A little about us...

My name is Ryan and my wife's name is Amanda. We are just two people with a lot in common that fell in love. Just so happens that one of those commonalities is Cystic Fibrosis (CF). We are breaking all the rules with being together, but love knows no boundaries.

Amanda and I met a few years ago at a CF walk kick-off event. Who knew our path's would cross again.

I was going through a rough time in January 2012, and a friend of ours mentioned to Amanda that I might need someone to talk to. Being the caring person she was, she contacted me to talk. We had an instant connection. She had previously gone through what I was going through, and was there to lend an ear. We started talking more frequently and feelings started developing. When we saw each other, there was a feeling that we had never felt before, almost like in the movies, love at "first" sight. Our friendship was stronger than ever and with feelings developing stronger and stronger every day, we decided that we had to make a hard decision. Being that we both had CF we had to decide where this relationship was going, did we want to take it to the next level, or was it going to end at just being friends. After a little time we both decided we were ready to take it to the next level. There was no turning back. We were in love, and took our last first kiss.

Last saturday before 1 year of treatment...


Today is my last Saturday before I start my yearlong antibiotic treatment. Starting Monday I will take 3 antibiotics daily for at least a year. I have no idea how these drugs are going to affect me, I have no idea how I am going to feel, all I know is I am going to kick this bugs ass!

I started out the day by waking up early to go to work. Yes, I had to work on my last weekend before treatment. The joys of being office manager are great, NOT! I worked from 8:10am-12pm. Not a long day, but still cut in to my sleeping in time with my honey. Weekends are usually spent at least in the morning sleeping in and cuddling with Amanda and sometimes Mugen too. After working all week, I usually need this time to rest so that I will be good to go Monday morning when the week starts over.

After work I stopped by best buy to see if they had any wireless headphones, because as some of you know, nebulizers are loud and make it hard to hear the TV unless you blare it so the whole world can hear it. Best Buy didn’t have any in the price range I wanted, so off I went to Fry’s. If any of you know what Fry’s is, it’s an electronic store that carries everything a guy could possibly want in electronics. I made it out of there in 40 minutes when I went in for one thing. After buying 5 things only one of which I went for, I was headed to pick up my lunch.

One of the antibiotics I am going on prohibits me from eating certain foods, and not just one or two, over a dozen different things I cant eat for the year while I am on the antibiotic. I picked up a sandwich from Jersey Mike’s and got it to go so I could come home to my honey. After eating and cleaning up a little I am back in bed, about to watch some SOA. Quality cuddle time next to Amanda with Mugen at our feet. We have some friends coming in to town in a little bit so we need the rest. Also tomorrow is date day, since it will be last day before antibiotics.

Well enough for now. Off to watch SOA.
