Hello Friends and Family!

Wow, it is true what they say; the days can be long, but the years FLY by.  I cannot believe it is time again for the annual Cystic Fibrosis Great Strides fundraiser!  Troye, Kaydence, and I hope you are all living your best life and truly enjoying some of those long days!  We are still living in Laguna Hills and taking full advantage of all Southern California has to offer.  Whether we are hanging on the beach, watching Kaydence play flag football, or taking a hike along one of the many trails nearby, we are eternally grateful for the joy and blessings we have received! 

We have had some huge changes this past year that are truly worth celebrating!  We were fortunate enough to have my parents move nearby which has made for some very fun spur of the moment get togethers.  My sister and her husband were married last year and are now expecting, and the joy of having a nephew and cousin is unexplainable.  We also enjoyed trips to our ever-favorite place, Costa Rica, a couple of theme parks, NFL games, and had an overdue family reunion at Balboa Island over the summer.  I am so thankful to have close friends and family who we can “do life” with.

My health continues to remain stable; some days, I am truly unaware of this disease that once controlled my life thanks to the miracle drug Trikafta.  While I am still on a few breathing treatments and many pills, the days of carting around large machines and medications to go on a quick vacation while consistently coughing seem to be behind us.  For those of you who have been with us for the long haul, you can all agree it is truly a God-given miracle! 

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is the world’s leader in the fight against Cystic Fibrosis.  Great Strides is one of their largest fundraisers, allowing for further research and drug development to help those unable to use certain medications and ultimately find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis.  With your donations, we have been making this happen year after year.   I am beyond grateful for this community and truly appreciate all your dedication to this fight.  Please feel free to use the below link to donate to my personal webpage, or if you would prefer, please send a check made out to the CF Foundation to the address below.  Thank you all for your consistent support!  

Love and appreciate you all
