Hey

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to say hi to you all and let you know that I'm doing great! I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year! I also hope 2008 is treating everyone well! I had a great holiday season! It was nice to be home w/ my fam. and Al (who I live with now) this year. We even had a smaall New Years party at our apartment. So this year was much better than last, except everything with you Colleen. You came through it well though, which was no big shock to me bc. you're much like me, you're a strong person. I can't wait to come to England and see everyone in the spring! Especially you Nanny! It seems like forever since we have all been there (which it has been since your wedding Uncle Guy and Aunt Terri)! I mean Tracey and Nick;s daughter was only a month old at the time and they hadn't had their son yet and now their 8 and 9. As many of you already know, we all just got back from Florida, where Becs ran the Disney marathon. She did great and even qualified for the Boston Marathon! I hope to do the same someday and I'm almost at the point where I can start running again, thanks to my great therapists at St. Camilus and the ones at Sunyview (which I go back to in a month)! I'm taking a cooking course at JCC in the Spring and hope to be back at Daemen in the fall, at least part time. I won't be running yet, but from what I read, it's a miracle that I can walk good and eat on my own! Anyways, I'm doing great and can start driving again right after I take the course and test in Rochester (which is where one of my best friends-Alyssa- and her family live)! Alright well I hope you all have a great year and thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. You've helped me get where I am today and where I hope to be a year from now!!

Hey Nat,
You are such a rock star! I love checking in on the blog and see how you are doing and such and it's great to see how far you have come and the great attitude you have had during your whole recovery. A friend of mine at school got reading your blog and has been praying for you all along. I am living on Boston this semester so if your sister runs the Boston marathon let me know and I will go cheer her on! Keep on keepin on my sista :)

Hey Nat,
