Hi Folks,

Hi folks.

Does anyone know how frustrating it is to record vlogs, only to discover that the microphone on your computer is dead? Totally busted. Rigamortis has set in on my computer. I believe this is the gods way of telling me to hush! My voice has only just started to get better, so instead of pushing it I will resort to filling the silence with the clackity click of typing.

It had been a little while since we'd gotten Southern Gothic BarbeQue questions, but then all of a sudden the floodgates of curiosity were thrust open and new ponderings started rolling in. So lets jump into the dirty waters, shall we?

The question directed at me that I keep getting asked over and over and then (wait for it).......OVER, is if I will be returning to One Tree Hill.

Now you all know how grateful I am for the time I had on that show. I grew up there and I found myself in that environment. But the answer is no.

Look at it like this......years ago it occured to me that most people are like their favorite body of water. There are Ocean people, who find beauty in the overturning of things, always moving but always ending up back on the sand. There are Lake people, who hold great depths and are serene. There are Pond people, who are ambitious and appreciate the power of man to conquer anything...even the landscape. There are Swamp people, full of mystery and unconventional beauty. Then there are Swimming Pool people......who are chemically and smell funny. I have always been a River person. I grew up near a spiderweb of rivers as a kid, and I looked for arrowheads and animal footprints along their banks. I live next to the haunted Cape Fear River in Wilmington. That fluid forward motion is soothing to me, and it's a rhythm I find strength in. A river doesn't go back. It just finds a new bend to pool up in for a little while. But I am flattered beyond articulation anytime someone says I am missed there. Thank you, humbly.

Okay, next two questions come from Lucy Burks. Lucy sent us a hell of a list of questions. Methinks she will be a witty interview producer one day. Her first question is, what has been the best year of my life so far?
Well sweet Lucy, that is easy. This past year has been the most difficult, but by far the most rewarding year of my life. I have had to make some painfully hard decisions, both personally and professionally. And I had to make them on my own. Sometimes, all you want in the world is for someone to just tell you what the right thing to do is. That way, if it all goes to hell, you have someone to blame. But, the other side of the coin is that when you've made the right decision, it reaffirms what you know about yourself. I've spent more time alone in the past year, and for someone that grew up with three brothers and then lived in a dorm with 7 other girls and has always been around other people, that has been maddening at times. But here's the deal.....sometimes you have to break every bone in your own body just so that they will all grow back stronger. It has been the year where I found out who my true friends are. It as been a year of creative growth. A year of exploration and surprises. This community here at SoGoPro has been a great source of strength. It is a cyber-symbol of hope. An open forum for faith in art and kindness and invention. So yeah. This year I became Hilarie Burton. Stripped of all titles. Not defined as an actress or a this or a that. Just someone who likes whimsy and taxidermy and old smelling books. It has been the best year.

Lucy's other question is, if I were to be the opposite sex for one day what would I look like and what would I do?
Well duh. Tom Selleck! First of all, you all know how I feel about facial hair. And Tom's mustache is apparently as soft as kitten fur. Then there's that hairy chest. If I were a dude, I would Rogaine my chest just to get that effect. He's a beautiful, powerful looking man.......so yeah. Cross dress me into that, pronto. And as for what I'd do.......obviously for starters I'd pee standing up. Then I'd probably fight a dragon, save some maidens, join the Freemasons to learn all their secrets and get a cool ring, and I'd top off the night by performing as Jean Valjean in Les Mis. It takes a real man to hit those notes.

So there it is folks. A hearty helping of Southern Gothic BarbeQue! Keep on with the questions.

Till next time......

hi im gerald from phillipines

 

i watched season 1 - season 6.. i am very upset what  i heard that you payton and lucas will not coming back in season 7... how come? u r character is very inspiring . and the way you act is very true.. i am inspired with this show.. i learned a lot. i laugh a lot. im inspired  a lot.. payton and lucas pls go back to the show.. i missed the characters u potrayed.. i think u will be back maybe in season 8 or 9th.. godbless hilarie

 

i hope to see you soo.n.. payton with lucas.

 

 

Hi Hilary,

I appreciate what you are saying about OTH and growing from it and being able to move on. But truthfully, the show is not the same without you or C.M.M. I have not watched a full epidode yet of this season but my best friends said it is just not the same. My friends and I started high school together with OTH and went to college when they did. We used to call each other every day after and episode, no matter where we were scattered in the county  and talk about it. But I totally understand where you are coming from and though I hope you reconsider, i wish you all the best!

xoxo

"But here's the deal.....sometimes you have to break every bone in your own body just so that they will all grow back stronger. It has been the year where I found out who my true friends are."

