Scion xD



Tough times always have a silver lining. Mine is that I got this awesome new car! Of course I would rather have NOT crashed in order to get this car, but hey, now I have my sweet ass xD. Thanks to Clint and everybody at Smart Scion for being so wonderful once again. Buy a Scion, I’m serious… my xA saved my life, and my xD is the coolest thing I’ve ever driven!

Now I’m going to get a little deep, so I apologize in advance. The new car is a coincidence in that I am now beginning a new stage of my life. I don’t exactly know what that stage is, but I do know that I am in a strange new place now. I don’t really know what the new place is, but I feel that even without any major events happening, I am stepping into a new chapter. And boy do I hate change, especially when I don’t even know what that change is. Within the last few months seven of my friends have gotten engaged, and one of my best friends just had a beautiful baby girl. In college, I was SURE I would be married and have children before 30, but that obviously wasn’t the case. I’m actually okay with that. It’s taken some time and a lot of thinking, but I do believe that almost everything happens for a reason. I need to grow much more as an individual before I take that next huge step. In the past few months, I’ve rediscovered how important all of my girlfriends are to me. In the past few weeks I’ve made many new friends, and really reconnected with the old ones. I am so lucky to have all of these wonderful people in my life. Where will the next few years take me? I have no stinking clue. But I will make darn sure to stick to my direction: live life to the fullest with experiences I love, and do everything I can to make a difference.

Last weekend we had a retreat for Huntington’s Disease Society of America chapter leaders in the great lakes region. Not only was it a wonderful weekend with some amazing friends, it was also a weekend that filled me with a renewed dedication to my life mission: seeing a cure for Huntington’s Disease. The state of Wisconsin has one of the strongest boards in the country, and I am proud to be the president. I am VERY excited to bring all of these new ideas to the board, raise insane amounts (please note the professionalism…) of money for research, and create programs to help all of the afflicted families in Wisconsin. Okay life, keep throwing punches, I’m going to keep doing what I do best.
