It is to rainy to do anything outside and to cold to do anything inside, so I guess my only option is to wrap myself in a blanket, lay on the couch and read a book while drinking my weight in green tea. Sounds ok to me:)
Mom always knows best
One of my favorite things that my mother taught me is something she didn’t even know she was teaching me, it’s something so simple, something she did everyday without fail.
Everyday my Dad would get home from work around 4:30. And everyday at 4:00 my mom would break away from what she was doing, whether she was in the middle of doing school with us, or making dinner. She would sneak...

Right now I am laying on the sofa with the sun light on my face, watching the clouds run by and wave. listening to the tick-tock of the clock. I have green tea in my cup and a book in my hands. I don’t think I will leave this spot for a while. I can vacuum later. The dishes will still be in the sink and the clothes will still be all over the floor. But the perfect sunlight and the soft...

Liver and onions
Last week I had an ultrasound done of my liver and other organs. (Clarification for those who need it, it was of my LIVER not of my womb, and I am NOT pregnant haha)
Since I am on so many intense antibiotics, they wanted to make sure it was functioning ok. I have had this done before, and as anyone who has had any kind of ultrasound it is somewhat exciting to think you will be able see your...
Geez I never update this thing. I always tell myself I will get better at it, but I never do. Or I think of clever little things to post…but I never do. I have noticed I am becoming more and more open with those around me, and closing my soul off more and more from the world wide web, which probably is a good thing.
I was recently in the hospital again, and I recently got out. Just in for...

It's gonna be a good day
Today is going to be a good day, a great day. Not only is it the closing of a fabulous year, but it is also the day that one of my very best friends comes to stay the night. Brian and Lea Doster are bringing in the new year Joens style! I’m excited for them to come, we are going to do all the things done at a sleepover while the boys smoke pipe and play video games we are going...

Yep. It’s my birthday. My 26th year of living on this earth. I would write a symbolic birthday post but the fact is I have to work in just a few minutes. I have my black clothes on and I’m ready to go sell some perfume! Although black is not much of a birthday outfit…maybe I will just have to go buy a birthday outfit after work. Yes that sounds good.
So for now happy birthday...
the woods. the friends. the fun.
This last weekend was one of the greatest weekends ever to be had. We got to go to our families beautiful cabin in Arnold to celebrate my birthday with 20 of our greatest friends. We had so much fun. We explored the woods, shot a bow and arrow (well the boys did) made smores by the camp fire. Watched hook. Laughed til we cried. Ate and drank lots of yummy food and drinks. And just enjoyed the...

Around the world
I have always loved globes…who hasn’t right. They are beautiful and fascinating, they are exciting and intimidating. They are full of so much mystery, so many secrets, and so much time. There are millions and millions of worlds within that circle, and we are only one of them.
I have been on the search for a globe for awhile now, one that is unique and has something special about it....

Im not so good at this blog thing anymore. I wish I was better, but Im just not. To tell you the truth I just dont have anything interesting to say, I have no inspiring thoughts or intelligent words. My mind has been in a weird place lately, I cant seem to connect my mind to my heart, and my thoughts to my mouth. I feel far away and distant, but cant seem to move from my spot.
I’m sure its...

"lets go home noah"
Only two people will know what the title of my post is from. And it makes me laugh inside…and I think it will make them laugh too…or at least chuckle.
Anyways, tomorrow is my lucky day. I will be going home. :) I am feeling much better. I will be doing 1-2 weeks of home IV’s to finish out this round of meds. I have done home IV’s many times, its a piece of cake…just...

Ok so here is a more official update.
I have gotten some of my labs, xrays and culture results back. Labs and xrays look fine. Lungs are still full of mucus and infection but there is no pneumonia so that is good. They cultured for the MAC bacteria again…the one they found last time in december. I have been treating it with intense antibiotics for four months now. They said within 60 days...

9 minute lull
Ever heard the term “the 9 minute lull” ? they say in almost all conversations there is a 9 minute lull. You are having a great convo between maybe you and one other person, or you and 10 other persons, and then all of a sudden it seems you all have run out of things to say and there is a lull…a hush…a silence. And then before you know it someone breaks the lull and it...

good book.
I love reading. I love books. I love reading good books. This week I finished a really good book. And this is it…
The poisonwood bible is a fictional novel that takes place in the congo. It is about the family of a baptist preacher who all go to the congo for missionary work, and how that changes and destroys most of their lives.
I love reading stories from and about Africa. I prefer...

Mr & Mrs
Five years ago today I became a Mrs, which is still weird to me because most people still think Im in high school, haha.
Five years ago today was the most amazing day ever to be had on this earth. My hair was long and blond, I had butterflies in my stomach, my closest friends and family were at my side, and my dress and gold shoes made me feel like I truly was in a fairy tale. And my groom, oh...

I have not listed all my items yet, because I like to add one or two items everyday, that way it shows up on the etsy home page and that will lead to more...

Last weekend my lovely friend Amanda Musso came and was gracious enough to let us use her beautiful face and model like figure to model some of the...

Still fighting
Last week I went to the Doctors, and I got some good news and some bad news.
When I was 17 the doctors discovered that I had a bacteria called MAC. This is an unusual for CF lungs, and a little dangerous because it slowly destroys your lungs in a way no other bacteria does. It is a very slow growing bacteria and sometimes very hard to find, it is related to tuberculoses, but is not contagious to...
Just like old times
I am laying in my old room at my parents house. I am sleeping on my old bed. And tonight i had to say goodnight to Casey on the phone…just like we used to do when we were dating haha. I am here visiting family and friends for a few days, and Casey is in sf working hard just for me.
It is nice being here, but also sometimes weird, or maybe just different. My room is somewhat the...
.....
It has been all to long since my last post. And I really have nothing to say at this moment of time. Only that I am happy. I am content. Maybe a little bored, and maybe a lot hungry. I am excited for this new chapter in our lives, and I am grateful to live in such an amazing house for a few months. I miss my friends in stockton and modesto very much. I miss my best friend in London way to much....

pretty as a princess
I have always loved dresses, but really never wore them enough. I dont know why, maybe because I am so short and skinny that I feel like a twig in them. My husband loves them, and always wants me to wear them. I mean why wouldnt guys like girls in dresses, they so pretty and feminine, and you just feel and act more like a lady when you wear one. This weekend the sun was out..despite the weather...