I believe this statement to be so unbelievably true.  Just, what do you do when you feel like your bones are taking too long to grow back and your left with no true friends?

 

now, i know that sounds kind of depressing... but it's just on my mind.

I get on with watching One Tree Hill... I find that in spite of Peyton&Lucas are not here, they still in OTH ' spirit... Of course, I miss their physical presence, but for me, they still to be here. They are in other characters' mind, and are among their history, their lives. For me, OTH is not a simple serie but it is the life. Some people leave and others come. But the one we have loved, we never forget him. Besides, I think that Mark Schwann is so talented and has perfectly known how to make us feel that way.

I am really happy and I consider myself very lucky to know the SOGOPRO site. It is exceptional! Hilarie and all the team are just stupendous ! I feel I am among a wonderful community.

Love from France,

Lonae.

Hey Hil,

I watched like the first and second episode of season 7 in One Tree Hill and it sucks. Lucas and Peyton are what made the show amazing. I think everyone wishes you would come back and save season 7. 

-your biggest fan

HEY THERE,

I LOVE ONE TREE HILL AND I HAVE BEEN SOOO UPSET THAT LUCAS AND PEYTON ARE GONE I LOVED WATCHING THEM I WISH BOTH WOULD RETURN TO THE SHOW!!! THE ORIGINAL CAST IS AWESOME!!!! I AM A HUGE FAN PLEASE CONSIDER COMING BACK AND MAKE THE SHOW COMPLETE:)

Hi Hilarie.

So as we say in New Zealand....Kia Ora!!

Yes I am from New Zealand and yes I have been to One Tree Hill, which no longer has a tree so should really be called just a Hill...but anyways getting off the point here lol.

 

Just wanted to tell you that i have watched and been inspired by your character of Peyton Sawyer...I cried, I smiled, i laughed and I got angry as the character grew into the person we all hoped she would become.Some of my favourite scenes were: When Peyton said to Lucas, "Luke be Happy, i want that with all my heart" and even when i type that i have tears in my eye; Another scene that always makes me laugh is when Peyton and Lucas are in his "Mom's bed" and that laugh was just hilarious and makes me crack up laughing all the time. There were so many scenes I loved especially the Leyton and the Breyton scenes. I am off track again but I just wanted to say that yes I am sad that you are no longer on OTH as I think the program was mostly about the Leyton relationship and it would have been awesome to see Sawyer grow up on the show but I am glad that you are carrying on in life and I can see you on SoGoPro.com.

 

And I would like to say that you are a beautiful person, inside and outside. Your smile is amazing and could light up a room and make things alright. So go be Hilarie Burton, the Hilarie Burton you want to be and move forward in life and appreciate this moment in time.

Hey Hilarie, 

I think i know how you feel about technology, my laptop has slowly started freezing up on me slowly day by day. 

I would like to thank you for clearing up the One Tree Hill issue, i have for weeks been scouring all the OTH fan bases trying to find out news about your return. In the last few years watching you as Peyton in OTH has inspired me and also broadened my music tastes. Of course I, like everyone else is sad to see you go and pray to see you in the final ever episode because to be honest - OTH is not the same without you. (You probably hear this all the time, so i am very sorry for repeating what so many others have said before me)

But now we all have the wonderful SoGoPro, where yourself, Nick and Kelly help to make the world beautiful with art and your beautiful words. 
As for your beautiful analogy for people, I love it. I don't know what sort of person i'd be but i'm happy just bumbling through life at my own pace. As long as i have a good soundtrack i really don't mind what happens. 

I am a sucker for inspiring quotes like yours and one day hope to have my bedroom covered in them. For now i have to put up with writing them on bits of A4 paper and sticking them on my wall :P 

Thank you for the update, I, like everyone else here at SoGoPro love to hear from you. 

Take care

Hi Hilarie~

It really broke my heart as well to discover you will not be returning to OTH.  It really feels like a piece of me is gone and it is so hard to know that Peyton will not be returning.  You inspired me each week, and gave me so much hope with your and Lucas's relationship.  Thank you.  Please know how much you are missed.  Maybe your river will cross path's again with OTH down the way...rivers do that sometimes, don't they?

