Caught in the Rain!

Storms/Rain fun fact: When I was little I used to run around the house during storms singing "thunder, thunder, thunder CATS!"

Front and Back veiw

If I'm not going somewhere nice (where I have to look professional) I am okay with being outside and it starting to downpour. I acutally love storms! I'm usually the person standing outside taking pictures when a warning is being issued. My uncle is a storm chaser and I have ALWAYS wanted to go with, however he lives 40 mins away...

So storms don't usually bother me and tonight I am thankful for the storm we are having tonight BECAUSE...

while out on my nightly jog with my friend Sarah, we got caught in the rain, so we started jogging (we were 1 mile away from her house, literally half way...)

Nothing shaves 10 mins off your jogging time like the rain and spotting lightning in the distance... HAHAHA!

I now know that I can push myself a lot harder than I have been, we just proved it. 10 minutes faster, gosh.

Now to find a large, unleashed, mean looking dog to chase us...

How Fostering and CF impact my work

I haven't been on my blog much.... I think that is because most of my blogging is currently been done on Health Union's Cystic-Fibrosis.com (here is link to all my posts on their site: https://cystic-fibrosis.com/members/cherizkunkel/ ). I decided last fall to step away from real estate after 3 years in the business. It was tough to say good-bye, especially since I had tripled my volume and business in the last year. However, I didn't have time to add any new clients; I kept saying, maybe next week, next month I can fit more work into my schedule. The truth is fostering takes a lot of time. We have between 5-8 monthly visits at the agency, 1 court ate a month, 2 home visits from the caseworker a month, plus e have 2-3 doctors/specialist appointments for our current kiddo. We have lots of paperwork we fill out, gas mile logs, receipts to add, and more! Our kiddo also participates in gymnastics and dance two nights a week. We go to a fosterparent support group with our kid ...

Oh the Joys of a Colonoscopy!

Colonoscopy, Fun: As you may remember from reading my October Posts ( Oct Post #1 & 2nd Oct Post ) that I was admitted a second time that month for Gastrointestinal issues. I was having stomach cramps and what was believed to be Antibiotic Associated Diarrhea. However, CT scan revealed my colon and intestines were inflammed. After having a rough 2 months of GI issues, and cuting out most food (diary, meat, grease, carbonated beverages, and sugar). I finally am getting a Colonoscopy to see what in the world is going on! I'm been taking Probiotics, was on meds for both C. diff and AAD. I even added driking Kefir to add to the probiotics and good bacteria. Only now am I seeing any changes, less stomach aches, etc. I add a 1/2 cup pf the Kefir to my smoothie, its not bad -yum! I really reccommend it and Probiotics (so talk to your doctor about it), it could really help you out! Read about Colonoscopies here! So I'm glad to be g...

What Else Should I Do?

Need Some Feedback. May has almost come to an end. I love May, nice weather, summer starts, AND its Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month! A lot of the CF walks are in may and its a great time to raise funds and awareness for CF! However, I'm also excited that it will be June soon! June 28th is the Princeton Cystic Fibrosis Walk. I've helped organize other events in the past. Whether for school or other non-profits I've volunteered at, but this CF Walk is a little different. It is the first time, I've put together a City event. Or put together an event that is so near and dear to my heart. I'm so thankful that I had so many people sign up so quickly. Pretty much everyone family member I have on my mom's side signed up the first day. And I've have had some family and friends help me (giving me ideas, helping me recruit, etc). But, Its the first time I didn't have a committee or team behind me to help execute the ideas and actually plan the event. I lo...
