Can't believe it's JULY!!!

Hello to everyone who's been following my blog!

I know, I know....I'm fired for not having made an entry in about 6 months. But it's for good reason! I was officially diagnosed with Eosiniphilic Gastroenteritis! And yes, there is an exclamation point not because I'm happy with the diagnosis, but because I am finally HEALTHY (so the speak)!!! I never thought I could feel this good again, but thanks to the Mayo Clinic and my primary physician, I have worked myself back up to excellent health. So thanks for being patient and waiting SOOOO long for another entry!

Although I've been focusing on getting myself better, that does not mean I've neglected my commitment to LLS, Heart2Heart, or the American Heart Association. I'm in the process of putting teams together for Light the Night, Be the One Run, and have done multiple presentations for the AHA on Cardiovascular Disease as well as the Go Red campaign. I also entered the Intramural speech tournament at Cal State Northridge (where I attend school), and won 1st place in the Persuasive Speech category....of course my topic was "Becoming a Marrow Donor".

So I welcome everyone back to my blog! Definitely more posts on a consistent basis to follow. Before I sign off, I'd LOVE to wish the best of luck to the California girls as they compete for Miss and Miss Teen International.

hugs to all, Hilary
