Birthday Fun!

Birthday Fun!

I've been sooo busy with school and trying to keep up with meds/ stay healthy that I haven't blogged. Sorry at the epic fail on my part.

Sooo my birthday was last Saturday! I had a great day! Andrew and I met my mom and cousin Kazia (she was staying at mom's) for Donuts at my friend Larry's Donut Shop. He didn't have my favorite kind :-( BUT I tried something new and loved it just as much! YUM :-)

Andrew and I hung out most of the day at my house. I did my meds, he played guitar. It was pretty chill. Then we got all dressed up and went out to dinner and to a DeMolay Reunion/ Installation. I got to see a bunch of friends from that youth group I used to be in (hadn't seen some since 2006). It was amazing seeing everyone, hearing how everyone was doing, and I even got to dance.

Note: I love dancing...too much. No birthday would be complete without dancing!

Then Andrew and I went out for food with a couple really good friends and hung out!  It was a great birthday. 28...whoa. Crazy! I have friends turning 30 this year!!!! my 10 yr reunion is this fall! yipes!

Oh, and Andrew got me some pretty cool gifts....here is one of them:   -->

Also I got my hair cut again thanks to part of my mom's gift!!!!

Other than my bday, I've just been practicing for the Musical I'm in (Xanadu) , workin, and going to school. :-) BUT IT'S ALMOST SUMMER!

I'm looking forward to having more time to spend with my family, Andrew and all my friends! Not to mention I won't be crazy busy, so I can save more money, etc! Summer can't come fast enough!

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...

Updates Galore!

Big News, Big Times, Big Change: I had my post hospital Doctor's appointment on April 21st and it went well. I posted a video on my CF facebook page. My weight is back on track, heading up. Also, my lung function was around 55%, so that's almost my baseline. I got to take my needle out that night. OH BOY!! I loved being needle free! Whoohoo no more IVs!!!!! In the last week I have been super busy with a few different things. 1. Work. I have a new client AND I had all my post licensing webinars & exams this last week! 2. More CF Foundation Volunteer work. I held a presentation in my home town, where I discussed CF, the different mutations & severity of classes, as well as fundraising for great strides. I talked about the history of the CF foundation, care centers, and more about our local IL CF fundraisers. Overall, it wasn't a big turn out, so I was a little bummed. My hometown has always supported my CF cause, so it was disappointing not to have a good numb...

Beginning of the Year Troubles

Normal "beginning of the year" troubles for Andrew and I only really consist of one topic: Our Deductible [please no Obama, or government bashing] I've always had high deductibles ALL MY LIFE (no matter who was president). The problem is I hit my deductible within the first week of January. In the past I have always prepared for this and since I was still on my father's insurance (up until last year) he typically paid the bill (at least for medical stuff). And in the future Andrew & I won't have such an issue with this. We will be able to save and plan ahead for the $3,000 (for my deductible, his is another $3,000). However, this year was more difficult. We saved all 2013-2014 for our wedding & honeymoon, plus had our deductible saved too. But Real Estate was a pricey career to start, I've put almost $5,000 into it (classes, dues, licensing, exam, advertising, etc). So needless to say our deductible disappeared, thanks to my new career. Wh...
