For What Its Worth..(again)

Dear "Everyone",

I have been reading all the posts here for the past couple of days--- The good ,the bad, and the ugly(ha!)
..... But I had yet to respond to any of the comments until now because I felt that by doing so I potentially could make myself look bad in the eyes of not only the other contestants but also in the eyes of the very people who are judging my story ---team PartyPOP. I sincerely hope that they will see that my intention now is not to cause trouble but to stop it.

I am choosing to respond now because I feel that some of the accusations flying around are not only unfair but very hurtfull, not only to myself but to others in the contest. I take great offence to the statement that some of us are "scamming" to get the highest score. I personally know that I am not guilty of any wrong doing in this contest and feel that if anyone was they would be caught (as they were before). I can't speak for anyone else but I know that I personally want to win this thing....with all my heart...for many reasons. But I could never enjoy a wedding that was 'bought' by selling my soul to get it. I am sure many of you feel the same way.

I think partypop has tried very hard to give us a contest that was not only exciting but ingenious.With a prize of this magnitude there were bound to be some complications but they have tried to handle them all. I have faith that they are working hard to decide who the winner will be....and no matter who it is I wish them all the happiness in the world.

I just want to say thank you to all the friends and family who have supported me here (and through the voting system) It is plainly obvious by some of the posts that I am loved...*smile*. And I appreciate your concern and thoughtfulness more than you could ever know. I know that many of you are concerned with my score not seeming to be correct but I feel in my heart that Team PartyPOP will do their very best to take everything into consideration when making the final decision. I am still very hopefull (as I hope EVERYone in the contest is) ...none of us are a "shoe-in" in my opinion. There are valid reasons why each of us might be chosen.....

So lets not end this contest with bitter feelings because although we may be leaving without the "prize" we have all wanted so badly, we are no worse off than before and perhaps a little better off for the experience itself.

So let me close this by saying---
I enjoyed this contest --Win or Lose it has made the past fews months very exciting and given me a reason to daydream for countless hours about what I would do if I won. I have no hard feelings for anyone here despite some of the comments made. I realize none of us truly know each other and therefore its too easy to imagine the worst in each other. Truly it has come down to a decision by partyPOP....... We just have to let the cards fall where they may!: )

Good luck all..and thank you again to everyone who has voted for me and helped me out along the way!!!

Love and Light.......
