March already

Yes, I am a very bad blogger. It is not that I don't want to but finding the time is difficult.

I have been trying to make the most of every moment I have with these lungs. I have been going in to work everyday. I have been working out 7 days a week. I am having fun trying new things. The College I work at have put a great wellness program together. Two days a week, get beat up in boot camp. I love it because you can push yourself as much or as little as you want. One day a week, I enjoy hula hooping class and the other two days I take aqua fitness. Three to four times a week, I have been joining my husband at the gym and lifting weights. I want to be buff by bikini season. Ha Ha Ha.

I have been able to spend more time with my friend, Andrea and her children. Andrea has been a great friend to me for over 30 years and I am so glad we have been able to enjoy each other's company more often.

I am starting to do more travel for work. I haven't flown yet but plan to in the next six months. I also am becoming more active with the Alumni Association at Saint Joseph's College of Maine where I work and graduated from in 1998.

In two weeks, I am starting my MBA in leadership degree. My plan is to be done by December 2013.

Next weekend, I will be spending time with two of my favorite girls. We are going to Boston for two night and then Cape Cod for two nights. I can't wait. We always have a blast together.

I have been enjoying time with my family and my husband. I have been able to spend time with my sisters and their children.

Tomorrow, I go to Brigham and Woman's for my almost one year anniversary appointment. I can't believe how far the time has flown. With all the ups and downs I would not change the past year for anything.

Life has been good to me and I feel blessed to have been able to wake up and breathe with ease over the past year. As aways this blog is dedicated to my donor and his/her family.
