375 Days…

Until I turn 18! I know it seems silly to start counting now, but I seriously can NOT wait!

Okay, back to reality! I haven’t been blogging as much lately, no excuses, just haven’t. So, here are the pictures of Guido I said I would post.

 

 

 

 

 

Todd was feeling left out…so here’s a recent picture of him!

No news about insurance, or doctors. My heart doctor put me on a blood pressure medication, and within one week, it went from 156/127 to 120/90! Major improvement! We found that out today, when I went to donate blood at a Bloodsource van outside our church today. I have to admit, I was kind of scared, but saving two lives was totally worth it! Now the muscle in my arm is super sore, but again, worth it!

Hopefully we’ll set up our Christmas tree tonight. My mom and stepdad have been shopping all day, so I’m not sure when they’ll be back! They said something about buying a fake tree (UGH) but, fake or not, it still makes the house Christmasy!

I’m so excited for Christmas! My 17th birthday is December 16th, and December 19th we’re going to Chico, and I’m going to stay with Brandon and Angie until Christmas day!

Merry CHRISTmas!!!

Thanksgiving Rush

Whew! This is the first time I have had a chance to breathe since last Wednesday! We left early Thursday morning for the 4 hour drive to Monterey/Carmel. Had Thanksgiving with the step-family, played games, etc.

Then we got up early to go shopping in Downtown Carmel, which was extremely crowded, but fun all the same. Everything is so expensive though! Saturday morning, we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium which was amazing! I had never been there and it was a facinating experience.

After that, we went to meet Guido’s new parents! He was so excited to see me he jumped all over the place. Emmy and Hans were so nice, they were so grateful for Guido and it was great to see them and Guido so happy! Emmy said they would bring Guido to come visit me when I have my surgery at Stanford He’s a registered service dog, so he can go anywhere.

I still have to upload the pictures, so I will post them in a different post.

Comment away!

Where Did My Hair Go?!?

I got my hair layered and thinned for the first time EVER last Friday. I am still getting used to it…it is kind of frizzy/curly/fluffy and I’m only used to it being straight, because it was so thick it couldn’t do anything else! I can actually wear my hair down without my neck getting 105 degrees!

Music…

Just some music videos, if you care to watch.

I don’t think anyone is reading my blog though.

My friend and mentor is having surgery tomorrow. Please pray for her.

Hurry Up, Friday!

We’re going to Chico this weekend, but before that, Friday is my appointment at Castro Commons. I am SO nervous and excited. We’re taking the letter directly from my primary care doctor straight to Dr. Shepard with us on Friday. I am just praying that I get a tentative surgery date.

Also, I got the blood test results today from the Heart Doctor. They don’t really make much sense without the doctor here to explain…so I’ll have to wait until Monday. I tried doing some research to figure out what each test meant,  but didn’t get very much information. The papers say that 8 of the results are “too high.” But I don’t know what they mean yet. Hopefully they’re not too bad.

Well, It’s not even Wednesday yet and I’m having to hold myself back from starting to pack for our trip to Chico. I am way too excited! This Saturday I am spending a night with my bestest buddies Lindsey & Kathleen! I am so happy because we haven’t had much time together since I moved, and all nighters are always fun, especially with church in the morning…possibly.  :-P   And, I’m even more excited because I got a puppy sitter, so I don’t have to stress about the puppy and just have a good time.

That’s all for now,

Much Love,

Kaitlyn

Pumpkin Fluff

 

 My mom makes this “dessert” for Thanksgiving and it is amazing! I thought I would share it with you all, since it is pretty yummy and we actually got it from weight watchers.  One cup = 1 “Point” Can also be substituted for pumpkin pie filling.

Pumpkin Fluff

1 can pumpkin (15 oz)
2 pack sugar-free instant vanilla pudding
2 cups of milk
1 tub lite cool whip (8 oz)
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice (Or cinnamon)

1. I only drink water if it is ice cold, even in the winter time.  
2. I am very knowledgable about dogs. Some would call me a dog snob…and I train Guide Dogs for the Blind.
3. When I ride bikes with others, I hate when people ride on the left side of me. For some reason it makes me feel unsafe. Weird, I know.
