Tonight Danny and I went and did our early voting. We got there at like 6:00 and didn't leave until 7:45!!
If early voting is that long I am glad I will not have to wait in line on November 4th! Next year though, I will probably send mine in by mail. Almost everyone I know has done there's by mail this year...I have always just went to the precinct.
Regardless of who you are voting for this is one of the most important elections of our time and the country needs some TLC...so take the time and go vote....its your American right!!!

Monday morning
This past week/weekend have been kind of dull so I haven't had much to talk about!
All last week I have been really aggressive with trying to potty train Brodie. If someone took him for a walk he would go but he doesn't know yet to ask to go out. Plus since I can't really take him for walks myself when nobody is home, I bought a chain so I could hook him up to that. It took me 2 days of basically taking him out there every couple of hours before he got the hint to go potty...otherwise he just sat there and stared at me! So now when I put him on the chain he goes potty but only if I take him out, the next step is figuring out how to get him to tell us if he has to go!! Does anyone have any suggestions??
Friday night we went out to eat to celebrate our friend Karen getting a new job!! We went to a new restaurant that we have never been to called East Side Fire Pit Grill, I had probably one of the best steaks ever there....unfortunately I had an upset stomach so I took most of my dinner home and had it for breakfast the next day.
Saturday, my mom, Karen and I went to Edison mall to go shopping. I was trying to find an outfit to wear next weekend because my whole family is getting pictures done on Sunday. I was supposed to have Brodie in a doggy halloween costume contest but it rained all morning so we didn't go since it was supposed to be outside! Saturday night we went to KFC for dinner (I LOVE the mashed potatoes and cole slaw...yum!!) and then just went back to the house and played some games.
Sunday we had to be up early to go and see my nephew be baptized. He was so excited it was really cute. Then we went shopping again and I got a new pair of jeans from Express but I didn't find a shirt...I will probably just wear something I already have I own a TON of things that are black! Once we got home I started feeling kind of crappy, I was really congested so I did a breathing treatment and I felt a little better. I think I was just over tired from the weekend and running around. I am doing better now!
Today I have to run into work with my laptop...I need a program downloaded to it and it can not be done remotely I have to be plugged into the network. Other than that I will just be at home!

The rest of the weekend....
Well Saturday night was WAY more fun than I thought it was going to be! We were hesitant on going because Danny was so tired but once we got there we had a blast and I couldn't get him to leave!! :) We got to hang out with a lot of our friends that we haven't seen in a really long time....friends and German beer.....good times!!
Me and my friend Tiffany!!
Me and my friend Tiffany!!So we had another late night and then this morning we had to get up early and go to my parents house for brunch. It was nice hanging out with them but I am glad to be home!! I am going to bed early tonight...I have to go into work tomorrow and I don't want to be dead meat!

Tired!
I am SO tired today!! I didn't get to bed till like 3 in the morning...not to mention the bottle of wine Karen and I shared while hanging out!! :)
We are supposed to go to Oktoberfest tonight with a group of our friends so that should be fun. I couldn't go last year because I didn't feel good. Danny has been helping his friend Jeff move all day so we will see if he even wants to still go out when he gets home.
If we do go out I am sure I will have pictures to post later.....until then, have a good evening!!

Check-Up
Never in the history of us going to Gainesville for a doctors appointment have we EVER been seen on time (I am talking we don't get seen for hours after our appt time) but Wednesday....we found out miracles really do happen! :)
My appointment was for 10:30 we got there at about 10:05 . This is how the rest of the appointment went...we were seated, checked out by the nurse, put in a room, talked to by the nurse in charge of there research program and then we saw the doctor. After all that we were in our car and driving home by 11:30!! Now that's what I call AMAZING!!
There are 3 doctors who are at Shands and Wednesday was the first time we met the third one, luckily we liked him a lot. He actually explained things to me so I could understand things instead of the other doctor who just makes me feel like I am a number. I like 2 out of 3 of the doctors so I guess that is good!
He listened to my lungs and he said they sounded clear, so that is good and although they can't tell you exactly where you are on the list he did say there were several people on the list way sicker than me and that have a higher score than I do.
So in order for me to get lungs they would have to see if they are a match for every single one of those people first before they see if its match for me. I have only been on the list for 5 months and the "average" wait they say is a year.
Its good news that I am remaining stable but at the same time I don't want to have to wait so long that I get sick and suddenly have a turn for the worst. The good news is that every time I go to a transplant appointment the doctors meet afterwards to discuss how you are doing and to re-evaluate your score (I didn't know this) so in 3 months when I go for my next appointment if I haven't already had my surgery they will check me out and see where I will be then.
All in all it was a good day and except the fact that I had to get up at 4:30 in the morning to get ready for my appointment and to be out of the house by 6:00 (I was extremely tired by bedtime that night) I was glad we went and I am glad that I am doing ok.
