Emily and I enjoyed another relaxing morning. After we finished our morning beverages we got ready for the day. We hopped on the trolley and headed downtown. The sun was shining bright time to get our walk on! We didn’t have a particular destination in mind, we just wondered around, people watching, window shopping, just enjoying each others company. After about an hour of walking around we headed down Westlake street to Blue Moon Burgers.
Today was a blast from the past! Emily and I met two friends we went to high school with today for lunch. I honestly believe the last time the four of us were together was our high school graduation! Yikes that was a long time ago! Although it was great to “catch up” with everyone, reminiscing on old times, to what is currently going on in our life’s. Carissa Young, Sarah Wilson, Emily and I really enjoyed our conversations and each others company today!! It is amazing the paths in life people choose, and where they end up! So glad Emily and I got to see you guys today! Definitely one for the memory books!
After lunch Emily and I took off on foot back to the apartment. We had to make a stop along the way at Bartel’s Drug Store, need to pick up a few items! I will admit that store is fun to wonder through, because you never know what your going to find! After purchasing our items we decided to just walk back to the apartment. Which was a five or six blocks away. So needless to say we definitely got a good walk in today! Emily was amazed at how well I can walk and keep up! Beforehand she was used to me walking extremely slow, dragging an oxygen tank and having to make frequent stops to catch my breathe. Not anymore! I actually think I might have wore her out today! Ha ha!
While we were at lunch today, Sarah Wilson made me an amazing canvas collage! She had chosen pictures from our Double Lung Transplant journey. It turned out amazing!! I cannot wait to hang it up in my office when I get home! Thank you again Sarah, I love it!!
Well today has been another busy day. I hope everyone had a great Sunday! This girl is off to bed! Tomorrow will be another busy day. Starting with rehab in the morning, then it’s off to walk the streets of Seattle with Emily!! Still can’t believe she is here, love this girl to pieces!!!! Going to make my new breathers WORK! Whoop whoop!! That’s my daily goal!
Until next time………..

“Just Breathe”
You are right, our life’s are all a journey and it is incredible to see where the journey has taken each of us and where it continues to lead us. My ferry ride home after being with you today, made me smile and brought back some great memories. No one persons journey is bigger than another’s, just different, but to know yours and to see in person what it’s done for you is simply breathtaking. Makes you hold on to each moment and after today, laughing is the best medicine. Keep up the fight, keep kicking butt girl, and ladies, our paths will cross again. When they do, I know we will pick up right where we left off. Until then, ladies just breathe. Love you ladies.
Go for it!!!
Always nice to catch up with friends. Great pics, have another fun day 🙂
