"It's everything about you."

Words will never, ever be able to express how much this was amazing for me. My family, my friends, my family friends-I could not thank you for being a part of my life and being there that night. My cotillioners, you were alll sooooo beautiful (even you guys, cause I know how homo you are for each other.) You all did such a magnicientstupendiousamazing job. All of our 'apples' 'black girl moves' 'I drape you, you drape me, I drape you, NO DRAPE!" and 'get to your spots' were all worth it in the end. All 17 of you have played such an important role in tonight, and I can not thank you enough.

"my whole life has changed, since you came in, I knew back then, you were that special one"

"you make my life complete. . . glad you came into my life."

This one night was one ball of hectic, amazing, fun, greatfulness, TEARS (x 362346646348440), and so much more. It's crazy how those not even 5 months (more like 3 and a half cause I let you guys with so many off days haha) were punched down into 5 hours; it all went by too quickly. Everything went BEAUTIFULLY. The waltz was as we expected it to be, the chango seduced everyone in haha, the salsa made everyone go "oooohhhh!" and our modern. Oh man, you guys could not have done any better. And out of my 23985309 little surprise things that last one was the funniest. Bring that *NSYNC back; you're all I ever wanted, you're all I ever needed

"And I hope you always stay the same, cause there's nothing bout you I would change."

In program order my CUTILLYUNERS;;Janice, Kev, Faith, Adnan, Yssa, JR, Caroline, Best, Krisay, Migz, Ate Mae, Ivan, Lane, Victor, Renee, and JJ. I love you guys. I absolutely adore every single one of you. Waking up on Saturdays, being late to my own practices, going to the pole right after church, it's almost a ceremony for me now. I can't thank you guys enough. Life just isn't the same without you guys anymore. All our hardwork into one night. It's just INSANE.

"I wanna be the smile you put on your face. . .I just wanna be close."
