The medical literature said that I wouldn't live beyond age 3, and I'd never be able to walk or communicate. So it's
probably a good thing I couldn't read.
My mom put this website together in honor of my 20th birthday. Today (at 23) I still can't really read, but I do recognize
a few words on sight, especially my name, and I can write my initials. I communicate with a combination of a few verbal
words, ASL, & a communication picture wallet.
And not only can I walk, I'm on a bowling team too. My team, Susan's Strykers, came in 3rd place in the Fall '04 &
'05 Disabled Service's League. But I'm on a new team this year, because Susan didn't make the move with us to a new
facility. But that's okay, because on my new team, Royal Flush, I'm the only girl, and I love the attention.
Besides, we're doing very well so far in our division.

I really enjoy my life. It's full of interesting places to go, things to do, and people to meet. I have
many friends already, but there's always room for more. I like people a lot. Especially people I can con into letting me borrow
their sunglasses, take my picture, or sing "Itsy, Bitsy Spider" for me to sign along to.
While my family looks out for my best interest, they haven't overly sheltered me from life. I even got to
go white water rafting in Colorado when I was 8.