Thank you again for your inspiring words!  Thank you for SoGoPro...it is a gift to share in your life!

Hilarie, you are the best.  I just wanted to say that, and I can't wait to see all that u end up doing with your career; and though it breaks my heart that the OTH chapter in your life has closed, I know it's for the best since it's your decision.  Still, as an avid fan, I'm hoping that you and Chad would return for the final episode (whenever that may be) if u were to be called back.  Of course, that's your choice, and I'm sure you'll have a good reason for whatever that may be.  Thanks for being so open in your blogs and vlogs, and providing great analogies to us.

Take care.

Hey Hil, I love it when you post blogs. your style and method and way of writing is so relatable and i always find myself giggling or LMAO! While reading this blog though i really felt my heart stir...you have a way with words and its truly amazing.

Thanks for clearing up all the OTH stuff. Its been said tons of times but the show really isnt the same without you. Peyton Sawyer was such a life changing character and inspiration for me and it hurts to know ill never be able to see you play her again. On a much happier note, what's coming up  for Hilarie Burton is what I'm looking forward to now! What has come so far has been beyond amazing and inspiring and I am so happy to be on this awesome journey with you and SoGoPro! ;)

Ps: That body of water analagy you used was beautiful.

Glad you're feeling better

arr hil =) i think im gonna save this whole entry....cause it inspired me and gave me answers in so many ways...

i just want to say that you are and amazing person!!keep up the good work and bring good vibes all around you!

hope yo hear from you soon!

im not sure what this production offers but im interested on --uhm, just want to try though--a novel actually, i know it's corny but just want to know if im good at it...


Hilarie,

This last post was so inspiring. Firstly, you write beautifully. Your words are art and I am in love with them. (How is the book going, by the way??)

In addition to their beauty, they are also incredibly inspiring and insightful. It's not easy making decisions on your own and striking out on a new path. Your deep understanding of who you are is something to strive for. And your words are something I have taken to heart as I try to find my own next steps. Thank you.

I look forward to watching SoGoPro continue to grow. Thank you so much for letting us along for the ride.

Hey I'm not really replying to your comment anneliese!

Thanks Hilarie!! for answering my questions. I was trying to think of some interesting questions hoping they would stand out and you'd answer them. I guess that worked. Interview producer? Maybe sounds interesting.

It's a shame that you won't be returning to One Tree Hill but it's great what you're doing at the moment and I wish you all the success.

this is the only way that i can write my message. for some reason it wouldn't let me write it normally.

colds suck. i just had one and for the first time in five years i've had to stay at home because of a bug. i'm normally really healthy so it really sucked to be groaning and sneezing all day. i'm glad you're on the mend.

i once recorded a whole three scenes for a music video i was making with my friends before realising that there was no film in the camera. we had taken about an hour and the shots would make up most of the video. thinking back it was funny but at the time we were really pissed.

it's odd that you suddenly recieved so many questions for the Southern BarbeQUE. even though i know that i, and loads of other people, will miss you on one tree hill, i'm glad that you're moving on. it must be great to feel like you've learnt enough from that one show to be able to move on.

i've always felt like a lake person which means it takes me forever to move on from one place, and i take things way too seriously but i listen to people well. i'd probably fight dragons too, not that i don't fight dragons as a girl as well. boys are most likely to be dragons i think.

look forward to hearing from you again soon

Technological rigamortis - this is indeed a first.

I am glad you have addressed the One Tree Hill "issue". Perhaps now your fans will remember your work on the show fondly and move forward with you as you embark on new projects. There is more to Hilarie Burton than Peyton Sawyer as this website has clearly shown.

Tom Selleck is an interesting choice - though not for the facial hair as I am not a fan. Who can forget Magnum PI or Three Men and Baby (I read recently he was trying to get a third film in that franchise going). Peeing standing up would also be at the top of my list. It would also be great chance to figure out the fascination with constantly touching one's ...uh...junk. And then maybe I'd like to channel Sean Connery and perform a dare-devilish Bond stunt.

Good to know you're on the road to recovery and not pushing yourself to do more than your body will allow you. As the saying goes, "slow and steady wins the race".

hi hilary I'm happy to know that you're in better shape with your path, and also that you are able to stop one tree hill at the right moment.Il is very difficult to have to break away from this person (peyton sayer), but unless you are you hilary burton, courageous, tenacious and who know what you want.J love the people who go ahead and do not leave demoralized by the obstacles that life their reserve, although it will be hard, I know you are going to arrive, and we will all be with you.

