Jenaya's here! It's funny - when she was about 50 miles from my house, I realized that I could have potentially invited a 70 year old rapist to my house... Luckily, that wasn't the case! Ha! She's pretty much like I expected and we were able to catch up over dinner and hang out by the lake! Tomorrow I'll take her on a tour of the city and I'm having a few girlfriends over for dinner.
The funny thing is that my cats and her cat aren't quite sure what to do with each other... I have a hissing monster under the bed at the moment!

Jenaya just left! I'm so glad I got to meet her - we had such a good time! We went on a bike tour of my city, went for a walk in the nature conservancy, and had dinner with a few of my good friends last night - it was a blast. If anyone has a chance to meet Jenaya - do it! She's funny, sincere, beautiful, and resilient.

I had such an amazing time meeting these girls! I drove from Washington DC to Des Moines Iowa. My first stop was in the Cleveland area to visit Keri. We stayed in a really awesome hotel near Lake Erie and had some fun girl time. Keri is such a sweetheart! She's such a beautiful girl, impeccably dressed from head to toe. HA! We also had the privilege to meet a girl that used to post on the board a long time ago named Julie. She had dinner with us. The restaurant in the hotel did everything in a gluten free option which was awesome! I had a great time and I really enjoyed my time with Keri.
Then I drove to Madison, WI from Cleveland to see Karen! When we saw each other we almost did the movie slow motion run toward each other but I contained my excitement as much as I could. Karen is such an intelligent, articulate, and kind person. She cooked a few amazing meals and invited some friends over who were also just as wonderful. She showed me around town and we took a nature walk. I had a blast! She's absolutely wonderful in person!
Overall, my trip through the midwest on my way to medical school was such a rewarding experience. It's something I've always wanted to do. I met the girls who have been such wonderful people in my life through this board, on the phone or text. I hope to meet more endo girls in the future! I start medical school on Monday and I'm a nervous wreck. I'm excited and scared at the same time. You girls give me a lot of inspiration to keep pushing on.

Jenaya & I had such a good visit. When we saw each other was like seeing my long lost sister. I had a instant comfy feeling so I knew we would have a great time. I had picked the beach bc of her home in Cali. I wanted to give her some peace before med school. It was the perfect spot. We both love photography so wegot amazing sunsets to photograph. We also did a silly photo shoot with her life size teddy bear her dad gave her when she was sick. Our hotel was gluten free so she got to eat some good food. I need to go back I was only able to try soup. Jenaya got a gluten free beerit looked so good & she was so happy to get to drink a beer. Her smile is contagious so all conversations involved a laugh. The clinic visit was fun yes I said fun. Her and I laughed about that too. I showed her around & she loved it. It is a very impressive place. She even ran into a doctor she knew. I want her to come work there once she is done with school. Cleveland would be lucky to have her. She is highy intelligent & beautiful. I am so glad we met. It was nice to have her advice & friendship right before I went into the hospital. She put things in perspective for me.
I hope I get to meet more girls. Karen you are next!

Keri and I met! Unfortunately, I didn't have a whole lot of time with her, but we were able to chat for about an hour. She's more petite than I expected but just as beautiful and fashionable. She's still recovering from her latest surgery, but has a great attitude and is stronger than most women I know. It was super good to meet her! When we're back in her neck of the woods in the spring/summer, I'll certainly look her up again!
