I don't know why but recently I have had the feeling to just throw caution to the wind. I don't know why, but life is too short to stop yourself from doing what you want.

I give you permission to go have fun. Try new things. Stop putting off the that activity you have been wanting to do because you don't have time, money, patients, whatever. Everything will be okay in the end.

I have loved fishing since I was little. However I don't go very much anymore. Maybe some trout fishing here or there. The other week I told Keith that I want to go salmon fishing.

Well today we went on a guided salmon fishing trip today with Jesse from good ol' boys guided fishing.

He was amazing. One of the kindest fishermen I have ever met! He was SOOOO kind with our son as he was learning.

We are going to plan another trip with Jesse with all the kids!

I caught the biggest fish! No really I did.

Keith lost a monster! It weighed like eleven-ty seven sixty two pounds and was like 46 feet long. I'm joking, but it probably was at least 40lbs. It tied up our boat with 3 others. Everyone's poles and lurers were a tangled mess.

It was worth the drive. The early morning. The cold. I only have truly regretted the things I haven't done. So let yourself experience all the joys that life has to offer!

Why we are here

This is my story. This is my journey. Here is a place for me to work through the issues that come with the process of receiving a double lung transplant. Here, feel free to comment, share, ask questions, and interact. This is a place for learning, growing, and overcoming.

I met this man 8 years ago. We fell in love, moved to Washington, added to the family, and were building a life together. We had awful low points and hard times, and wonderful highs. We thought that we were coming out of a very low low. Then I was hit with this disease in February 2018.

Since that time we have gone through surgeries, illness, tears, and laughter. I was referred for transplant September 2019. This is a very scary road we are navigating. With the support of our family, friends, and God we will make it through.

This is my battle and I want to share it with you.
