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...

Video Blog: Life in the hospital (as a child)

The daily life in the hospital! Most people cringe at the idea of a hospital. However, when I was little I never minded going into the hospital. I usually would have at least one other friend with Cystic Fibrosis to hang out with there (before we knew about the "CF Bugs"). I didn't love being sick, but I loved my CF friends that I would hang out with. Also the hospital, nurses, and my parent's tried to make it a "normal" environment. I got up and put on cute clothes, "walked to school", flirted with a couple CF boys, did homework, came "home" (back to my room), my friends would ask my parent if I could go play with them. We'd hang out in the play room or go on a walk with one of my parents! My dad loved taking me on walks and I LOVED going on our walks! Here is a video blog of the route we took and bit of information on what is was like growing up (for a chunks at a time) in the hospital! (it is posted via youtube, let is dow...

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...
