:merci:

Hey, this is Barbie finally getting the time to take a moment to send you my thoughts. Hmmm, where do I begin to describe this past weekend?
First, I want to send a GREAT BIG HEART-FELT ALABAMA THANK YOU to each and every one of you! I absolutely to quote Elliott :wub: had the most incredible time this past weekend. This was my first big adventure by myself, I have to say each of you made it so very special in your own way and I don't recall ever crying before when it was time to leave (sorry Felisha)... :bawl:
I will forever treasure the memories and friendships made and keep each and every one close to my heart. :grouphug:

I cannot begin to thank the E-Trainers from Richmond for all you did to bring about this special weekend. All your hard work for the fundraiser on Saturday night is truly appreciated. :goodjob: It's such a pleasure to be a part of this wonderful group of people and be able to share our passion for Elliott's talent and career. I feel truly blessed to have met Elliott (he's the best), his beautiful Mother Claudette (love her), his gorgeous girlfriend Jaime (take care of him for all of us), and his wonderful friend Brandon (whom I can't thank enough!!) B, you don't know how much your kindness and friendship means to all of us. We love your little diva too, she's just adorable!! I feel truly blessed to have met each of you and I thank God for allowing our passion for Elliott to bring us all together. I can't thank Elliott enough for sharing himself and his gift with us and staying so down-to-earth while doing so.

Now, a quick shout out to the E-Train family - thanks so much for a wonderful weekend that I'll never forget. Yes, I know I'm rambling, but I can't help it. Thanks to Harleywoman (and her sis) for being my chaffuer and allowing me to tag along for the weekend; Amandarhea - who I had already met in Nashville - the sweetest girl who deserves only the best - we're praying for you; Bannergirl - who let me cry on her shoulder when it was time to leave; and to everyone else I met...love you all...sharonburr, lindagt, Doxie, Lise, Mona, yellin (your pic rawks!), eyess2nkiss (loved the drawing of E), Nanab, MC, H-bomb (otherwise known as Mary J - lol), Donnysgirl (dang - never got that pic with E's shirt), Chloe, ithad2bu, Realitymom, AmandaGraceStreet, CA24, Peppers, Deniz, vacellist, and again, a special thanks to B - you're the best!. I don't want to leave anyone out, but I just know I am so I do apologize - there's just so many to remember and I'm not as good at that as I used to be...:blush:

If I can get my camera to work (although I think it's probably operator error) and find the time to sneak into my computer at work (mine crashed), I will post some pics as well. I can't wait until our next E-VENTURE :woohoo:

The :etrain: is for life and it :rocker:

THANKS ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow Barbie - you are the sweetest thing! We loved having you visit us and it was a really special weekend. This morning on radio Elliott promised more, bigger and better concerts in Richmond in the future. You sure have to come back.

Barbie, it was a pleasure meeting you and driving you here and there. Next time I'll have a limo. :justkidding: What has been so great about meeting people from the E-Train is that you feel comfortable with them from the get go. It's amazing. Luv ya girl. :friends:

Barbie,

You are such a sweetie! It was such a pleasure meeting you!!
