Today was 'that' day where I realize how much I love boston. Winter has finally left(lets hope for good), and my day was filled with pure awesomeness. I had been planning a MS charity walk for a few months now and had invited all who wanted to participate in it to join me. It was a 5 mile walk along the south shore to help raise money to find a cure for MS. It was probably the free t-shirt, but I talked six of my friends into joining me! We had a great time. The past few months we have been trying to earn money.. my team "Marsea" had set a goal of raising at least $1500. With the help of all my amazing friends, family, and random acquaintences..... we met our goal. We earned exactly $1500. I am in awe as to how generous all of you are. It never fails to amaze me to see the love and willingness you each show to me! I dont have any doubt in my mind that a cure is going to be found and one day I will be FREE of MS! This is only possible because of how great you all are. Anyway the walk turned out to be a huge success. It was a beautiful morning, I was with great friends, and we got to walk along the coast in the fun new england town of Cohassett. The atmosphere was so fun and I always get so inspired by people that are willing to give of themselves to help others.
I really do want you all to know that I appreciate all the thoughts, prayers, and love that you have shown me over the past year that I have had MS! It means the world to me that I have such a great support system. Wish you each could have joined me in the walk... but dont worry, NEXT YEAR I am recruiting you all.
Oh ya I thought that I needed to add a few pics from the party my friend Natalie put on to raise money for the walk. She came up with the fun idea of "Cupcakes for a Cause." Look at all the amazing cupcakes she made and sold as charity!! Thanks nat for rocking and creating such a fun event. It means the world to me.
This is what else has kept me sane the last few weeks.
BLUE MAN GROUP... I especially loved getting mobbed and strangled by rolls and rolls and rolls of toilet paper.
Rockin' it at the 'silver pearl' cocktail party.
Also went to a Tristan Prettyman concert at Paradise Lounge. She was great.
Other than that have just been trying to keep my head above water with all my homework and work stuff to get completed before the end of MAY! I am literally going crazy trying to get everything accomplished. Just trying to take it one day at a time... and then it will all be oveR!

What a crazy full weekend!
I'm glad we're new besties for a lot of reasons, but especially because you're around to photo-document my life! XOXO!
You are SO amazing! I wish I could've been involved with your MS walk. And you know I would've been buying up like ten cupcakes and eating them all! Loving your dress in those last few pics...with the sash. You look amazing! I really miss you and can't wait until you move back home to ST. GEORGE! Okay, maybe you never will, but you need to move closer and visit lots more!
