Hi Everyone!
I just wanted too wish ALL of you a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! My family and I usually have Christmas dinner and then open gifts and just celebrate the day together, play Christmas music on the piano and play Christmas CD's!
One of my Christmas wishes is too work on my independence, and hopefully I'll be in my OWN place in a few years! I hope ALL of you will think about doing the same, because if you DON'T learn how too be independent your life will NEVER be easy, so please take my advice!
Work your HARDEST on being self-sufficant and independent! I GUARANTEE you if you do that, your life will be MUCH happier! Don't always depend on someone else for help "DEPEND ON YOURSELF"! You are probably braver than you think are, you just have too try new things! Sure everything is scary at first, but if you NEVER try them you will NEVER succeed in becoming independent! Try everything yourself BEFORE asking someone else for help, I'm sure if YOU do that you'll find out how much you CAN do independently!
I hope you and your families have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year I'll talk too ALL of you in 2010! Keep up the good work!

TODAY WE LOST A VERY SPECIAL MEMBER OF THE FAMILY! "A TRIBUTE TOO BOOMER" !
Hi Everyone!
I am sad too say that today we lost a very special member of our family! We lost my Aunt Marcia's 10 year old Golden Retriever "Boomer"! He was a lovable dog to everyone that knew him! He would give you a great big snuggle and a lick on cheek to show that he loved you!
Sometimes people with Cerebral Palsy have what they call a Service Dog! Which usually is a Golden Retriever or a Chocolate Lab! People who work at specials schools for the disabled, disabled apartments, and Nursing Homes train the dogs and also train people with Cerebral Palsy or other disabilities too be self-sufficient and live on their own! Which is very frightening for someone with Cerebral Palsy!
Usually the dogs have too wear what they call a harness over their back and people are NOT allowed too pet them or touch them unless the owner of the animal says that it's alright for you to do so because the dog's main purpose is too help the disabled person live a normal life as possible!
We will miss "Boomer" dearly but we know that he is out of pain and in a very special place! Thanks Boomer for bringing so MUCH joy and love into every one's hearts and lives! You are,were, and always remembered as one of the GREATEST dogs in the world! "We love You and Miss You"!

MY FAMILY AND I HAD A VERY EVENTFUL WEEKEND!
Hi Everyone!
My family and I had a very eventful weekend last weekend! We went too the home of my Dad's new wife's parents too visit them! I had a fun time, I went swimming in their in-ground swimming pool and hot tub, "which is in the house"! Then one day we went too the dollar store and I bought a few things I wanted!
Then we came home and had dinner, then the next day we were on our way home!
You should NEVER be afraid too try and do things that you enjoy! ALWAYS have fun when you can! NEVER dwell on the negative, always reach for the positive, if you do that, you will find your life can and will be MUCH happier and brighter!

LOVED ONES THAT ARE ALIVE IN OUR HEARTS AND ALWAYS BE WITH US WHERE EVER WE GO!
Hi Everyone!
Today is a very special day that I hold close too my heart! Today would have been my Uncle John's 61st birthday! He would be very proud of me for what I have accomplished! My Dad, his new wife, and I are looking into me moving into my OWN place! Sure, it's scary for me, but if you NEVER face reality and changes, you WON'T ever stop being afraid of life!
That's one of the things that my Uncle John always taught me, is that you work for what you want! You may NOT always get it, but at least you tried YOUR best!
He was a very GENEROUS man! He would help anyone in ANY time of need, he and my late Mom taught me a lot about the person I want too be!
If you don't get something prefect the first time, it's OK! Always try too improve yourself in anyway you can! If you need help, DON'T be afraid too ask! Family and friends are ALWAYS willing to help, YOU just have too be brave enough to ask! In return with asking family and friends for help YOU have too be willing to DO what you SAY you are GOING to do!
My Uncle John would be very proud too see how much I have accomplished and that I am the person who I am today because of it! I will NEVER stop learning ways to become independent! I find ways that are easier and the BEST for me! My loving friends and family are helping me succeed my goals in becoming a independent adult! That's all I can hope for!

Hi Everyone!
My family and I went on a WONDERFUL vacation last week up North! We went fishing, swimming, and boating! It was just nice to relax and enjoy the week! We also celebrated my Dad's birthday while we were there! We also watched a lot of movies, played some C.D.'s and just had fun!
You should always take the advantage too enjoy your life whenever you can! The weather was BEAUTIFUL! One night we had a bonfire, smores and a glass of champagne on the pear and had a very fun boat ride to celebrate our vacation! So all in all we had a FANTASTIC week! I'm hoping we can do it again real soon!

PRECIOUS MEMORIES THAT WE ALL TREASURE AND WILL FOREVER LIVE ON IN OUR HEARTS FOR A LIFETIME!
Hi Everyone!
Today is a very special day that I hold very sacred in my heart! Today would have been my Mom "Vicky's" 54th birthday! I hope I have shown her how independent I've become! She would be very proud of me! I am where I am today because of her!
So please take my advice it's very IMPORTANT for you to become as independent as possible! Someday the people near and dear to our hearts are taken from us WAY too soon when we least expect it and we NEVER get too thank them for all that they have done for us! I feel bad because NOW I can't do anything in return too let my Mom know how special she really was, still is, and will always be!
So please, dear readers make SURE that you tell and show the people in YOUR lives how MUCH you appreciate ALL that they do for you! Also let them know that even if they have passed away they did a WONDERFUL job in helping you become the person that you are today!
"I OWE IT ALL TO YOU MOM, YOU'RE THE BEST THAT MONEY CAN BUY"! "THANKS FOR EVERYTHING"!

TODAY WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR A BABY SHOWER!
Hi Everyone!
I just wanted too let all of you know that I went too a baby shower for a close family friend! It was a very nice shower with food and drinks! My family, friends and I just enjoyed ourselves! We had a very nice meal, then after the meal, we had chocolate cake and cookies, then we all sat down too open gifts!
When I'm around family and friends I DON'T feel out of place because they accept for who I am! That's a WONDERFUL feeling, knowing that no one cares what you like or how long it takes for you too get some where or do something! ALL that matters too them is that you are having a good time together and you are part of the crowd!
Sometimes people with Cerebral Palsy feel out of place or that they shouldn't be allowed too have the same experiences and fun as everyone else, because they need EXTRA help! Also you feel very embarrassed and sometimes you're left out of things that you really like or want too do because you physically aren't able too do what everyone else is doing! In MOST cases people are NOT willing too help you, but I'm VERY lucky that I have people in my life who WANT and are WILLING too help me with whatever I need!
PLEASE everyone, take my advice, try something NEW everyday BY YOURSELF! Then you know you can and will accomplish whatever you want too do in YOUR life!
I also have some more GREAT news! For the FIRST time EVER I cooked a entire meal by myself, I felt very independent! If you DON'T try things that you are scared of you'll NEVER learn how too NOT be afraid of doing them! When I live in my OWN place someday I know I WON'T be afraid of cooking, cleaning, and go on with things in my own life because I have prepared myself for the obstacles that I will face! But that doesn't mean that I'll throw in the towel and say "this is too hard" or "I can't do this" ! The MORE times that you practice things that you WANT to learn, the better you'll get at doing them! The MORE often you do them WITHOUT anyone's help, you'll SOON figure out that you can do them "ALL BY YOURSELF",you'll feel GREAT about yourself and be a happier person inside because of it!
You should take NEW steps "EVERY DAY" on being independent and living "ON YOUR OWN"!
