Lauren's make a wish

This past Saturday we went up to Salt Lake to the Make a Wish center for Lauren to declare her wish. It was a wonderful day for her and our family. Since Lauren is not verbal enough they talked to us about the things that she would like to do. They tried asking her questions but she just smiled and said "yes" to whatever they asked. We really thought that she would really love the Disney World Wish. Some of the reasons why we thought she would like this wish is she loves things that go fast (bikes, boats, spinning etc) she really has no fear, also (unfortunately) she spends a lot of her time watching Disney Movie, and the last thing is that she enjoys giving people a "five". So her official wish is to give Mickey a high five.
We had a time for each of us to express our personal wish for Lauren, of course we all want Lauren to get better and live as normal a life as possible, it is so nice that Make a Wish does this to help"heal" such amazing and strong kids! Lauren was smiling the whole time we were there.
