I won the Lottery...

the Parent Lottery!!!!

Day 4 of the Blog Challenge

MY PARENTS

So yes it's true when I was born I won the parent lottery! I am so very blessed to have the most Awesome, Incredible, Strong, Marvelous, Caring, Perfek, Phenomenal, Spectacular, Truly Amazing, Unbelievably wonderful parents. There are so many other words that come to mind but I think you guys get the picture. My Parents are my world, I love them with all my heart!!

I appreciate EVERYTHING they do for me! They are ALWAYS there for me. For instance; just one example that comes to mind is how they make time in the joint bearable, they always make sure I am never alone. My mom takes the day shifts and my Dad takes the night shifts. When I was little they would take turns spending the night. I can barely sleep in there so I know they couldn't of slept a wink. I am so very grateful for the time we spend together there, even if we are doing our own thing at times just knowing they are there is so comforting.

Basically, if its helping me kill a spider, or spraying a hornet nest, (remember my 2 worst fears bees and spiders) or picking me up or dropping me off, touching door handles, pushing the shopping cart, helping me flush my port, changing air filters, emptying the vacuum, spraying my paintings, daily phone calls, basically dropping everything at the drop of a hat if I need them to. I could go on and on the list is endless. I can ALWAYS count on them, I hope they know they can ALWAYS count on me too.

Mom, Dad~
I love you guys SO VERY MUCH!!! I am so blessed to have you as parents. I thank God everyday for both of you. I love you both infinity!!!! Mom~ XOXOXOXOX and Dad~ 8+8!! Thanks for being the best parents EVER!

love ALWAYS your lil girl

1derful indeed!

Another great bday!!!! The 31derful was definitely 1derful!

I woke up at 6am it was very early but I wanted to enjoy the whole day... the babies definitely take after me they are not early risers this is them at 6 am not very happy. I got home from coffee around 11 and they were just getting up. I just love them!

I met some friends for coffee at 9 and when I came home I found mylar balloons all over my house and yard. It was a very fun surprise from my Dad. I only got a couple shots but you get the idea.

Always at 3 on my bday my parents and I go to coffee... I started this tradition about 6 or 7 years ago. We always have a great time.

Makena made me a special bracelet... with my name on it and an assortment of colored beads. I made her one too its are BFF bracelets. I wear it daily along with these other ones that I never take off. The first one says "Love the Life you Live" The second one says "nothing is worth more than this day" then the third one is my cross I got for my bday last year from some friends and the fourth one is my BCF bracelet with Shar, which by the way she gave me quite the tribute on her blog, read that post here. Shar I was truly honored to read this, you are an AMAZING BCF! The Fifth one says Health and then the sixth one is the masterpiece that Makena made.

These were the balloons from the outside of my house

These were the balloons on top of my cake that my mom got me it was a princess Nothing Bundt Cake they are so yummy my favorite is the red velvet which is what my mom got me. YUMMM!! I didn't get any pics of it so I will have to wait to see if anyone else did.

Flowers from Josh & Cath were on my door step when I got home from coffee with my parents.

After coffee with my parents I went to din later on with the fam at one of my favorite places the Porcupine. It was so much fun to just be surrounded by so much love. I am honestly blessed beyond measure. I have the best family and friends in the world! Thank you to everyone who made my bday SO VERY special! I will have to share more highlights as I download the pics.

I can't believe today is June 1st so crazy!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday Mom!!!! I hope you have the most AMAZING day!

My cute friend Sarah wrote this poem... I thought it was perfect... I had to "somerize" it a lil tho.

I don’t know where to start this, So I guess I’ll use the start

The part where you had a sick baby, I know it broke your heart

All the medications, You had to make me take

The clapping and the enzymes, The strength you sometimes faked

Through my teenage years, I know I was a pain

Thank you for putting up with me, Though driving you insane

Every time you’d hear me cough, I know it would stop your heart

When I’d get an infection, It must have torn you apart…

Thank you for teaching me, That CF was not an excuse

And making me take my pills, When I tried to refuse

You are my CF momma, No words can explain

The strength you possess inside, That gets you through the pain…

To teach me to love others, As much as I love myself

And sometimes you taught me, To put my pride up on the shelf

I know sometimes you blame yourself,

For that gosh darned faulty gene

I want to know that I wouldn’t, Change it for anything

That gene made me who I am today

A strong amazing girl

I wouldn’t change one thing

About my CF world

I have met terrific people, I help doing an amazing thing

All because of that one, Gosh darned faulty gene!!!

Mom Thank you SO much for always being there for me I love you and am so blessed to have you in my life. I thank God for giving me you and Dad everyday!!! I am the luckiest girl I know!

Xo infinity!!!!

Happy St Pattys Day!!!

The Blarney Castle is near Cork Ireland, I went there with my family when I was 13. I climbed to the very top and kissed the stone upside down. I now have the gift of gab or eloquence whatever you prefer. Here are some of my pics from that trip.

For over 200 years, world statesmen, literary giants, and legends of the silver screen have joined the millions of pilgrims climbing the steps to kiss the Blarney Stone and gain the gift of eloquence. Its powers are unquestioned but its story still creates debate.

Me kissing the stone (gotta love my outfit, obviously I had no germ issues when I was lil)

If I had the chance to kiss it today there is no way!!! Supposedly the locals pee on it at night and not to mention think how many lips have been on that. YUCK!!! I can guarantee they don't sanitize it. 

My family had the chance to go back to Ireland for St. Patty's Day 2002. It was right after we had the Olympics in Utah and my Dad went around and collected 12 green Olympic Jackets off the volunteers bodies so that we could all wear them on our trip. There was 12 of us all in the same coat they thought we were a pretty big deal over there :) Below are pics from that trip...

Me on the Big day in a lil cafe by our hotel

My Bro Shane at the Guinness factory! 

Im on a double decker bus getting a tour of Dublin
I loved the all the front doors in Ireland 

Well I told you a lil about my St Patty's day 2007... I had planned this HUGE trip to Ireland with my friend and my Dad was telling everyone about the great deal we found and more and more people wanted to go. So about 20 of my family and friends were all set to go. Well the weekend before the big trip I got really sick. I tried to manage it with oral abx but it was a horrible strain of the flu and it kicked my butt. I ordered O2 for the plane because I was getting so nervous and knew I felt so bad but after 3 days on Abx I wasn't getting any better. So the day we were suppose to leave my family and friends left for the airport and My mom took me up to "My Ireland". I was SO bummed and I told my mom I didn't want any decorations knowing the theme would be St Pattys Day. Well she had already had bags of decorations ready to go knowing that I was gong to end up there and not on that plane. So she decorated and there was green everywhere. My fam called me or should I say DD'd me often, they had a great time. I wish I could of gone, but I was so sick I am glad I made the decision I did. So plans were in the works for something great for St Pattys Day 2008 but I ended up in "My Ireland" again. I am so glad this year to be out of the joint :) on my second favorite holiday! 

Here is some of the group that went in 2007. This pic was in their hotel lobby.

Here is me in "My Ireland" love my Shamrock glasses

This was Oscs first St Pattys Day. I use to buy him shirts for all the holidays he really hated it!

Everyone Loves an Irish girl!

HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY EVERYONE!!!!! 

Don't forget to wear your green! Xo
