Drake Relays. Kick butt, wear cute outfits, take some names . . . most important . . . have fun in the sun... love you girlfriend, ~jacqueline Girlfriend, don’t leave me.
