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!

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...

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...

Tech-savvy Thursday- new look!

New Look: Getting Tech-Savvy: Since, I'm getting more involved in blogging, I decided it was time to give my blog a makeover! eMake-overs are always fun, whether you getting a new hair style, or outfit at the mall. However, I've been researching a lot about blogs and social networking. And I thought it may be time to update my blog's look.      I think I like my new one (at the top) a lot better than the old one (pictured on right). What do you think? I wanted my blog to feel more personal and I wanted to make it more tech-savy. I kept the black/purple color scheme. But made the purple the main color instead (and made it a softer purple). I then started looking up how to make my own buttons, widgets, etc. It isn't too hard to find tutorials for anything these days, between google, pinterest, and forums, you can pretty much find instructions for anything. I used a simple code and photobucket to make my own buttons: I think my new Tw...
