Hey Everyone!
My name is Valerie and I live in NY (well,at least for the next two weeks). I am in the process of packing up and getting ready to move down south to Charlotte, NC.

I have been a diehard fan of Ace since the beginning. He sealed the deal completely when he came out that night in February and performed 'Father Figure'. I was done. Signed, sealed, delivered, he was my #1 Idol. Nothing any other Idol did could knock Ace out of the #1 spot. I watched loyally every week until he was **tears** eliminated too early. In 5 short months, Ace has climbed quickly up my scale. He is giving my fave music celebrity, AJ McLean, a run for his money, that's for sure. And I have been an AJ fan for 11 years and counting. The highlight of my Ace experience has got to be getting the opportunity to meet him at the pre-show meet & greet this past Saturday. Absolutely the sweetest, most sincere man. Pictures do NOT do him any justice. He is even more gorgeous in person. But I shall save all the details of the meet & greet for another day.

I need to get some things done here.

Hope to get to know y'all very well!
