Garage Sale, Packing, Moving

Moving Day is coming up!


On the 17th Andrew and I will be loading the U-Haul and moving to the burbs! We will be closer to work, school, and my doctor! However, farther from our families. Still moving is always exciting, however a pain. During the day I've been trying to pack as much as I can, so we are not up  all night before we move trying to finish packing. I want it to go as easily as possible. Dad's driving the U haul, Andrew and I will be driving our cars, and our friend Jake will be driving up to help as well! I realized though going from 1,000 sq ft apt to 650 ft is quite a challenge, especially considering the loss of closets and the garage!

I think I have most of the stuff sorted and ready. But still so much more. And living arrangements is only one part of moving. Figuring out school and work was quite a task too! I got into an MSW program, however, I'm going to put off going right away. I want to really get going with real estate. Focus on the state exam and get hired as a broker somewhere. I can do this while working at the Family Video I'm transferring to! That way I can learn the ropes as a broker, see if I would prefer working in Real Estate more than social work. Everyone knows how much I love houses and architecture.

I don't want to add anymore student loans to the pile. So I'm going to put it off for now. Andrew will go to school and work. And I will work in real estate and the family video. In a year or two, if I decide I don't want to do real estate full time I can go back to school. There's no rush. Might as well figure out what I want to do. Besides, I can technically defer my enrollment until spring as a back up-  if I decide real estate isn't for me.

But I doubt that will happen. I love houses, real estate, and the flexibility it offers :-)

So for now that's the plan, but who knows, only time will tell! My next blog won't be until after we move! So tah-tah for the next two weeks!

Planning ahead (yay, for being organized).

Organization: it is a great thing! I'm doing another CF Walk in October! It's on the 6th at 9am. Why am I posting this now? In the past I wasn't organized. I would end up asking a couple friends to walk it with me. I didn't fundraise much, but I want that to change! I've had people tell me they would have walked if they knew about it. I'm blogging now, being more active on CF communities online, and there is no reason why I shouldn't invite others to do the walk. Everyone knows I have CF, why did I never invite more people?? No clue. So here I am inviting everyone to come and walk with my team! Here is the link the Facebook Event: Cheriz's CF walk FB event Also a link directly to my GreatStrides Walk page is on the upper lefthand side of the blog! I want to start to be more active in fundraising walks (along with 5ks). I'm planning on doing 2-3 CF walks a yr, and the ALS/PLS Walk every year! If you want to cheer me on at my first 5k i...

End of Summer -Updates!

Wow, I can't believe it's been a year since we moved our blog to www.MoreThanDNA.org! A lot has happened in that year. My husband and I became Foster Parents to some amazing kiddos and still have one of those kiddos living with us. We have loved having "Shoes" with us and can't believe how much he has grown and learned in the year!I'm so proud of him! We have court next week, so prayers that it goes okay (and doesn't get continued again- that just drags it out longer for the kids). He is now 39 months old and starting Pre-K this month! Other big changes include: Some renovation to our home (complete Bath rehab & updated plumbing throughout), I started a new gene-targeting medication (symdeko) that is helping to keep me stable these last 3 months, and I got an AffloVest! I'm loving my new portable vest! Also, career wise...we both switched jobs! Andrew also started Seminary this summer to get a Masters Degree in Divinity. He has always wanted to be ...

Why I Hope this Hospital Stay is Different

Typically, I've been very stable as an adult. I'm very lucky for that stability. However, 2018 started out nowhere near where I wanted. I was admitted mid March for a virus. We aren't sure what virus I had (every test came back negative). However, I had a consistent fever over 102 the entire 5 days I was in the hospital. Once I was fever free for 24 hours and I started eating better, they let me return home. I was excited to leave and get back to my everyday life. But, considering now a month later (and re-admitted), I think I should of just done a two week tune-up last month while I was in already. Live and learn. As you know (I'm sure) I have been trying to get my lung function back up to around 55-60%. 60% is my goal and it really is the highest my lung function can get, due to all the permanent scarring. I started Orkambi in October 2016. At that time it was the newest gene-modifier drug on market for CF patients (with my mutations).  After going on Orkambi I droppe...
