Hey!
I have had such a fun weekend! I got to go to Kings Island, in Cincinnatti,and that was such a blast. I can't wait to go back and ride more rides.
I LOVE pierogies, and I found some great GF ones! They are made by : Contes pasta. Potato and onion flavor, no wheat or gluten printed clearly on the label..love it! You should give them a try, I got mine at Raisin Rack.
This week has been so fun, but it has also been suprisingly difficult for me. Even when I went to Kings Island, I realized the only things I could eat there were fries or ice cream. When I was at work at the mall, in the food court, I can only have a baked patato or white rice. For some reason I just found this week very difficult and a pain. It's been a year of this and it has truly been hard for me. I feel like I can no longer just go out for the day, I have to plan ahead and bring my own food. I was feeling sorry for myself, but I truly hate doing that. Things could be SO much worse, but this can be such a pain sometimes. I remembered back to my own hero, Nick Jonas. He said in a speech about Diabetes, " At first I thought why me?! But then I thought, why not me?" This just reminded me to stop feeling bad for myself and make a difference.
I cannot wait for the day when I order a burger and the waitress asks me if I would like it on wheat or GF bread. I believe that's possible and I hope that sites like mine can help raise awareness.

Hi everyone. Graduation is around the corner, thank God
Today I went to a special luncheon for Project Mentor, a partnership with Nationwide employees and Big Brother Big Sister of Ohio and now many other companies, where were are assigned "mentees" in Columbus Public Schools. I have an adorable boy that I mentor, and I hope I am helping him, I know he is making me look at life differently. Today was a recognition luncheon at the convention center. Very cool to see Archie Griffin and Mayor Coleman in Person, and Jerry Jergenson, CEO of Nationwide. Its a great program, Im excited to have participated for 2 years now....I URGE more kids my age to help out........
Of course the rubber chicken was filled with breadcrumbs and cake was dessert, so needless to say I did not eat. Its times like that I feel bad for myself, but only for a second......look around, there is always something to make me feel better. For me, its tonights Amercican Idol, and the JONAS BROTHERS will be on!!!!!!!!!!
Hey everyone!
