My Dad Deserves More Than 1 Day!

Happy Fathers' Day to ALL the Fathers out there!

I wanted to post a list to why I'm sooo thankful for my dad (its faster, bit more fun, and I gotta get ready for my Dad's Cookout still)!!!

Top 15 (10 isn't enough..lol) reasons Dad should get more than a day of celebration:

15. He loves meeting people, making friends, and is quite social.
14. When something goes wrong, he is the person that can say the right thing to make me smile :-)
13. Is always honest.
12. Few yrs ago, he gave me HIS car, (so i could get back and forth to work/play practices) He rode his bike to work and back (he enjoys it too tho)
11. Best Sense of Humor!
10. He never complains, ever!
9. Growing up my Dad worked 6am-3pm at one job and 4:30-10pm at another.
8. Dad still managed to go to 99.9% of my performances
7. He is the least judgemental person ever, he talks to & helps everyone!
6. He is a pro at making doctors, insurance companies, & hospitals do what needs to be done!
5. When he has extra days left he can take off work, he uses them to work on the Farm (helping out Grandpa & my Uncle).
4. Even with all the stress from Medical bills, procedures,etc. People will still tell you he is the funniest and most sincere guy. (My friends call him "Da Man")
3. He helps neighbors with cutting trees, picking up after storms, taking out trash cans, etc.
2. When I was growing up, he'd save his Vacation days to spend them in hospital room, sleeping on a cot. :-(
1. I know I can always count on him, He'd do anything for my Mother, my Sister, and I.

Truely,  I am very thankful for my Dad, he is the most respectful, loyal, hard-working person I know!
Love you, Dad!

Today's BIG Appointment

 I discussed last week about my recent struggles & goals. I have been dealing with a lot all at once! Family planning (update on that in 2 weeks), my Grandma's funeral, lower lung function. Through it all I have remained very compliant with my meds! My health is VERY important to me. So this last weekend I took my vest machine, wabi sterilizer system , and packs of ensure to my parent's for the weekend. I wanted to make sure I did everything. While it was a sad occasion, it was still pleasant seeing almost all of the family together again. Actually 27 out of 29 of the cousins made it to the funeral. Grandpa is in the middle of the picture (can you find me?) LOL   On top of my medications I have been doing some dancing & walking, but no jogging or anything. I'm still counting calories on my fitbit (hitting over 3000) a day (& 40 grams of protein, 50 grams of fat at least). I knew I was feeling a bit better than before, but wasn't sure what to expec...

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 ...

Time for a Change!

I have been blogging at www.cheriz.org since 2012. So an amazing 5 years! I found my forever career, my husband, my first & forever home! I said good-bye to my Stomach Tube & had some mjor medical transitions!  However, CF affects a lot more than myself now. It affects Andrew, soon we will have kids in the house. To call my blog Cheriz- just doesn't make sense anymore. Coming up with a new name was super hard! However, my new blog is More Than DNA! ( MoreThanDNA.org ) Why did I name it that? Because I am MORE than my CF (or mutated DNA that makes up my CF). My family also will not have shared DNA. Any kids in our house (whether we adopt or foster children or not) will be considered our family & we don't think it matters that they won't have shared DNA. DNA does not define our family or us as an individual. We are more than our DNA! I have posted my first blog post at the new site! But I'm working on moving a lot my archives from this blog over. So it...
