Time for a Change!

I have been blogging at www.cheriz.org since 2012. So an amazing 5 years! I found my forever career, my husband, my first & forever home! I said good-bye to my Stomach Tube & had some mjor medical transitions!  However, CF affects a lot more than myself now. It affects Andrew, soon we will have kids in the house. To call my blog Cheriz- just doesn't make sense anymore.

Coming up with a new name was super hard! However, my new blog is More Than DNA! (MoreThanDNA.org) Why did I name it that?

Because I am MORE than my CF (or mutated DNA that makes up my CF). My family also will not have shared DNA. Any kids in our house (whether we adopt or foster children or not) will be considered our family & we don't think it matters that they won't have shared DNA.

DNA does not define our family or us as an individual. We are more than our DNA!

I have posted my first blog post at the new site! But I'm working on moving a lot my archives from this blog over. So it will still be changing a lot in the next week! But I wanted everyone to be aware of the change, please follow me over to my new blog at Wordpress " MoreThanDNA.org

Thank you for reading Cheriz.org & supporting me.   I truly appreciate it!!!

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...

SummerTime

 Who Doesn't LOVE the Summer: Summer is very much welcomed in our house! Andrew has more time off in the summer. I'm excited he graduates from college this December! Since the Fall of 2013 he has worked full-time while going to school full-time (35-45 hours at work & 12-15 credits per semester). This fall will be a little easier, he only has 2 classes & his Capstone Paper/project. However, he has been working on that this summer so he's ahead of the game. I've been enjoying spending more time with him this summer. Last night we walked down to the lake and had a picnic dinner. Had to find a shady spot so I didn't get sunburnt, I burn fairly fast from daily antibiotics & fair skin. We got to use one of our wedding shower presents. My mom got us a lawn blanket that zips up, along with the shadowbox, and other items. We love to going to the band concerts & activities in the park. So the lawn blanket will get lots of use. We packed it all up in a pic...
