This is what pure happiness looks like, no oxygen, hands up, smiling like a fool after scoring a strike at cosmic bowling with my family and a good friend of mine. This is a feeling i wont soon forget.
This week has been filled with fun and laughter. My niece had her spring break so it was great having her home every day and to be able to go out and do things (like bowling) with her! I made a few trips to Milwaukee, one for a birthday dinner with one of my best friends, who also has CF, and one during the week for a Milwaukee brewers game!
The Brewers game was fun ive never seen a game at Miller stadium before and i liked it although im not sure about the whole concept of tailgating a baseball game, in Chicago we tailgate football and for everything else we drink on the train on the way there like normal people, baseball tailgating was a new one for me and i was a baby about the cold so i skipped it haha but i went with a few friends and met some people there as well, one of which i have been waiting to meet for a very long time now. If you like my blog you might like hers as well, The Living Breathing Wendy. She is really the reason i got back into blogging in the first place and i have her to thank for inspiring me to keep writing about my life and my experiences and meeting her was a top moment. She also has CF and as cheesy as it is to say, shes a huge inspiration to me not only as someone with CF but as a person in general. Shes fun and full of life and im so lucky to be able to call her a friend! 
Possibly my best day however was going downtown to the CBS Chicago studios to meet the woman who came to me about being a contributor to the website and who made all my CBS blog posts possible. ( which you can read all here : Rachel Whidden for CBS ) I woke up early and got ready and havent stressed about what i wore for a day in about 8 years haha. I took the train downtown with my oxygen cause i figured thered be a ton of walking and i was right im glad i brought it. The studios were awesome, the control room had so much going on and everyone seemed to be doing 900 things at once it was pretty cool to see all that, then i got a little tour of the make up room and a green screen room and then i got to sit in the studio while they finished up the live news and get a picture with 2 of the anchors (one of which actually covered a bit on my blog a while back so it was fun to actually meet him!) The icing on the cake was being able to sit down face to face with Wendy (the amazing woman who got me started there) and pick her brain about the industry, and my blog. Being able to talk to her about a plan for school and my future was huge, shes a big role model for me so hearing her tell me she thinks my plan is good and giving me recommendations for schools and tips for my writing was invaluable.
I had a few nights out with friends, and one downtown playing Harry Potter trivia and a few just hanging out at my house playing video games with my sister and hanging out with the kids, who are a riot and a half! The baby is at the funniest age and my niece is a whole lot of sas so together its pretty entertaining! The point is ive woken up excited for the day ahead and then went to sleep with a smile on my face every night and i couldnt be happier for how things are going. I cant wait till i can post again about the next set of amazing things making my life what it is. Stay tuned. Its gonna be good.