Hey Hilarie!!! Great blog. I hope you get better soon.  I was really hoping that you would come back to OTH for AT LEAST the final episode. The show is so not the same with Chad and you gone. I miss the interaction between Peyton, Brooke, and Haley. You are doing amazing things in your life and SoGoPro. Can't wait to see more. 

dana16's picture

Hey Hil...I loved your explanation of the types of water people such a very insightful and intricate thought process I see what you mean!! You are such an amazing person, the Hilarie Burton you have found and allow us to meet here on SGP. As far as OTH goes I still watch because I love the characters they have inspired me to love over the last 6 and a half seasons but it is like a whole new dynamic of a show without you and Chad. I think that as the actress Hilarie Burton that is an amazing feat to accomplish such an impact that a show is less without you! You will always be successful because you move forward and I am really glad that I get to see the real you here on your site because so much of what you inspired us to love in Peyton is really Hilarie Burton! As I have said before you have a great little writer in you Hilarie and I can't wait to buy YOUR novel someday! I love this part of your website and the answers you guys give us and the time and dedication you put into communicating with us, it's greatly appreciated so THANK YOU Humbly!!

 ~Dana

So glad to hear you're doing better! just keeping resting and cross you're fingers. well it's sad to know that you're not going to be returning to one tree hill, but it is also you're time to go out and show yourself, and become who you want! which is very exciting because we will all get to see so much of you then we ever would at one tree hil, there you're just one character. and on you're own everybody see another side of hilaire burton. well can't wait for everything else we are going to see. it's only been a year, and look how far sogopro has come! imagine in 5 years and how many more people are going to follow behind the little company that could!! well good luck to whatever comes you're way hilaire!

hi hillary hope you make a new vlog soon from lachlan australia i hope you ar geting beter i miss your vlogs

Loved the References to the different type’s o f people, that is one of the reasons I love this community here there’s always some new way of thinking y’all share. You will surely be missed on the show but we all know that you need to spread your wings and find new ways to do what you love so good luck in all you do and stay true to yourself.  Nice question and answer to being the opposite sex for 24hrs plus it is nice to have someone to blame once in a while and who says you can’t make someone up to blame when you make the wrong decision yourself lol.

if i was a guy for one day.......thats a good question!!  all us girls want to pee standing up....lol....i would hit a urinal....get the exact etiquette....lol!!!!

Sometimes, all you want in the world is for someone to just tell you what the right thing to do is...sometimes you have to break every bone in your own body just so that they will all grow back stronger. It has been the year where I found out who my true friends are. It as been a year of creative growth. A year of exploration and surprises -> its like you are talking about my life...and I can understand you 100%...this year I lost my "friends" and my long time boyfriend in the same day I found out I have a tumor on my leg near my limf knots...I didnt know what is going to happen to my and suddenly I was alone...they couldnt deal with it...at first I was so desperate and in this time I screwed up my college becouse I coldnt concentrate on anything...I guess that was my breaking of every bone in my body :) but than I found the strength in me,my mam, my sis (I lost my dad 5 years ago...) and the friends that stayed the whole time with me...now...5 month later...I became ME! Im no longer ill...but this experience brought to light some things...now I know who are my real friends and who actually cares about me...and I decided to dedicate myself more to things I love like photography and acting...becouse...life is short...and I plan to enjoy it ;)..thank you Hilarie for for the character of Peyton Sawyer...it gave me strength when I lost my dad as a tenage girl... I watcht OTH just because this girl has a similar lifestory to mine...and thank you for SoGoPro becouse It gives me ideas and a safe place as a joung artist....

Strange.... I was having such a similar convo with my friend and my brother just now! I'm at a crossroads in my life, where I NEED to make a decision or I'm pretty much screwed but it's SO difficult. I'm a law student and I HATE law. My real passion is film but I'm Indian so film just isn't an option according to my Dad. I wanna drop law but I just can't do it until I let the old man know - but I can't do THAT either. SUCKS - like you say - WHY CAN'T SOMEONE MAKE THE DECISION FOR ME??!! One the one hand is the money and on the other is the chance to do something I love. As a sikh I'm not into the money, but my Dad is...ooooooh....any advise would be great?!

