Prom Probs!!

So I get to go to Prom this year and I'm super super excited!! I got my dress and I'm totally ready! I just have one small problem...I have no clue where to put my pump at :/ I thought about getting some really wide elastic and sewing it so it will fit either around my waist or my thigh. That's my best idea so far.... Anyone have a better one? Let me know! Thanks :)

My Gold Award

So I am working on getting my Gold Award for Girl Scouts and I'm trying to come up with ideas about what to do for it....and I have no clue! I kind of want to do something diabetes related just because it's something that I'm relate-able to and I guess passionate about maybe? I don't know lol. But anyways, my Girl Scout Leader suggested maybe that I could set up like a workshop thing for teachers and other staff at my school to teach them about type 1 diabetes and what to do if something would happen to one of us. I know for a fact that most of my teachers don't know hardly anything about my diabetes. My band teacher kind of knows, but not really. I check my sugar in the band room now before lunch and call down to the nurses office to tell him what I am. Mr. Alfrey randomly asked how my "levels" were and I was like a little high and he had no idea what that even was. So, I am kind of thinking about doing that. i think it would be cool and something worthwhile for me and everyone else with diabetes that may be in my school. If I end up doing this I might do it at all the schools in my school cooperation, at least the elementary schools. I feel that if I'm gonna do it that I need to do it right and I would hate for one of the schools to get neglected.

Do you think that it's a good idea or a bad idea? I feel like I need some input here so I don't do something completely stupid....

Got My Letter Finally!

Ok guys so I got my letter for Children's Congress...sadly I wasn't selected.. But, on the bright side I get to go to the FCCLA National Leadership Conference in Nashville! East Central's Knowledge Bowl Team will not be broken up!!
In the letter I received, it said:
"We understand that you won't be able to apply to future Children's Congresses so keep reading to find out how else you can advocate for the type 1 diabetes community. Just as JDRF is bigger than any one person, it is also bigger than any one event. While we cannot invite you to attend Children's Congress in July, we would be honored if you would consider being a part of JDRF's local advocacy efforts, the 2014 Promise to Remember Me Campaign, which will be launched during the coming summer."

So I would meet with my members of congress in district offices and I'd serve as a role model and spokesperson in my state working towards finding a cure.

I was just wondering if everyone's letter said that or just mine? I haven't yet decided if I will do it or not...what do you think I should do???

Dang it's been a while!!

I haven't posted anything on here since November...sorry about that!! So I am very anxious to find out whether or not I got accepted into the 2013 Children's Congress! I am supposed to find out sometime this month. So if I get accepted, I will get to go to Washington, D.C. over the summer! But if I don't get accepted I will be going to the FCCLA National Conference in Nashville, TN. Which would still be awesome since I went to FCCLA National Cluster Meeting in Indianapolis and my Knowledge Bowl team finished first and moved on to compete in Nashville. That would still be awesome and a but going to DC would completely be a once in a lifetime opportunity so that's why I'm so freakin excited to find out!!

Oh and I am totally making this post from my new 5th generation iPod touch that my lovely parents got me from Christmas!! It's amazing and I love it so much!! Haha and I even got the Glucose Buddy app to log all my numbers! I got the free version and its totally worth checking out if you haven't already! Did anyone out there reading this get something completely amazing for Christmas? Comment and tell me and everyone else if ya wanna!!
