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

A Great Birthday Party!

I can't even begin to tell you what a wonderful evening I had Saturday. It was a true celebration of not only my Birthday, but the wonderful friendships that have gotten me through the last few years. It was my way to honor and thank my friends. Unfortunately, not all of my friends could be there, but I sure was thinking of all of you!


This is the second cake I made in honor of my sister-in-law Leslie whose Birthday was Sunday. She loves chocolate and this cake was a real hit!


We laughed and ate...


and laughed some more..



Party favors (inspired by Cammi who always makes the best looking party favors!)






Hannah and Scott went on a dinner date so that us girls could have the house to ourselves.

Though my actual Birthday isn't until Wednesday, this was a great way to start the celebrating a little early. As far as I'm concerned, the fact that I am here today, ready to turn 35, and am HEALTHY, is SO worth celebrating!!!!!



My love to you all! Nancy
