Looking Forward

Now that we are in a new year and I shared some of the good from last year I thought I would quickly share some of the things I am looking forward to in 2015.

One of the things I am excited for is that mom and dad will move into their house sometime in the new year. There is still quite a bit of work to be done but so much of the house is taking shape. It's fun to watch the progress and I look forward to moving day whenever it may be!

I am also excited about all my friends that are expecting new babies in the new year! My wish for them in the new year is happy, healthy, beautiful babies that being o much joy into their lives.

After years of being told to dream big I am looking forward to how God will blow my mind in that way - more specifically by way of a job. There should be some interesting things at play in the next few weeks and I am excited to see what will happen. I believe that God will come through on that dream and possibly some others.

While thinking about what else to add to this blog I was thinking that one of the things I want to be better at this year is believing the good that people see in me. I feel like doubt has ruled a lot of my life recently and that I have not been confident in the abilities that God has given me. I don't want to live that life. I want to live life with confidence not cockiness. Though I know doubt is normal I do not want to let that doubt turn into fear. I want to believe in myself the way other people do. So I guess that is my resolution for the new year.

I hope your new year is looking as bright as mine.

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
