Hello
Hello. I have been into kilts since I went to the Texas Renaissance Festival last November. With graduation money, I bought my first kilt, a black Utilikilt. As soon as I have the money, I plan to switch full time to kilts.
Last November I was diagnosed with Testicular Cancer. After a minor surgery, three rounds of Chemotheropy and major abdominal surgery on April 2nd, I am now cancer free!!!!
Since I was 17, we applied for Make-A-Wish. I have been granted a wish and have chosen a family trip to Scotland (Unfortunantly there is way to much to do there). It will hopefully be officialy approved in August at their board meeting.
I plan on getting a job while I am in college (Have to stay around San Antonio because of the cancer and all the followup doctor visits). It is literally 5 mintues from my house, so it looks like my parents will have to put up with me for a few more years  I plan on saving most of my money so i can purchase a kilt in Scotland.
Well, I think that is it.
P.S. Y'all (you all) are probably wondering what is in front of my clan chrest. It is a Hoplite Soldier. I also have Spartan Blood in me  Along with Dutch and German.

You've got the best reason in the world to live kilted. Make sure you get a doctor's note for those misunderstanding types.
Congratulations and enjoy school!
