Thank You July 08' Road Trippers

[Cathe Friedrich]

Greetings to all of our July 08' Road Trippers! I wanted to thank you soooooooooooo much for one super-fantastic, memorable, weekend!!!! You are all so very sweet and you have no idea how special it is/was to have that one on one connection with you. I loved hearing about all of your hopes, dreams, goals, and accomplishments. I loved seeing your pictures, sharing in your excitement, and meeting your husbands/sisters/friends. I loved taking pictures together, signing your books/covers/badges/shirts, and hearing about the friends you made on the trip. I loved sharing classes together (holy moly you are all so fit), having meals together, and stretching in our pj's together. I loved having you on the set with me and stepping together, dancing together, laughing, crying, and shouting out "catheisms" together (what you do to one side you....DO TO THE OTHER!!!!). Simply put: I just loved meeting each and every one of you and spending time together!!!!!

Thank you so much for your very generous gift. I have your digital photo frame here on display and get so emotional viewing all of the pictures. Wow, already having the roadtrip pictures loaded up and ready to go was just the icing on the "roadtrip cake" (which was gobbled up in its entirety, by the way, ha). I can't think of a more perfect keepsaver than this. You truly didn't have to get me anything, but thank you from the bottom of my heart for your thoughtful generosity.

Goodbyes are always so very hard. Leaving one another on Sunday's brunch was so emotional. We shared many tears and laughter as we recapped our incredible time together.

Thank you again to our wonderful, HARD WORKING, unfaltering, roadtrip coordinators, Kathy, Debbie, and Lorrayne, (we couldn't do it without you!!!!) and to our official hands on photographer and ENORMOUS helper Cyndi (and thank you for making those wonderful Cathe roadtrip bracelets for everyone too Cyndi....that was so generous of you). Thank you also to Nancy in customer service who was also a HUGE help and a tireless worker....thanks so much Nance! Thank you to everyone in Cathe.com and EVERYONE involved in helping to make this roadtrip a smashing success.

Most especially, THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU JULY 08' ROADTRIPPERS
for coming and for your continued loyal support and enthusiasm. This trip would not be possible without YOU!!!!! I love you all!

I'll see you next workout!!!

Cathe,

I want so badly to post what my favorite class was, but I have to wait until the August RT'ers have their weekend!!!

As someone who usually has no problems with words...it is very hard for me to say just the right thing that captured the weekend for me, but you and your entire organization is first rate, and I am proud to have been a part of a truly amazing experience!

Oh dear god I don't know what to say! Here come the damn tears again. Thank you Cathe for absolutely everything. The RT was flawless. It is just such an unbelievable (and emotional!) experience to meet the person who has kept me going when I didn't think I could even get out of bed at times. In all honesty your workouts have really kept me sane this past year. Your personality and humor really come through in those workouts and it is an honor, to say the least, to be able to meet and workout with you. You are the most inspirational, beautiful, kind person I've ever met. Thank you for your time and generosity this past weekend. It means more to me than you'll ever know.

Oh and I wanted to add a special thank you to Chris, Nancy, the coordinators, and each and every one of your amazing staff. They were all so accomodating and I'm sure they thought we were crazy at times, but they never showed it. Please give them my thanks. I know this weekend wouldn't have been possible without all of their hard work. You and your crew are a well-oiled machine, that's for sure. Thank you again.

Cathe,

I can't even begin to tell you what this weekend meant to me. As a first time RT'er, I was very nervous. But meeting you put me totally at ease and your staff and the coordinators just made everything so much fun and it was such a great weekend. Ever since I got home I have been trying to tell everyone about it, but I just can't seem to put into words what it was like!

You and your entire organization are first class which is why I use your workouts and I know that you will always remain that way. And you truly are the sweetest and most genuine person that I have ever met.

The entire weekend exceeded my expectations by 100% and I'm already looking forward to next year. Thank you for everything!

Thank you so much, Cathe!! We know how hard you work and how many hours of preparation from your staff, the coordinators, Chris, and especially YOU to make this Road Trip such a memorable experience for all of us.

We will never forget it.

And we will use STS as yet again an opportunity to make you proud! Thanks, from all of us, for everything you do.

Hugs,
Cheryl (Yes, Utah Gal Cheryl who kinda fainted during the group photo - I'll always remember that, too, LOL!)

Cathe - Thank YOU so much for a wonderful weekend. I just gotta bottle me some of that "high" I felt at each and every workout. I was like, step, mambo, cha cha cha, what do you mean it's over!!! It went so quickly and I could really use that energy for those days that my knuckles are dragging! You and the girls are so inspirational and gracious for letting us take pictures and get autographs and I definitely will be back next year. Thanks again, Laura

Cathe,

This was my first road trip and definitely will NOT be my last! My sister and I (two of three - triplets) had a blast and are hoping to get our third sister Jen to come with us next year as we know she'll love it! You were amazing and so gracious with everyone coming up to you for pictures, your workouts were amazing and all I wanted was MORE, and it was all such a blast.

Thanks again!
Jolene

Cathe, thank YOU! You are the most gracious hostess I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. This was my third road trip, and it seems to get better and better each year. I can't wait for the next one!

Cathe-

Thank you so much for your endless generosity in opening up your life and gym to us, crazy fans! Thank you also to Nancy and Chris....they are super and you are truly blessed to have found them early in your life! True, heart-to-heart friends are hard to find! Although, I have had the fortunate experience to have found 5 of them at last year's RT!!! Yes, you, Lorrie, Pennie, Gayle, Cheryl, and Jean!!!!

Thank you again for such an awesome, uplifting and rejuvinating experience!!! I truly feel like I've been to a 3 day Southern Revival!!!
