Growing up all little girls play make believe. First they are bride in a pretty white dress that gets to carry pretty flowers and marry a man of their dreams..... As girls grow older the young stars pictured in the teen magazines start to enter their dream... if only I could marry him........Then comes high school the dream of having someone to love becomes more real, it is no longer make believe or a dream it now becomes a mission. There are many school dances, parties hanging out with friends this is the time girls learn it is not always easy to find some one worthy of their love..... As years go on the roller coaster ride continues to become more turbulent the ups the downs the twists the turns, finding some one worthy of your love is anything but easy. However, riding this roller coaster is necessary in order to ensure you find the person that is right for you. Some are fortunate and meet the right person early in life, others have to endure the ride over and over before the reach the ending they are seeking. I was one of those girls who rode the ride more than once, luckily my time on the coaster is coming to an end, as I begin planning the rest of my adult life with a man that I love very much.
My name is Thea, I am 35 years old and I have Cerebral Palsy. I use a wheelchair to get around most of the time, although thanks to the help or some amazing physical therapists I am making huge strides and can now walk further and faster then I ever have before. My fiance is Kevin, he is 30 years old and also has Cerebral Palsy. Kevin uses a power chair and has limited use of his arms and hands. We have been friends since October 2006, began dating in June 2010, and became in engaged on April 14, 2012. Our roller coaster ride has been far from easy. We have overcome many obstacles to get where we are today, and we will have many more to overcome to get to our ultimate destination, the alter.
I have decided to start a blog to share our journey with others. I believe that God is ever present in our lives, He has a plan for me and though I don't always understand the plan if I follow Him I will achieve what I am looking for. Kevin and I like to say that we definitely don't do things the same way others may, but we always figure things out "one way or another"
It' s a very good introduction Thea.
