Zachary Levi be warned

Nicole now thinks that the two of you are in a competition...after you sent me the picture she decided to paint me a Wonder Woman symbol thing for my wall...also she and my entire cabin at camp think I should send you a signed picture of myself...just because it would be funny...

On another note I went to a wedding on Friday...and well it was great...I ended up feeling dead-ish on Saturday but it was worth it...for me it was a beautiful day...I got to see a lot of people that I love a lot...so that obviously was nice...so did my sister Ashley and it was fun to see her get to reconnect with old friends...we danced a lot...and I couldn't stop laughing the majority of the time...

But more than that it was a good day because we got to celebrate...that is something that is nice to do with people when you have been through a lot of tough things together...Deanna (the bride) and I have been friends since we were 4...so our family and her family have been through my countless health issues including my 1st transplant...and then Willie's (Deanna's dad) death...and then Deanna's health issues...my kidney failure now...and then my dad's accident...life has been a bit rough for our families...and we have been through those rough things together...calling on each other...praying for each other..we have shed a lot of tear together and more were shed at the wedding as we remembered Willie and how great of a person and dad he was...Seth (Deanna's older brother) was right (and made me cry) and he told David (the groom) that thought David and Willie never met Willie would have loved David and approved of him and would have been proud of him...

After the tears early on it was nice to laugh and party and celebrate with a family that means so much to me...I can't even begin to count all the things that made us laugh...or how much my face hurt at the end of the night from smiling so much...

I should also note that the Waters family (Deanna, Seth, Julie, and Jolie) was not the only family we got to celebrate with who have been through so much with us all...we also got to celebrate with the Peters (Debbie, Lynn, Jakie, and Jakie's girlfriend Stephanie) and the Holloways (Jolly, Laura, Sarah, and Mariah) and the Gomans (Ken and Kay)...they are the type of friends you want to have around and that you want in your life...and I am so glad David is a part of that now and that he and Deanna love each other so much...I love to see you guys together to watch you laugh and take care of each other...

I am so thankful to have people like them in my life...and to be able to celebrate such a great day with them on Friday...as Julie kept saying during her speech at the wedding..."I am blessed"...

Scars

Image
I said quite some time ago that I would post a picture of my newest scar...and then I forgot...when I remembered I thought why not just do a post about my scars...I know people who have tattoos and show those off...but I don't have those instead my story is etched on my body in a different way...so here it is...and in some of them I tried to circle scars that I thought were hard to see but it may end up being easier to see them without my attempt at helping... So these first two are obviously of my stomach...the scar with the one by it is hard to see but that scar is over 20 inches long...it wraps around my left side...you can see the end of it in the picture below...that is from my first transplant from when I was 8...the scar with the 2 by it is from my most recent transplant...which as you can tell is much smaller and is still a little red because it's still healing...the three scars circled under my belly button in the bright blue are from dialysis when I was 21 mon

It’s been a while

Hey there, So it’s been a while. I wish I could say I was returning with amazingly great news about life or some mind blowing tidbit about Jesus. But I think by now if you are reading this or have rread any of my posts in the past you know that is not this blog. Having a blog that mostly chronicals the downs of being a person with a chronic illness means that posting again after a bit of a hiatus can really only mean one thing - more downs to report. If you’ve seen my recent social media posts. You might think, “How can that be? You are doing all this work at your house.” Well when you are sick you get good at knowing that life goes on no matter how you feel. So you go on and sometimes above with it. Here’s what is going on - after having a horrible appointment with a gynecologist in something like October I finally decided I really needed to see someone else because the increasing pain on and off my period is not ok. And as someone who has wanted a hysterectomy for more than 1

After Moving Day

Health update - I have been feeling better since starting this medication. The side effects were a little rough at first but I think my body has adjusted since I have been feeling much better and have energy again. Mom and Dad moved into their newly remodeled house this weekend and I am so happy for them. They have needed a one story house for a few years since they have been talking about it even before Dad's accident. We have already created so many fun memories and stories to tell during the renovation that I can't wait to see what other adventures this house has for our family. Often during this move I have felt like other people have been more attached to my parents house than my family. Sure my brother, sister and I all grew up in that house and we had a lot of fun memories in that house. But a four bedroom, two level house was too much house for my parents to live in alone. In the past few years instead of being able to remember the fun times in the house we've j
