Joana is a pretty private person so I’ll give you a little glimpse.

If I may take a moment to be serious …

You never know what wonderful people will be brought into your life. It just takes one moment of your time to be kind and in return, you are blessed with a wonderful, lifelong friend. So please take the time to reflect on the fantastic people in your lives that have made your lives so much more fun.

Without Joana, there would be no zany weddings in the boonies, no odd emails back and forth in the middle of the night, no silly inside jokes. And, most of all, there would be no insane Barenaked Ladies songs on my Ipod.

Joana,

“If I had $1000000
I’d buy you a monkey
(haven’t you always wanted a monkey?) “
