Off to Houston tomorrow!
Yesterday, my church community blessed me and my friend and newly drafted personal assistant, Ryan, as we prepare to embark on MIUSA's Youth Leadership and Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Disability Rights Exchange Program. It's wonderful to truly feel their support.
And, I must say, I've been surprised that, unlike Christie, I haven't heard any naysayers about my going on this trip - a person with major physical and health impairments going off without his parents. Hooray!
Thanks again for the kind comments and words of support. I appreciate them.

That's a great photo David. Why I can just feel the love! Tell your Mom we'll be thinking of her too. I know what it's like to put a son on a plane and send him off!
We look forward to hearing about your trip...
Yay!! I sent you an e-mail. I know you're busy and carzy and excited and nervous!!
Have a great time! Our prayers are with you, too! xoxo
