Wes and I packed up and headed to Madison Wisconsin to the US Transplant Olympics. It was such a cool experience and I'll admit it I bawled just about everyday we were there:) We were able to meet such great people who have gone through so much. Wes was able to catch up with some old friends and meet new ones while competing. Wes took the gold in table tennis, the silver in tennis, bronze in 3 on 3 basketball, and their volleyball team took 4th overall. I'm so grateful to have Wes in my life and a huge part of the reason I was able to find him was because of his heart transplant. I love you and am so excited to be yours forever!!!

Downtown was so fun, we were able to find a wing place for Wes after all his hard work throughout the week
I can't wait for the next transplant games:) It is amazing to see how many people are able to recieve second chances because of such a selfless act. What extraordinary lives are led with the help of transplants, I am so grateful to have been a part of such an amazing week and hope that when presented with a chance, donation will come to mind to help give others a chance to live.
This looks like so much fun Ally. I'm glad you two enjoyed it. We miss you out here!
