that time I went to the rockies....

I went to the rockies about two weeks ago to visit my best bud Ian.

It was the best time!

Flying on a 4 hour flight. Carrying JUST a backpack and my purse on to the plane as my carry on (usually my carryon is a full on suitcase, having my old compressor, nebulizers, medicines, and countless other puffers, and useless other things that used to keep my old lungs still kickin'. These days my carry on bag is more of a "if i feel like putting it in there for my own comfort I will"...magazine, gummie bears, noise cancelling headphones, i pod, book, avocado sandwhich (thanks Ian)...only stuff that I want to bring (oh and of course my insulin and pill pack for the week, but that is so tiny compared to what I used to have to bring)

I teared up a couple times, I'm not going to lie when I got to climb up the side of the 2nd tallest waterfall in the world. I loved that I was out there doing things. We went to: Moraine Lake. Went to Lake Louis. Canoed on Emerald Lake. Saw the natural bridge and climbed on Takakkawa Falls. We also managed to take 316 photos and 116 videos. The videos are my favourite part. Such a great montage of memories.

Enjoy the photos of me rockin' out these new lungs and newly regained back muscles!

me...and the rockies...neat-o!

that time I went to the leaf's game....

This is a year of so many firsts. Things I was never able to do, or never had the opportunity to do.

Last night I went to the leafs game. My very first one! It was such a crazy wild feeling seeing the ACC like that for the first time.

Is it the new lungs? 
but everything just seems THAT much better in life now!

my first glimpse of the ACC

he makes me laugh. (and also look like a witch? at least it's halloween soon)

FUN night!

a walk in town

the best feeling in the world.

getting offered a ride home, but saying "no thanks, it's a beautiful day. I am alive and can breathe. I'll walk home."
