My Weekend Out...
So I should be in bed... but I can't sleep. That's what I get for taking a nap at around 3 o'clock today. In the mean time, I'll write about my awesome weekend!
So yesterday, two of my WONDERFUL friends got married!
That's Mr. & Mrs. Dan Spadora right there!
So now you may be thinking, "Gee Nick... you don't have your 200 T-Cells, how did you attend a wedding?"
Well, I asked the doctors and they gave me the OK! They understand that they can't keep me in a bubble forever and that it wouldn't be fair to keep me away from an occasion such as this.
It was a beautiful ceremony, and one rockin' reception with great food and great friends! We had quite the Marist contingency and we partied well into the night.
On a more personal note, it felt so good to just be "normal" again. To re-enter the real world... even if it was just a quick furlough. Now originally, I thought the experience would feel like a tease. Only giving me a small glimpse of what life will be like once I'm back to 100%.
However, it had quite the opposite effect. It really gave me renewed strength. It produced the same thought with a totally different meaning. This IS what awaits me... I'm so close and nothing can stop me now!
Look out world, here I come!!

Nick! What a blessing of a day for you! I'm very happy for you! God is good. My family was sooo happy to see you at the wedding, told me how great you look and what a great time you were having! What a blessing it was for all of us that you were there, as well! Can't tell you how happy I am for you Nick, and as usual, will keep you in my prayers :)
Love, Mrs. B
Nick - Glad to see you got out and had a good time! Even happier to see that you used "quotes" surrounding you being back to "normal" :) When you hit the 200 mark, let's have a White Castle eating contest again - my treat! -James
