At the end of the day it is only one judge's opinion and the members of our club are so talented it could reshuffle and go any way given a different judge, but I want to thank you all at the club and also everyone here on 365 for encouraging me and appreciating what I do and challenging and inspiring me every day :)
I wish I could hug you all in person !
