Meeting Comedian Josh Blue — My Cerbral Palsy Icon

I got to meet my CP icon, the absolutley hysterical @joshbluecomedy during cerebral palsy awareness month! Josh put on a brilliant show tonight and I could not be happier that I got to see him live.

Slide 4: sacred heart community theater
Slide 5: my handsome boyfriend and I, who has been so incredibly supportive of me and my CP, always
