Breathe Easy Robyn!!

One of my Cf Cyster's got her wings
 yesterday! Please keep her family
 in your prayers as they 
deal with her sudden loss! 
Pray for her sweet Lil Lola 
and that she will grow up knowing 
how much her mommy loved her.

BREATHE EASY ROBYN! 
God saw you getting tired, 
And a cure was not to be. 
So he put his arms around you, 
And whispered “Come to me”.  

With tearful eyes we watched you, 
And saw you pass away. 
Although we loved you dearly, 
We could not make you stay.  

A golden heart stopped beating, 
Hard working hands to rest. 
God broke our hearts to prove to us, 
He only takes the best.

Happy 1/2 Bday to me!!

WOW!!! 
6 months and I will be the BIG 3 0!!!

I had the best 1/2 bday a girl could have. I celebrated a couple of days ago with some great friends that got me 1/2 a cake. Then on my 1/2 Bday Nov 25th I went to lunch with my rents and we went to The Porcupine for some apricot, my favorite. I got 1/2 a $50 dollar bill and my dad says I get the other half in May, I also got 1/2 a card and 1/2 a candle. You are probably thinking who celebrates their 1/2 bday but this year is a big milestone so I figured I could celebrate 6 months and on til the big day, May 25th. I can't believe I will be 30 I am so excited!! I love that all my fam and friends are willing too. But Bdays mean a ton to me and I always find a way to make them a HUGE deal! Like my BIRTHDAY-BIRTHDAY when I turned 25 on the 25th some of you may refer to it as your golden birthday ;) Well that year I was thrown a Giant surprise party and I had Disneyland fireworks where you have to push a button to detonate them. For the BIG 3 0 I am hoping to get Madge to participate we will see....

After lunch my mom and I went to the mall so I could find the Pugs not drugs Tee Lise... but I had no luck :( Then I went for sushi with some fabulous friends and Jen was celebrating her real Bday we are 6 months apart. After sushi we hit up the town. I had so much fun PP4 EVA!!! Here are some pics from my fabulous day...

A note from Lissa

Hello, I would like to take a minute this week to say thank you for your support of Cystic Fibrosis. Since August my necklaces have raised over $600 for Love to Breathe, and at a recent silent auction they raised $600 more!  This never would have happened without the tireless efforts of my friends like Somer and Peg who spread the word on blogs, doctor appointments, the grocery store, the list goes on.  And also to all of you who have purchased a necklace or two (or several- Lisa I'm looking at you!) on etsy- a big thank you.   The holidays are upon us, and I am so excited this year (mostly because my daughter is finally old enough to notice lights, decorations, and presents.)  Remember- Love to Breathe necklaces would make lovely gifts. To make your gift giving a little easier I'm having a sale!  I have dropped the price to $30 with free shipping.  The donation to Love to Breathe remains $10, so your warm fuzzies from helping fund CF research will be just as great. Each necklace will come gift wrapped, with a cute tag which explains a bit about CF and Love to Breathe. Tell your friends, or just surprise them with a necklace of their own :) Thanks again, 

Oscar & Lilly to a T


If you can start the day without caffeine,

If you can get going without pep pills,

If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains, 

If you can resist complaining and  boring people with your troubles, 

If you can eat the same food every  day and be grateful for it, 

If you can understand when your loved  ones are too busy to give you any time, 

If you can take criticism and  blame without resentment,

If you can resist treating a rich friend  better than a poor friend, 

If you can conquer tension  without medical help,

If you can relax without liquor,  

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs, 

................. Then you're probably the family dog!

I am so proud to say us UTES kicked some Cougar butt!!!!! 48-24!! I went with My dad and bros, we tailgated before the game and then after we kept with tradition and celebrated at Macools a lil Irish pub. I am so excited, we are headed to a Bowl game I am really hoping for the Fiesta bowl which is in AZ. I am due for a trip there soon anyways. New Orleans is a possibility and so is Florida, so keep you fingers crossed it's AZ we find out Dec 7.
