Graduation Update!

Happy 2015! Every time I promise to update more, life gets in the way! However, I have great news to report going into 2015.

Adam graduated with honors on 12-13-14 with his Bachelor's in Sociology! I can't explain how very proud I am of Adam for his amazing accomplishment. When he enrolled in school 4 years ago, we had so many obstacles to overcome, and questions to answer. How would he get to school every day? How would he handle the course load? How would he take notes? What happened if he had a seizure on campus? Throughout his four years, we revisited those topics more than once-and persevered through everything that came our way.

Now that Adam  has graduated, he is actively job-searching for a position in social services and/or nonprofits. He has a passion for helping people, sharing his story and aiding his community. He has filled his days with volunteerism with the United Way and The Senior Center, and this Christmas he worked with The Angel Tree program. Adam feels that giving back to his community is a great way to share his talents, and I agree! He's definitely keeping busy!

One more big announcement: Adam is going into 2015 SEIZURE-FREE! He hasn't experienced a seizure since sometime in December (with all of the excitement of graduation, we haven't kept track!) We credit this drop in seizure activity to less stress since school is over, more sleep, less carbs (we have been cutting sugar & the majority of carbohydrates from our diets), and finally getting his medication dosages right.

2015 is going to be a big year for us, but especially Adam! We look forward to all of the opportunities that are coming his way. It's hard to believe that we have been together nearly six years and married for 18 months!

Adam is a prime example of the amazing things you can do when you push yourself to follow your dreams and live your life, regardless of disability or the obstacles that crowd your way. Stay tuned...it's going to be a fun year!
