Words to live by---

These 3 things remain true to the "Journey of Autism". Anyone or everyone can advise you;

ULTIMATELY you MUST go with what you feel is right. "GO WITH YOUR GUT."

Once you have arrived at this decision; "NEVER GIVE UP"!

Hail Hail the "Gangs all here!"

Well Dakotas Birthday came off without a hitch--I think it was the stuff leading up to it that was the most daunting of tasks. Here's most of us hungry and waiting to be seated-- Oh yeah and I had to wait for the card with the 15% discount ha ha-- You know every little bit helps! We had a great time and such a great mix of people. Although we are all in our own worlds for the most part-- It was rewarding to see people whom I hope will be a support for Dakota thru his lifetime.  We spent quite a bit of time at dinner which ended with a "pile of cupcakes" and a candle from the staff:

Then we were on our way to the suite to finish off the evening with the grandest cake yet!
I believe a great time was had by all!
"Star Tours Relauched" was the theme and "Darth"was the{dark}Star--ha ha
We spent several days at the hotel and Dakota had a few kids overnight on his birthday and the next day it was an all out assault of Disneyland and California Adventure.By Midnight everyone was ready to chillax for the day!
Now I am broke for the next year but filled with happy memories and the knowledge that Dakota had the best birthday ever! I always tell him that "things" can go away or destroyed but the memories you have in your mind can never be taken from you .I hope he will always remember that I did everything I could to give him the memories that will last a life time. The only thing that matters is that he is happy and content!

Birthday Celebration--

Soon we will be off to celebrate Dakotas birthday and I am about to go nuts!The passed 3 days have been crazy-- trying to line up logisitcs and make sure he has a great time--

I have been trying to get a few of the people who he knows to attend a dinner and a couple of them are "transportartion challenged" so YEP  I am taking charge to get them there--
Its for Dakota   Its the one day of the year that he actually expresses the want or need to have certain people around him. Soooooooooooooooooooo its my job to make sure that happens. 

I will post more when we get back!
Its nice to post something positive for a change!
