Ok so I hope I can remember everything!
Chris has been on spring break so we've been hanging out this week. We started off going to the lake this past weekend which turned out to be an eventful day of weather in central NC. 12 or so tornados ripped through the state missing the lake house and our knightdale home by just miles. We were very lucky
And here is the update you have all been waiting for. Chris and I are getting married on July 22nd! After my call in interview with HLN, 1800 registry had approached me and offered to pay for my wedding and honeymoon! As many of you know, the today show had plans to make us the wedding of the year but that isn't going to work out. I would have to have had a timed short wedding with a stop watch! Not my idea of romantic. But they will be assisting 1800 registry in some form with the wedding and sending some cameras down for some footage. Hopefully we will get to go to NYC again! The wedding will be here in NC and I couldn't be happier with the venue, wedding planners and other vendors!
There is some other cool news too! Colours wheelchairs is sponsoring me and I get a whole new cool looking chair. These chairs are super nice and stylish and I just can't wait to get one! Yay
In more current news, we are headed to the mountains in the van for some family fun! Chris and his dad are going to go fishing while the ladies and I have fun in the cabin and around town!
aND today? I got dressed 100% on my own this morning! That is a new first! :)

Lots of updates! So the other week was very eventful! I had my first meeting with some wedding planners and things are underway! But I'm leaving it at that for now!
Last week was also the senior games sand I had a blast! I watched a bunch of seniors from the center sing, dance and cheer their hearts out. I have been coaching the wake shaker cheer squad for 2 years now. Well this will be my 3rd. Unfortunatly only one senior could participate this year so I stuck with her and helped and I was super proud of her!
That night mom and I drove chris to charlotte where he would begin his race the next morning. We had the 3 of us, Roger the pup, and chris's bike all packed in the van and we were all sooo pumped for him. There were about 20 handcyclists and a bunch of regular cyclists. Well chris did it! He rode 60 miles a day to Myrtle beach, sc! We made it just in time to see him finish the ride and it was so amazing. Everyone came in together escorted by honking motorcyclists.
Other news? Lulus.com has offered to send me a box of some fun clothes that I pick out...and i've died my hair super blond!
