Ill start with Spring Break. It was an absolutely amazing time. I got to see my friends and family. I spent time with the most special person in the world to me, my sister Ashley. She is my everything. I had a Mary Kay party which was very fun, I went on a date with Nathan, and a double date with our best friends. The last thing was one of my very favorite parts, my doctors appointment, which leads me to my next thought.
The last weekday of my spring break, which was Friday, I had my doctors appointment with my Neurologist. This appointment was to see if I would need steroid treatments for my lungs before surgery because with my disease, my lungs are weak, and may not tolerate surgery well. My neurologist talked to my surgeon and they decided that my lungs are strong enough for surgery without the steroids!! Praise God!! Steroids can have harmful side effects. I am just so unbelievably blessed. I could not possibly love life any more than I do. I feel like I may be the happiest person alive!! =)
I thank all of you for reading my blog, I love all of you so much!! I have been so busy, I promise I will update more during summer, since I will have nothing but time from being laid up. I am looking forward to that time as I will be able to get further in my book "Strength Through Jesus" about going through life with a diagnosed disease. I am also looking forward to all of the uninterrupted time I will get to spend with God. This experience has helped me continue to grow. Yes it has been the hardest thing I have ever had to go through, but I would not change one single minute of it. This journey has completely changed my life. I have learned to live every single moment for Jesus Christ, and to me that is worth it all.
Love you all, God bless you, and enjoy this beautiful weather and these amazing days in God's creation!!!!
P.S. If you want to, leave me a comment and let me know you were here! =) it's nice to know who reads my blog so I can thank you personally. God bless you!!!! <3

You are a srtong girl and I love what you have done. God and your friends seem to be there the most for you and that is wonderful to hear.
