Wow!! Only two days until I leave for Washington, D.C.

   I have been very busy getting ready for this trip. My mom and I went shopping for a new dress and I had my nails done on Friday. We will be leaving on Tuesday morning, but I have a lot to do before that. I have an end of the year trip with my class tomorrow where we will be swimming and having a big picnic. I will be graduating from my school at the beginning of next week.

    This summer my family is planning to go to South Carolina. All of my aunts and uncles and cousins are going to get together for two weeks and meet at the beach. We have been going to South Carolina for as long as I can remember and I can’t wait to spend another summer at the beach.

    I also have plans to go to camp. I have been going to the same camp for eight years. I have a great time at the camp and have made a lot of really good friends that I can hardly wait to see again. Boy, I will be busy.

    Well, I have to go, I have a lot to get ready for.

Hi Melissa -
You are amazing. So many things going on in your life right now and yet you still manage to get it all done. You are an outstanding advocate and will wow them in Washington with your knowledge of the insurance needs of kids. Have fun. Trisha

Hi Melissa,
I just love reading your blogs and had to let you know before you head off to Washington what an inspiration you are to kids and adults. I had the honor to meet your mom about 4 weeks ago when I joined Children's Specialized Hospital Family Faculty. From reading your blogs and getting to know your mom, you make a great team. Just who we need as the voice for children's healthcare. God bless you both.
