Today is the seven-year anniversary of my accident. I went to church this morning and they aired My Faith video that I made. It's very ironic that it just happens to be November 1; they didn't plan that on purpose. The pastor saved my video for last, and after showing it he read the first part of the about me section that I have on blog. It was very good and I think I made an impact on a lot of people. After the service, many people came up to me and said thank you for sharing my story. I posted the video below. I say basically everything in the video that I probably would have written in the post today talking about the anniversary of my accident.

Hi Jenni!
You might not remember me but I was your student nurse in the PICU. I started taking care of you 4 days after the accident. I have never forgotten the brave girl that forever will be in my heart. It was a life changing experience for me in my nursing career and my personnel life. I spent alot of time with you for those weeks and you were an inspiration. I came and saw you in rehab and it was amazing how much you had blossomed. I remember tearing up leaving that day thinking what an amazing girl. Now I follow you on your blog (first caringbridge) and think what amazing women you are!Your video today was touching and as a Christian made me feel proud that we have Him to be in all of our lives. I thank God that He put you in my life.
Keep up the good work. You inspire many.

Jenni, this moved me so much! To tears, of course---cuz I'm a crybaby but I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't cry. You are amazing in every way, shape and form. Thank you for being a part of my life and for being you.
Love, Steph

I am so honored to be your friend. We not only connect as young women who live with great physical challenges, but we have the same God. I know that you are inspiring others because you do that for me. I am so impressed by your beautiful spirit and the life that you have allowed God to create for you. It is beautiful, just like you.
love, karly
