In two weeks, I'm getting married. Michelle and I are going to Toronto, Canada and joining our lives in marriage. I could have never imagined one year ago, that I would even vaguely know happiness---and never could have forseen falling deeply in love and wanting to share the rest of my life with anyone. Michelle is not just anyone; she is my partner in this life....3 Recommendations14 Comments -
I think we can all agree tonight is a historic night. Regardless of how you feel about Obama I hope we are all inspired by the amazing turnout and the emotional investment in this election we have never seen before.

I know that I understand, how little they really know.
And that look of pity on their face, will always show.
They can't look past and get to know, the person deep inside.

I know my legs may be useless, I may travel b...4 Recommendations11 Comments
