Hello to everyone!!!
I hope everyone had a great beginning to this year. It is already April! Pretty soon the summer will be over and we will wonder where those sunny, 75 degree days went.
Save the dates! The 10th Anniversary Nicole’s Ride will be held on May 21, 2011
Update. My job is going very well. I am working for the Department of Defense (DoD) at Fort Benjamin Harrison in Indianapolis. It is actually called the Major General Emmet J. Bean Center, but everyone knows it as Ft. Ben. I am currently a staffing specialist for the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS), where I primarily recruit, rank, and hire new employees. I still love it. Sometimes it seems a little overwhelming, but I have met so many awesome people and even made some new friends, so it is all worth it. Plus, what I do helps support the solider overseas risking his or her life. And whether or not you agree with the reason they are over there, it is still a good feeling knowing that I support such an important cause. Feel free to learn more about DFAS at http://www.dfas.mil.
This winter was a busy one. This is the fifth year that I am judging gymnastics meets for the Indiana High School Athletic Association. The high school gymnastics season ran from January until March; however, I judge USA Gymnastics as well. That means I judged almost every weekend from January through April. It makes it kind of tough to have a social life, but I manage. I wouldn’t have it any other way though! I would never let my paralysis get in the way of it what-so-ever!
We would like to make a significant contribution to the Emily Hunt Foundation, which raises funds to support scientific research that seeks to find a cure for paralysis. It is my absolute dream to one day get up out of my chair and walk again. The Emily Hunt Foundation is one organization that could help make this happen. Please support this cause and help make my dream come true.
I am looking forward to a great summer, fall, and winter. I would like to thank everyone who has participated! We are always in the process of updating this website, so make sure you check out this website for more information. See you all real soon!