Sorry I went on a bit of a rant there, but I just find it so easy, once I get going, to just let it all out on these damn things. You all probably think I'm a nutta. I probably am....

*sigh* that felt good...

Thx for clearing up the OTH issue. Eventhough I was looking forward to one modre episode with you, Sofia and Bethany at the end of season 7 (guess it's the final season, and coul've been fun with a reunion.But I did love the S,P and B scenes though) But, cleary not the case, so it's just to move on:) Remeber at the beginning of the show when Peyton cried in Every episode, must have been sad to do that almost every episode. I think you r such an amazing person! One of my dreams is that I'll get into the moviebuisness and get to work with you. well, that's not gonna happen, but Hope I'll see you in any new film or something in the future. Keep up the Good Work!

Hey Hilarie,

Im glad that you are starting to feel much better, it is not fun when you are sick... And on finding out who your real friends are... that kinda sad too... i think it sucks when a person goes through that... which i can relate too... i got really sick this year... and im going to tell you something really personal something which heaps of my friends and even family don't know because its hard for me to talk about... but i started suffering from really bad anxiety and depression. so bad i couldnt have lunch with my friends without feeling like the walls were closing in on me... it got so bad that i didnt get out of bed for a month... then i started to fail uni... and my friends didnt understand, they said there was nothing wrong with me... they got annoyed with me and stopped talking to me... then i finally admitted something was wrong and got help... which was something huge for me... now im on tablets and doctors have helped me manage it really well, im getting alot better grades in uni and ive made new friends and and even some of my old friend have come through for me and have really helped... and then i this is gonna sound stupid... but i learnt to laugh... im 21 years old and i remember what it feels like, the emotion behind laughing and smiling... i know that it seems silly, but to me it wasnt... i didnt even know i wasnt feeling those things and then i felt them and it was awesome... and now my friends always say its so good to see me smiling... and im glad too... that i have something to smile about.

anyway onto happy subjects... im either a lake or a river person... some of my best memories are at lakes or rivers... where i water ski... it is so much fun... and don't you just hate computers... i know i have a love, hate relationship with them lol

hope you have a great day

Hey Hilarie! Thank you for clearing up the issue about returning to OTH. There is a rumor going around that you would be guest starring in an episode later in season 7. It is said that you would return for one episode (without Chad). But obviously, it is now a lie. Thanks for clearing that up! Although, i was realy looking forward to seeing you back on OTH with Sophia. You both are my idols, and i miss all the Breyton (Brooke/Peyton) scenes!

I also just wanted to say what an inspiration you are to all of us fans! Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions and update us with whats going on in your life.

I just submitted my college application to the University of North Carolina - Wilmington, so i hope that maybe i can get a chance to cross paths with you to tell you how amazing you truly are in person rather than in words on a screen!

Take care!

<3 Danielle

Hey Hilarie -

Such a truly honest blog from a really smart lady.  To be able to look back and realize what a profound effect events in your life have had on you at such a young age is pretty amazing.  When I was in my late twenties I still didn't know where my place was in the world.  it took a few more years and a lot more life experiences to get me there.  And it is good to be alone and find out for yourself who you can trust and who is just along for the ride.  As one of four kids I also believe you are never truly alone but can feel lost.  I am happy for you and so amazed at your insight.  Though I am sure you grew up faster than alot of us.

I am sure there will be other years in your life that willl challenge you and make you question choices you have made and people you have trusted but for now, enjoy the sunshine.  It is such a great feeling.

Love the Southern BarbeQUE sessions.  Sucks you had to type but hey, we appreciate it :)

Enjoy your weekend,
Nicole - Boston

you always make me smile when i hear from you,you are the best,and yes! of course you're missed on OTH!you were the key figure,you're my inspiration hilarie,ever since i got my sogopro t-shirt,i'm sure that everything can happen now,the fact that the tee came to me to my far-off country on the balkans ...

i look forward to see you on screen in your new movies !

and let's hope next time technology won't be so egotistic and willl let you make the video for us!

good luck with everything you start !

I genuinely Laughed Out Loud to your concept of swimming pool people. Its great to hear from you again and the way in which you write about your life and finding who you are, is truely inspiring.
What ever you do, you'll have the full support of your true friends, and true fans. You'll always be missed on OTH but i can't wait to see where you go in the future, you're full of success, its clear.
Continue to get better Hil!

