First post.

About me:

I'm 18 years old. I have a website for Congenital Heart Defect Awareness, called Join The Fight: CHD (JTF) which has been open since the end of August. JTF also has a Facebook page too if you would like to become a fan!

I'm a MAJOR country music fan! Love, love, love country music! I've become friends with Jessie Farrell, who is the most amazing person I think I've ever met. She's SOO down to earth. I <3>

I'm very stubborn, especially when I know what's right and I will stand up for what I believe in, no matter who you are. You could be the president, and if I knew you were wrong, or if I didn't agree with you I would still argue with you... just maybe not as much. But I still will.

I mentioned above that I love country music! I also love other music too, but I'm mainly country. So here are some of my favourite songs you should check out!

Everytime you Lie - Demi Lovato

Nobody Says No - Jessie Farrell

Hold My Beer - Aaron Pritchett

Years Ago Last Night - Gord Bamford ft. Jessie Farrell

How Far Do You Wanna Go - Gloriana

Need You Now - Lady Antebellum

Consider Me Gone - Reba

Naturally - Selena Gomes & The Scene

The Fight - Shiloh

Average Girl - Emily Osment

According to you - Oranthi

Lead Me On - Gloriana

Stayed 'til Two - Gord Bamford

Barefeet on the Blacktop - Shane Yellowbird

Burn So Bright - Jessie Farrell

All The Way Up - Emily Osment

I want a Cowboy - Reba

Roadside Sandwich - Jessie Farrell

Fried - Jessie Farrell

Now that we've covered SOME of the favorite songs, I'm also about inspiring/funny/"they actually happened to me" quotes (*- They actually happened with me and people I know) :

"He looks earthy...makes me wanna go camping"*

"Spill"..."No thanks, I like my coffee"*

"And then you have instant mashed potatoes"*

"Heads up there's a knife in here".... "Heads up there's a watermelon between my legs"*

"You Should get your hair cut like that"*

"This is not general surgery in miniature. These are tiny humans. These are children. They believe in magic. They play pretend. There is fairy dust in their IV bags. They hope. And cross their fingers. And they make wishes. And that makes them more resilient than adults. They recover faster. Survive worse. They believe. In peds we have miracles and magic. In peds anything is possible" -- Grey's anatomy

"I'm all over this like chocolate on a Viva Puff"

"This is the week we start to make our stand. Stand for what YOU believe in. Stand for all that is right!" - Billy Ray Cyrus

There are a few of my favourite quotes. Now, here are a photo's I made in honor of a little girl named Cora. She has an undiagnosed CHD and only lived to be 5 days old. Her mommy, Kristine, has been spread her daughter's story like mad! I've had the honor of getting to know her and other heart parents, I'll tell you all more about them in different entries!

Hope you enjoyed reading my first entry. They'll get more interesting as they come!
