Many of you already know this, but in case you haven't heard I got Married!!!!  To one Melissa Schenck!  It was an amazing day and if you were there thank you for being a part of our special day!  If you didn't get invited...sorry, but we were trying to keep it small!  We could have very easily invited 500 people and we are so blessed to have so many friends!!  If you were not invited we still love you and appreciate your friendship!  We will be doing a love tour in August up north so stay tuned for upcoming dates!  I hope all of you get a chance to meet Melissa!  She's amazing!

Many of you know that I've been attending Project Walk in Carlsbad, CA and have been making great progress.  Well, I'm no longer going to Project Walk, but now I'm going to place called VIP NeuroRehabilitation.  Unfortunately there have been some changes at Project Walk and it was time for change.  VIP is amazing place with great people and some specialized equipment.  My favorite piece of equipment is the Lokomat, which allows me to walk on a treadmill.  There are only a few Lokomats in the country and I'm very lucky to have access to one.  Then I'm also working out at home for now and getting a lot of standing in.  

It has been 4.5 years since my injury and I continue to make daily progress.  Recovery is a slow and tedious, but I'm making progress and I will not give up.  All of the progress I've made so far is thanks to your support!

Grad school is going really well and I'm 5 credits away from having MS in Civil Engineering!  It has been a lot of work, but amazingly rewarding on many levels.  It has been refreshing to focus on something other than physical therapy.  A huge thanks to Swim with Mike, which is the organization that gave me a scholarship covering all my tuition.  Please consider supporting this organization my behalf by clicking on the following link.

Well, that's it for now.  Thanks for checking in and THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