Technology Hilarie.  It can be evil!  Though I am impressed with your perseverence with delivering a written response.  Glad to hear you're starting to feel better.
I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the metaphors you used to describe ones self.  It's a lovely way of explaining how you move in this world.
We all know some things have to come to an end.  Change is good.  And for you.  It has been amazing!  To see what you've accomplished.  Now that's admirable. 
Like all good things, it sounds like it's been tough.  Sometimes I wish we could just side step the barriers.  Though in a strange, twisted way I embrace them.  For when you finally take a step over that hurdle and see what has been achieved, no matter how unbearable; at least you know the truth.

Ah...you'd be one hell of a man!

Always happy to hear from you Hilarie. I will never forget sitting in front of the TV around age 13 waiting for TRL to come on so I could see my favorite host (that has ever been on that show).. you! When it was time for you to move forward and take part in OTH, boy, I was down with that. Peyton quickly became one of my favorite characters and you, a favorite actress. 

I knew one day OTH would be in your past, but boy it's so great to hear that you found yourself throughout those years and that experience. In a way, I guess I did too. I cherish those 6 seasons OTH got to have you, and I am fully supportive of your decision to keep pushing on. I just might have to be a River person myself.

It's a pleasure to now be able to check up on SoGoPro every day and see you prospering in a place where you have truly always belonged. We're always behind you and will be until, well... forever.

You really are inspiring to follow- it has been years for a lot of us since you came around into our lives. I can safely say you have made an incredible difference in not only my life but many many...many others.

Thank you for taking the time to answer those awesome questions,

Kendall

maygen_lauren's picture

wow. haha a list of questions eh? thats tallent

but dissapointing to hear about oth. the show will obviously never be the same.

but like you, i live right near a river, now this river... is huge and long and contains no arrowheads. its man made, and its wonders go as far as the damn that seperates it from the next one. yet i do enjoy the hours and hours of summer activites it supplies for me.

wake boarding,

skiing.

tubing.

what can i say.

Great to see new questions coming through, I thoroughly enjoyed your responses! In particular your thoughts on most people being like their favourite body of water. I had never thought of it that way, but it is quite true.

Of course everyone is going to miss seeing you on One Tree Hill, but we are all excited for you as you take on this new chapter in your life. It's so exciting to follow!!

Rest up & hope you have your voice back completely soon. I feel your pain as I woke up without a voice this morning... its awful.

Thanks for the blog.

Hey Hilaire, you know in your blog your were saying that you found out who your best friends were.Because have you ever had someone you've known forever and as you grow apart as you get older that they were just using you and never really cared about you and that society's has changed them when they think they are better than you. Have you ever been hurt like that.

Do you have a real best friend? I've discovered that i don't have a real best friend. I am an only child so i am pretty used to being alone. But i discovered that my best friend was my grandad, he died but i will always remember that we used to have a secret toffee jar and he would sit in his normal chair and me as always in the rocking chair and he would just tell me stories. I miss that .

Have you ever missed someone like that? I hope you can relate, and i also hope that you reply.

You are my idol you are soo pretty and i want to be just like you when i'm older!

Thankyou sooo much .

Lots of Love Orlagh. J xxxxxx

hey hilarie,

 

WOW! i really like this blog post. I can't speak from experiences but it must seem nice just to be  "Hilarie Burton" with out the "Hilarie burton the actress, or Hilarie burton the girl from one tree hill" always following closely behind. I'm glade that your just good ol hilarie burton because "Hilarie burton" is the best and I think the world is a much better place with her(you) in it.

And thanks for answering the forever pending question about oth. I hope now everybody can FINALLY lay the fact that your not coming back to tree hill to rest.=]

Thank you for sharing Hil. From your descriptions, I think I'm an Ocean person. I can find beauty in Anything and I love being near the ocean. In fact, I'll be at the Pacific Ocean tomorrow. I need to go there at least once a month to clear my head and just breathe. Since it's only 1 1/2 hours away, I tend to go there more weekends than not. 

While I was sad to lose you on One Tree Hill, I appreciate you SO MUCH MORE with SoGoPro. I have learned a lot about you, the business and myself. You have finally pulled me from my shell and come to find out ... there was a pearl inside the whole time and I didn't even realize it. You and Kelly and Nick and my fellow SoGoPro team members have made my last year one of the best years of my whole life and I appreciate each and every one of you!!

xoxo
