White Canes and a Brown-Eyed Boy...


I have spent the last week in Dallas, Texas at the National Federation of the Blind's (NFB) national convention. It was a busy week of meetings, networking and speaking but I learned a whole lot and got to see some long-time friends I don't get to see much.

But...I did get a visitor...
this guys showed up to see me on his 4 day leave before leaving for Kuwait...


...this handsome guy showed up at our convention banquet and experienced his first (an hopefully not his last) NFB experience and 2,500 blind people (trust me guys, you can't imagine).

Did I mention only 37 days until I graduate!?! Those extra letters behind my name better look super pretty! :)
