You've Been Given the Gift of Life, Give it Back!

Welcome friends and family!

Thank you for visiting my blog. It documents my amazing journey from pre to post double lung transplant. I am a 37 year old mother and wife with Cystic Fibrosis who has been more greatly blessed than I could ever imagine possible!

It has been a bumpy ride, but God has given me strength, love, friendship, and, FINALLY, health. My prayers have been answered, my miracle was granted, and I want to share the joy of my new life with you.

If you are a first time visitor, please take a moment to watch The Miracle of Transplantation video below. To me, pictures speak a thousand words.

My entries begin in April of 2008 and my double lung transplant was December 10. Scroll down to my blog archive and you can read from the beginning or jump around. If you are looking for a specific topic, you can use the search engine.

Please feel free to contact me with questions or feedback, I would love to hear from you!

I hope I can help you to experience the love God has for each and every one of us!

May God Bless You with Miracles in Your Life! Nancy

Birthday Party

Hello!

I am busy preparing for my Birthday party. Yes, I decided to have one, but it isn't going to be the HUGE party I originally dreamed up, Scott convinced me that would be too much work for me and wouldn't allow me enough time to visit with everyone, so I am just having a few girlfriends over for a slumber-not party. I can't wait to pamper my friends with some yummy food, great conversation, and a relaxing movie. I can't wait!

I just finished ONE of the cakes, I thought I'd let you see it. I was very pleased with how it turned out. This one is a carrot cake (check my cooking blog in the next few days for a recipe if you're interested).


I'll most more pictures after the party. My love to you all! Nancy
