Jen's New Address

Hey guys...it's Jen! I have recruited a new secretary until Ryan returns...her name is...Mom! :) I have had a great week. On Tuesday I was told I will be moving to rehab next Tuesday. I am very excited as this is the next step in my journey! We have even been guaranteed a two room suite with a beautiful view of downtown Dallas. So, there will be lots of more space when you come to visit. Another exciting bit of news was my personal visit from Dr. Beck Weathers. For those who aren't familiar with him, he was left for dead and lost both his nose and hands as a result of a terrible accident while climbing Mount Everest. There was a television story as well as a book written about his experiences, and...he was kind enough to share some inspiration and strength with me. Nick, Marie, Judy and Mom happened to be in the room and we were all mesmerized with his story. I have been outside several times this week and am sitting up more and more each day.

Thanks to Jill and Shannon for a wonderful weekend! I can't wait to see you both again soon. I will post again this weekend. Love, Jennifer.

P.S. Cecile, did you get the opportunity to grace the Bahamas with your presence? :) Hope you didn't get stuck...see you soon.

From Liz

Hi Jen. This is Liz Stevenson, Brandon Hoskin’s girlfriend! Brandon emailed me the link to your blog and I wanted to say hi. I have been reading all the blogs to stay updated and I have been blown away. You have shown strength, courage and faith at a time in your life that only special people can show. I have heard so much about you from Brandon and Ryan and I was thrilled to have met you on your wedding day. You looked absolutely beautiful! As I sat there and watched you walk down the hill to your wonderful husband I sat there and thanked God for blessing you with so much. Just by reading Nick’s blogs to you I know that you are one lucky woman! I thank God for placing Brandon in my life because without him I would have never met Ryan, Matt and your wonderful parents and then you! You and your family are in my prayers and I want to encourage you to continue to be strong because you have touched me in a way that I cannot explain.

Hugs,

Liz
