Wedding and Wedding.

Tonight's Weddings!


Today/Tonight I had two weddings. My cousin's was first. It was in Peoria and it had a nice break between the wedding and reception. Which was the perfect amount of time for a Starbucks Stop. YUM! Then my family went to my cousin's reception. We then left to drive an hour and 10 minutes to the next wedding. Of course, Ada and Mom drove in  Ada's car from Peoria (Mom stayed in Peoria for 2 days visiting my sister) and I drove Dad to the reception, cuz Mom had their van. It was weird us driving our parents and in seperate cars. But it is nice having one-on-one chat time with Dad.

At my cousin's wedding, there were soooo many family members I wanted to catch up with!I talked a lot(shocker...I know...LOL). However, I tend to lose my voice quite often (1. when I talk too much and don't have enough sleep, and when I start a nebulizer-TOBI). Of course, today I did all 3. I stayed up late last night with some friends, then started the nebulizer today, AND I talked a lot at the reception.


 [Truth Moment: I missed my afternoon and evenings therapies, but sometimes it just happens. I allow it for certain events (very rarely). But tomorrow, I'm doing them ALL! ]

Dad and I get in my car (to leave the first reception) and I tell him "I don't think I'm going to be able to talk the rest of the night, if I want my voice back for work tomorrow." Dad's Response: "YES! (fist pump).  Of course, he had to listen to my music the whole time, since we were in my car :-)

Both Weddings were very fun and beautiful! I was excited to see my sister and give her the little gift I got her when I was on vacation. Plus, I got to wear my dress (it was a present and I hadn't had a chance to wear it yet), I got to talk to relatives I hadn't seen in years, AND I got to dance with cutest guy at the reception,
(note: he is 4 yrs old and calls me "sheesh") I miss babysitting the lil guy.  He was ADORABLE singing Michael Jackson songs! He really got into dancing too!

Great Day, Great Weekend! and hopefully my voice will come back for work tomorrow! Congrats to Jessica and Nick and Allison and Jerad!!!!!

First blog: Hello

My first Blog: A little About Me I'm not sure why I have decided to start a blog, however, here I am.  I have honestly thought about writing about my life for years, but have always chickened out. I have finally decided to share the experiences life has thrown at me. The biggest reason I have been asked to blog by people is because of everything I have dealt with medically. I have Cystic Fibrosis and a few other medical problems...This is probably the best reason why I should blog. I can relate to others who are dealing with medical problems, however,my CF is also why I did not want to write this blog. CF can be embarssing and annoying sometimes... but it  has helped define who I have become to be as a person. Therefore, (yes, even though I want it cured) I don't hate having CF. Let me start off with some basic info and statements. I'm 26 yrs old and have dealt with CF all my life. In this blog you will hear recent stories (good, bad, embarassing); a...

Holding Down the Fort

My husband, Andrew, is currently at Wartburg Theological Seminary and is starting his first week of his second year there. Every year he lives on campus for one week. He enjoys starting each semester on campus where he can build friendships with other students and professors. It's the only time he is on campus. Usually he does long-distance learning, online, from home. It was the only way we could manage him doing a four year Master degree program while working. This week is the hardest for us. However, we have something on Thursday and Friday this week, so Andrew will only be gone 3 days instead of the typical full five. So that will make this week a bit easier than the other semesters. It's hard for Andrew to be away, although I know he is having a blast. We send random pictures back and forth like a book he may be reading or a game I may be playing with our kiddo. It is hard for the kid(s) to not see Andrew every day. We are foster parents and stability is a BIG issue for ...

Close to a Cure?!?!?! and Thank You!!!!!!!!

Help Us Find A Cure & Thank you! Lots of new meds and treatments are being researched thanks to the CF Foundation and the people who support it! Thank you soooo much everyone for supporting me and the CF GreatStrides Walks! I hope you enjoy hearing about the cool new ways steps are being taken towards finding a cure for CF and how everyone has helped me and us (the cf community)! New Treatments And Break Throughs: As you may know, from reading my last couple blogs. Some exciting news was released!  VX-809 + Kayldeco Phase 3 (6 month clinical trials) has started! Which means if all goes well, this could be on the market in the next year or two. This drug helps target the actual faulty gene. It will help improve our lung function (hopefully gain some back, the part that isn't damaged) and will help us to slow the decline of our lungs health tremendously! This is the treatment for my mutations!To read more about this new treatment click Here! Also, there are other medic...
