It's all about love
Sat, 24 Jul 2010
At the end of 2006 I met my best friend. We met online. I didn't know she was my best friend then. I just knew she was cool and had great taste in room porn. It didn't take me long to find out that she was warm and kind and funny and fierce and loyal and smart and feisty and strong and loving ... with great taste in room porn. She was always there for me through thick and thin and for both of us there were thick and thin times. Before too long she was a part of my life, a very special part. Kim and I have never met. We haven't even spoken on the phone. We have shared our lives online and today I wish I could actually run up to her, throw my arms around her and wish her all the happiness in the world. Today is Kim's wedding to Jeff way way across the other side of the world from me. So if you don't mind I won't be doing my usual blog post today. I want to take this time to wish Kim and Jeff all the best in their new life together. It's all about the special ones in your life ... your partner, your family and friends. It's all about love. Congratulations Kim and Jeff! Now where's my glass of champagne!

Jo, your message gave me goosebumps. I could FEEL your warmth towards Kim. I think both of you are privileged to experience such a genuine friendship. Thank you for sharing withyour heart. Louise
Jo, those are one of the most beautiful words i've ever read. congrats Kim, hope your marriage will be that inspiring and lovely as all those things you show us. best wishes! to you, Jeff and Jo also :)
Congrats to your friend! how exciting. :)
Did I really say "friend"? Oops! I mean congrats to you Kim! Congrats to you as well Jo. :)
While I wipe the tears from my face and the boogers from my nose, I'd first like to say how grateful I am that I had time to turn on my laptop before the craziness of today begins and read this post. If I could have asked for ONE THING for today, it would not have been for great weather despite the fact that the wedding is outdoors, it would have been that Jo, my best friend and sidekick, could have celebrated this day with me. But I insisted she save the ridiculous amount of money it would have cost her to fly here and use it towards the house she is so desperately trying to find. I plan on sharing details of today (photos etc.) with her and everyone who frequents this blog and my Flickr stream anyway so no one, Jo in particular, will be missing out.
Thank you Jo for this totally sweet post, and to everyone who has left a comment and to those who will after I shut my laptop down. Your warm thoughts mean alot, and are calming my nerves a bit. :)
To many, many happy adventures together Kim and Jeff.
Oh, and the fantastic & functional furniture that will built...
Best wishes and thank you Jo & Kim for the site. Love it, Andrea XX
p.s. I'm sure the cats have something BIG planned. Open the door slowly. :)
I'm all goosebumply thinking about what a wonderful day you'll have today (and which you WILL please share a little with us?). Nothing beats love, not even room porn (well, maybe... no, sorry, sorry, love is IT).
Ehugs to all.
all the best, Kim!!!
OH WOW! all the best Kim..... this (and the room porn pics) is the reason I visit here daily- real people, real feelings. Congrats!
Kim- I wish you and your new husband the utmost happiness in your new life together. Congratulations...
Jo- So fascinating that you have never even talked on the phone!! The marvels of modern technology:). A very sweet post to come back from vacation to. [I did read all the ones I missed too!]
Congratulations Kim and Jeff! Kim, I'm thinking of you today, I feel as if I know you. I am sending a big virtual hug and kiss you way. I wish the both of you much love and happiness. And I can't wait to see the pictures! xxoo
P.S. - Jo, you words are lovely. Big hug and kiss to you too.
Congratulations Kim and Jeff! I am looking forward to seeing your photos and posts about the wedding. Jo, that was a beautiful post, you are a wonderful friend!
A fine example of human beings at their best. What a friend you are to you Kim. God bless you for your heart for her.
To Kim: May you have one unforgettable day and Congratulations to you and your groom!
All the very best to you in your married life, Kim! Let's see, it's almost noon in Ottawa and so far the weather gods are cooperating, at least in my part of town. Here's to more tears and boogers mixed in with kisses, dancing and unbridled love.
