The Holidays are coming up!

The Holidays are sneaking up!

My sister called me tonight and discussed Thanksgiving weekend, and yipes, it came fast!

But, I'm very ready for it to be Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is my favorite Holiday! I have lots in my life I am thankful for, I'm very lucky. Lucky that I have such amazing family and friends :-) Plus, I get to spend Thanksgiving with my family every year! I love it! I'm not sure what all we are doing this year. But, in past year we have had Bingo, board games (with prizes to choose from if you win), plus we did a "turkey egg" hunt (with easter eggs) in the yard! We just always make it fun! Not to mention everyone in my family can cook, so we have an amazing buffet of food! It is amazing! I just eat and eat all day long! I hope Uncle Pat makes deviled eggs!

Then later that evening we look at Black Friday Ads and plan out the next day. We spend all of Black Friday together too, shopping for the deals. I ususally bounce around from my Aunts' cars to my mom's etc. And everyone goes for Brunch.

However, right after Thanksgiving, Christmas seems to sneak up really fast!

Christmas Eve, my mom, dad, sister, and I usually do dinner and presents together and will go to Mass. Then Christmas Day we go to Grandpa and Grandma Kunkel's for lunch. A couple years ago my family started going to see movies on Christmas too, The first one was Sherlock Holmes, since Mom, Dad, Ada and I are all big movie phanatics! Not sure what my family's plan is this year, but we are all pretty laid back and go-with-the-flow. So I'm not worried about it.

I've started addressing my Christmas Cards and putting Stamps on the envelopes, and I have made my Christmas list of everything I need to buy everyone! I do a lot of my Christmas Shopping for friends on Black Friday to save some money. I love buying gifts. I already got some bought and hidden :-)

And I'm excited because I didn't have a Christmas tree last year. I wasn't sure if my landlady would let me have a real one, so I bought a fake one on clearance last year after Christmas. So I have a tree this year! I bought some ornaments too, but I still want to make some. (I will post pictures when they are done).

I'm going to be ready for the holidays this year, no sneaking up on me this time!

Black Plague ( known as Cepacia B)

Black Plague I had a long car drive home to think, so this is long, but heartfelt. Tonight I went to a meeting for a non-profit I help with and while discussing somebody's anger issues. I decided to share a part of my past with the board that was there. I still am in shock I did so, considering very, VERY, few people know this. But I'm not ashamed and feel like others have been in my place. Naturally, the next step, is to share it on a blog, where everyone has access to it. (heh.) When I was little around middle school age I had some anger issues. I used to get angry over nothing and scream and once in a while even push my mom ( luckily I was tiny and not very strong). She would just hug me and tell me she loved me, she never got angry back.  She knew I was angry because quite a few of my friends with Cystic Fibrosis were passing away, from Cepacia B and other infections that were spreading ( apparently at the parties, camps, and apts) around. About a yea...

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...

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 ...
