This years birthday was significant in several ways. When I was born the life expectancy for a CF person was 18 years old and now here I am celebrated my 25th, golden birthday. This was also my first birthday to breathe with new lungs and thankfully I was able to be out of the hospital to celebrate this special day. Also I got the most cards, e-mails, and messages (comments) I have ever gotten on any birthday from friends & family and, WOW, that sure made my day!
I had some friends (Carrie W. Heather, Beth, Carrie B.) come and surprise me with gifts for me and Faith and help me celebrate the big day. I had just gotten out of the hospital that day and when I walked into the Town House, Emily T. had decorated the whole apartment with balloons, confetti, streamers, and a cake! Needless to say I enjoyed the afternoon very much!
I was able to blow out my candles!

Dear Em,
You did it! You blew out those 25 lighted candles! It may seem like a small thing, but what it represents is great indeed. I pray you will feel well for the rest of your recovery time. We love those photos. We love you, Grandpa and Grandma Newville
Emily,
I am so glad you are feeling better and got a chance to enjoy your birthday. We're 25 now, and that is certainly cause for celebration! The Lord is good, gracious and compassionate, and He has given you such a wonderful spirit of truth and joy that is truly something we all get to rejoice in as members of the Church. You are lovely to behold as a woman who knows her fears, but chooses to live as Christ has called you: in freedom. I miss you and cannot wait to see you and your family again.
