if you asked me twenty years ago if i thought this day would happen, i would have told you no. it's wild to be here and while i wish my body wasn't firmly reminding me of everything i was afraid would happen when i got here, there have been a few happy surprises.

i was thrilled to have my friends and family fly in for my four day weekend, though it started as a nail biter with several friends dealing with flight issues. fortunately, everyone made it and it was a great turnout. it was really, really nice to have all circles of friends come out to celebrate with me.
