St. John's was incredible. People everywhere were amazing. The whole experience was out of this world, including the fog, volcanic ash, and yes, even Justin Bieber. We arrived on the red carpet just as he jumped out the back of his van.
Now it's all over, and with that a sigh, back to life. It hard to believe that it's been two months since the nomination press conference, where I sat alone, nervous, and wondering why I was there?
Thank you to everyone who listened. - Julie
