It has been posted in several places that I am retiring soon and now the time has come. I have officially retired.

I just want to say that it has been an amazing journey and I have met some really amazing people along the way and I am going to miss each and every one of you very dearly!!!

Let me start my little list:

The Original Becky - You are by far one of the most amazing women that I have ever met in my life. Your grace and class and dignity are truly admirable. For the past 10 years, you have ALWAYS been there for me to offer me advice and help whenever I needed it. You have been more than generous with your time and patience. I will always be thankful for that. You truly deserve nothing but the best out of life! You are such an amazing role model and I feel truly blessed to have been able to cross paths with you. I just adore you!

Milan - My bestie! You are such a great friend and I am so proud to call you my friend. You have been my rock and my shoulder and I could never thank you enough. I want you to know that I will always be here for you no matter what. You will forever be my best friend and I will forever be thankful to have you in my life! I love you!!!

Payton Lyn - Payton, Payton, Payton... How I have managed to meet so many wonderful ladies is beyond me, but you truly do set a wonderful example of what it is to be a lady. You and Becky really should teach a class. LOL!!! Since the day we met, you have be nothing but sweet, compassionate, honest and giving. The world is a better place with you in it. Being around you motivated me to want to be a better person. I want to thank you for all of the advice, help and motivation. I love you dearly and I wish you all the success in the world!

Tara Evans - Girl, you have to be the sweetest thing in the world. You have the biggest heart and the fact that you have enough time to care about as many people as you do just amazes me. You have the cutest personality and just blow me away with your spunk and sparkle. Your smile could literally light up a room! You call me anytime!

Truly Summer - Summer, I really want to thank you for the "boost" that you gave me to be me. You have been such a great cheerleader and I thank you for all of the favors that you did for me. You are great!!!!

Pearlman - Oh, my Pearlman. How I love you!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! You have a heart of gold!!! You renewed my faith in people when I needed it most. You showed me that there is good in the world. I have enjoyed every glass of wine with you and I love my special wine glass. I will cherish all of our fun talks and chats. The hobby world is a better place with you around. I will keep a very special place in my heart for the Pearlman!

SP Hunter - SP, you are greatness. You have been wonderful to me and I truly appreciate that. You have helped me whenever I have asked for it. I couldn't begin to thank you enough and I am going to miss counting calories with you or hearing about your Tweets. LOL!! Keep hunting the strange!

T-Bone - Thank you! You have always been very kind and genuine. The world needs more people like you.

Surge - I saved the best for last. Surge, if you never get credited for anything else for the rest of your life, I give you complete credit for saving me. You have been such a loyal and relentless friend. When I was in my darkest hour, you were there with kind words and encouragement. Along with something hilarious. When I truly felt like I stood alone, you were there. You kept me sane and grounded and you helped me push forward through it all. I love you more than you know. I am more grateful than you know. Thank you. I love you even though you wear that loud ass belt buckle. LOL!!! I love your metro style. I will always proudly be your country ass cracker! I love you!!!

I know that there are so many people that I didn't get to thank... Triathlete, Just a Road Warrior, D-Rock and more. I love you all as well.

I will continue to keep my phone until March 1st for references for providers only.

Thank you again and I love you all!!!

A very classy goodbye, which is consistent with the way you've always handled yourself on the boards. Wishing you well.

A very heartfelt, classy post. And a confirmation that well spoken, intelligent and good hearted people exist on both sides of the hobby world. Much success Liv, as you move on with your life!

This isn't the way I usually take someone off my "to do" list, but It's a good way. All the best to you, Luv. You deserve it.
