Hello!
Thank goodness the sun is back out!! I now remember why I love summer so much. 
This is such an exciting time of year! The weather is perfect, my friends are all coming back into town, I’ll be on vaca soon, and my birthday is tomorrow 
I’ve been pretty busy as of late, but a better kind of busy than with school. The beach is packed, and the Hurley US Open of Surfing is beginning next week! This is probably the biggest event of the year for my city. Surfers from all around the world come to compete in a surf contest during the biggest set of waves. You would never believe how many people come to watch, theres always a few small concerts and celebs that come down too. Theres always a ton of booths set up loaded with free stuff. It’s too bad I’ll be missing most of it this year when I go off to Michigan. My school will even been competing in a Hurley fashion show called Walk the Walk, against 4 other schools in the nation to win 25,000 dollars! I wish I could watch it because all my friends will be in it! you can go on www.hurley.com/wtw to view the videos that my school posted to enter the contest, they should still be up.
Anyway, so I am very much looking forward to this weekend! My sister and I will celebrate with our family for dinner, and then Saturday we will have a small bonfire with our friends. Do you have any plans for this weekend?
So I reallly haven’t talked about dating much on here, and I think that’s because I have never really put myself out there from lack of confidence, if you will. But for those of you who are friends with me on Facebook…its true, (Courtney, this is for you! hehe :p) I have a boyfriend I am very happy, this is something new and exciting for me and I feel even more confident in myself because he doesn’t seem to care. For those of you who are in a relationship, or have had a bf/gf, did you ever discuss your CP with your significant other? I was super nervous about what he thought about the way I walk, but he reassured me that the way I walk doesnt really matter because I dont let it define me, and that it just makes me more of who I am both inside and out. So theres that! I’d love to hear about your dating experiences, I am curious to know what its like for others with CP out there. Share if you’d like.
I’ll be on to blab about the weekend, no doubt! Enjoy your weekend and summer!
