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!!!!!

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...

Calling All Who Care!

     Please Read : Okay, so first off I want to say that this post is tough. It's tough to think about and write. However, it is extremely important and a huge topic in the CF Community, and is VERY NEAR AND DEAR to MY HEART!  First I want to ask you... What if I told you I needed a Transplant. That I needed to reach a certain weight, get my kindeys functioning better, get a higher pain tolerance, and get off a couple medications I take right now. What if I said I couldn't receive a 2nd chance at life unless I reached these goals and I raised a certain amount of money that seems impossible to raise. What if I had been in and out of the hospital off and on for the last year, with many surgeries, had multiple infections and my lung function dropped from 40s to the teens and now is slowly dropping still. What if I was starting to wonder if my decision to go through the grueling Transplant tests was worth it. What if I start to get down about my cf and wondering why ev...

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 ...
