playin in Provo

So this Wednesday me and my little sister ventured to Provo. It was somewhat of a big deal...she has never driven me in the van/ almost a bus on the freeway. Talk about a leap of faith! About an hour and 15 min we arrived safe and sound in happy valley. She did great. Our first stop was at Coldstone Creamry. Why? I had a blind date planned, and man was I nervous. So I was early, me and my sister went in and when he came she left. Over all the date from my end went great. Conversation flowed well, we have stuff in common, nice guy, and way good looking which did infact intimidate me at first. I hope there is a second date, but for now im going to play it cool and hope he initiates something. Next stop was at my good friend Jessica's house. She is a spit fire on wheels with platinum blonde hair who I had way too much fun with. We chatted about the Ms. Wheelchair pageant since she has done it before (need all the pointers I can get), checked out her brother's old school volkswagon van that he is restoring. Its pretty sweet and I want a pink one now ;). We then got stranded on the bottom floor unable to both of us get into the elevator and back to her place on the second floor.....one of her many nice neighbors that I met eventually helped us in. Next adventure was ordering pizza. First the lines were busy, then I pronounced the pizza I wanted totally wrong, then our order wasnt expensive enough for delivery, then the guy couldnt get through the code and I didnt know it, then it took me forever to sign the receipt and finally he accidentally walked off with the pizza.....all the while Jessica is hiding!!!!! oh it was funny stuff :) cant wait for our next adventure!!!!

So it has been a while…

So first of all this past year of school has been the best year of my life. There are few reasons why. First of all I pretty much had the best roommates that a girl could ask for. We had so many fun times together and adventures. We had little to no drama whatsoever ;) I loved our girls night out and simply being able to talk about anything with them. They also have no idea of the gift of freedom that they let me experience. It is something that most people take for granted and will never truly be able to appreciate it until it is taken away from them, which I hope it never happens to any of you. I also made new friends this year that will always hopefully be in my life. The boys next door as they quickly became known as, also gave me a great Gift. They accepted with all my physical problems and did it in such a graceful way. The best kind of people in the world are those that make you forget yourself that you are in a wheelchair. The boys next door did this. Throughout my whole high school and college life I have never felt accepted by male peers. This gives me hope for future dating. Another great thing that I learned this year, is that I truly have found what I want to do in life. I love those moments when you're sitting in class listening to lecture that really inspires you to want to make a difference and you know that you want to do that for a career. Social work is definitely my calling in life. Well I guess we will see after senior year internship is over ha ha. I also had some great caregivers that made my life day to day so much happier and care free. I hope I am lucky enough to find great ones again. So that was a very quick Roundup of school last year. Yay for junior year!
