Hi Everyone!
I have some WONDERFUL news! Yesterday my friend Sarah and I went too see The B-52's live in concert! That has been my dream come TRUE ever since I can remember! We had a BLAST! The opening band was called Lazar Dudes, they weren't very good, but anyways The B-52's were AMAZING! The concert was two in a half hours long! We got back home too our apartment around 1:30am we were exhausted! But we had the time of our lives! The concert will be something that'll ALWAYS remember!
We also took pictures, so pictures will be posted when we get them developed! See all you have too do is put one foot in front of the other and make your dreams come true! Hopefully ALL of you have a special dream, if you work hard enough it will also come true for you as well!

LEARNING NEW EXPRIENCES WHILE LIVING INDEPENDENTLY AND MAKING NEW FRIENDS!
Hi Everyone!
I wanted too express my feelings too you about living independently! I have discovered that since I've been on my own, I have done things that I thought were impossible for me too do! For example, keeping a clean apartment, cooking, and making sure that ALL the bills are payed on time!
I've also made many new friends since I've lived here! I've met about four people that are very nice! We go down too the community room and play cards! I also met a very nice woman, and her name is Sarah, who has M.S.! We have a lot of the same struggles but the are different and we fight too do everything POSSIBLE that we can for ourselves! I also have met a man named Joe who is also very nice!
Cerebral Palsy and Multiple Sclerosis have many similarities! You have muscle aches, and it's hard for you too move quickly!
I've enjoyed living on my own! My Mom would be "VERY" proud of me! I just would like too thank everyone that made this journey in my life possible!
Since I've lived on my own, I have made a small community of friends that I hope will last for years too come! This was partially the idea of me living independently, I would be self-sufficient, and make a network of friends too do fun things with, I guess it looks like that I accomplished my goal!

THE ADVENTURES OF LIVING INDEPENDENTLY!
Hi Everyone!
I would like too tell you a little bit about the adventures of living independently when you have Cerebral Palsy! When I moved into my new apartment, I had too learn to do EVERYTHING for myself, it was scary at times but I also knew that I was a young adult who wanted a life for herself! I had too learn how too cook and clean! But now I'm very grateful that I achieved my goal! Also my family and friends have helped me along the way!
All of you should think about doing the same thing! I began too realize that I couldn't be SO stubborn! Now I'm living on my own! I'm cooking, cleaning, doing my own laundry and paying my bills and most of all I'm proud of myself for making my dreams come true! All you have too do is put one foot in front of the other and miraculous things will happen! You should NEVER be afraid of CHANGE, because there is ALWAYS CHANGE in life wheather we like it or NOT!
ALWAYS keep a open mind and a open heart too new experiences, if you do that your life will have many new and exciting journey's too experience! I've even applied for a part-time job that I'll hopefully be starting in the fall when school begins! Always look for new horizons and your dreams will come true!

TODAY MY PIANO ARRIVED TOO MY NEW APARTMENT!
Hi Everyone!
Today was a GREAT day! Today my piano arrived too my new apartment! I was very pleased because I have been waiting for its arrival ever since I moved in! It sounds WONDERFUL but it's very "LOUD"! I'm all set with everything I need! I've been in my apartment a little over a week now, it's exciting and scary at times, but I know I'll be just fine! I've been waiting too have a place of my own for a long time!
That's something that all of 'YOU" should think about doing in the near future as well! Your parents or gaurdians arre NOT going too be around forever too support and take care of you so that's why dear readers, I always 'STREES" too you that it's very important that you become as independent and self-sufficant as possiable, because someday you'll have too rely on yourself for EVERYTHING! Our parents and loved ones are NOT going too be around forever!
I have already done some laundry and cooking so that's a start! But there's MUCH more to living on your own than that! You have too cook, clean, pay your bills,"ON TIME", shop for YOURSELF! If you work hard enough and set your mind to do it you'll be just fine! You just can't talk about you have to "DO IT"!
I and my family are very happy with the progress that I've made! I hope I'll have many more happy life exerpiences in my journey, I guess things will happen when I least expect it! Keep up the good work!

Hi Everyone!
This is a very EXCITING time for me but very DIFFERNT! I'm am going too start a life for myself! I'm going too be in my new apartment hopefully this weekend sometime! My new cell phone that my Dad bought me will be here in a few days!

YOU are the ONLY person that can decide how YOU want your life too be! I choose too be as independent as I can, make MANY new friends, and live the life I've ALWAYS dreamed of!
Things will be very difficult for me to do, but I make things easier like using a walker with a seat and a basket too carry things around! If I get tried of standing I can sit down on the walker and rest for a few minutes!
I NEVER like too depend on other people for help, but sometimes I have no choice! If you need assitance from other people, try too remember to be as polite as possible! People DON'T want too help people that are rude! If you are polite too people then people will want too help and be with more than if your NOT! People DON'T have too help you, it's a choice that they make!
Make your family and friends proud of you, also PROVE too them that ALL of their help is MUCH apprecaited! When you see them, tell them, send them thank you cards! Every once in awhile it's nice for someone you care about knows that what ALL they do to help you isn't done in vein!
I tell my family and friends thank you "ALL THE TIME" so they know that I appreicate everything that they do for me!

TODAY I WROTE MY FIRST RENT CHECK FOR MY NEW APARTMENT!
Hi Everyone!
Today was a very exciting day for me! Today I wrote my first rent check for my new apartment! I can honestly say that I have a place that I can call my OWN to live in! I NEVER thought that my dream would become a reality! I owe MOST of the credit too my Dad "John" and my late Mom "Vicky" because they are the ones that made me who I am today, and taught me to be responsible. I also want to thank Bobbie Jo for all her help and support in helping to make all this happen too!
I have to give myself "SOME" credit as well for being brave enough to give it a try.
I wish my Mom could see how much I have accomplished in becoming independent and self- sufficient! She would be SO proud that I'm starting a life for myself! Making new friends, and keeping in touch with old friends as well!
This is a HUGE step and change in my life, but I'm up for the challenges! You'll soon find out that you can do MORE things on your own than you thought you could. All you have too do is NEVER be afraid to try NEW things! You NEVER know if you can do something if you NEVER try!
I'm very excited about moving into my new apartment and starting a life for myself. I hope ALL of you in the near future will find the time to come and visit!
You CAN'T depend on other people your WHOLE life, you have learn to depend on yourself and make your own decisions. Hopefully you'll always make the right ones!
I hope you and your families have a safe and Happy Easter!
