Tough Week for me

Well...as some of you may know...I have been getting tested for my thyroid for the past 3-4 months. What a pain in the butt it has been, having to be patient and wait for the dr. to call and tell you to go get another test done, go have your blood drawn again, etc... It has been very frustrating. In the meantime, I was searching on the interent to find out about thyroid problems and was telling myself, oh it can't be the bad ones that I'm reading about, God won't let that happen to me. Well, little did I know God always knows best and gives you nothing more than you can handle. On Monday, I went to the dr. again, an endocrinologist to be exact this time, and I was told I have Graves Disease. (The one I had been saying, "Oh, I won't get that one.") God always has a mind of His own. LOL! the dr. told me I had one day to make a decision on what I was going to do. So, in a frantic, upset, crying voice, I called David and my mom and we decided what would be best for me. Now, I just wait for insurance to say it's okay to start and in about 1-2 weeks I will be taking radioactive iodine and then can't be around any human life form for about 5 days. No sleeping with David, no hugging or kissing him, can't eat on our kitchenware (have to use stuff that can be thrown away), and worst of all, I can't talk aloud to anybody. So, I will be on the internet, talking away to anyone that I possibly can or texting. So hit me up, when it all starts. (PLEASE!!!) Hopefully this fixes things, and then I will just be on a pill a day for the rest of my life to control my thyroid.

I am now okay with everything, just had a hard time at first accepting it from the Dr. and what I have to do after taking this stuff. Please be praying for me and David, since he will not get to hang out with his wife for a while.

Wii Fit!

Well my best friend picked up the Wii Fit for me and I am now officially obsessed. It's so much fun! Who would've have thought that a video game would actually be your personal trainer and help you loose weight. Well not I! Anyways...I hav a lot of fun working out right on my own T.V. David likes watching me...but only because I shake my but a million times when I do the hula hooping. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!Let's just hope that this really works for me cause I hate going to the gym to do aerobics and strength training. I'm gonna get back into swimming, but it's hard to get there everyday. So, if I can get to the gym 3 times a week and workout on my Wii everynight, I will be set to go.

Angels Win

We went to another game...of course the Angels won, 4-3. Frankie had a another save, making it his 53rd save of the season. What a great game it was, except for being stinkin' hot. This family in front of us bought 5 rally monkeys, 3 foam fingers, and 3 more tiny rally monkeys. It was hillarious. We just kept watching the vendors come and bring stuff to this family. Well, we're off to bed.

A "HOT" Friday Night

Well...this week has been very very hot. We actually had to use me air conditioner. We usually don't have to use it since we're gone at work during the day and at night you just open up the windows for a cool breeze from "Blowmont" a.k.a. Beaumont. I had the air on high each night this week. It felt so miserable! I don't know how some of you do it in the heat and humidity. Not only has it been really hot, in the triple digits, but also really humid. Something you don't usually get in Southern California. But guess what, surprise we had it this week. Thankfully it has started to cool down tonight.

On another note, Grandpa Aten came down and he finally came to see our house and our two puppies. He loved them so much. They had a blast playing with Grandpa. And like usual they tired him out instead of us tiring them out. These dogs can go a mile a minute and never stop once for a drink of water. It's amazing. Delilah is like a kangaroo and Samson chasing behind her.

This weekend is a three day weekend for Labor Day and it is jam packed for us. Angel game tomorrow night. I'll post later. I hope they win. They've been doing good! Sunday we have church and then one of my best friends is getting married in the evening. She going to look beautiful. I can't wait! Monday David is going dove hunting for opening day and I'm with Cassie and Brandon as they open their wedding gifts at her parents house. What a fun-filled weekend we have to look forward to. So off to catch my rest now, cause we're gonna need it for the rest of the week to come.

My puppies!

Samson and Delilah

Life...

Well it has been a crazy week of just life. I know God doesn't give us anything we can't handle...but somtimes I don't think I can truly handle all that God puts on my plate. I know I can...it's just a lot to take in at times. Deep down, sometimes I just want to scream and shout why. The Lord proves to me daily that it's all going to work out through reading, praying, and friends being there for me. Somehow, throughout my day, the Lord demonstrates how much I truly mean to Him. I thank the Lord daily for all that He has given me. He has truly blessed us with EVERYTHING we have. I couldn't thank Him enough for all of the many blessings. Still in this many blessings He gives us, I still have trials. I don't always understand them but God has a purpose and a plan for us. Even little ol' me.
As some of you know, I have recently found out that I have a thyroid problem. It scares me still that it may be cancer but I just continue to wait on God and He leads me through. As much as I am not a real patient person, God IS teaching my patience and perseverance. Just continue to pray that the doctors know what to do about my thyroid. I wish it was just something they could take care of right now, but medicine doesn't work that way, so I wait. I have an appt. at Redlands Hospital on September 8th and 9th. Pray for me that it all works out accordingly. Maybe a miracle will happen and it will be gone. In the mean while, I'm waiting and praying.

Date Night

Tonight David and I went on a date. It was so much fun. We went to Red Robin for dinner. I had this amazing crispy chicken salad. It was so good and huge. I couldn't finish it all. Of course, the garbage disposal (David-LOL) finished it off; or what he could of it. We then went to Bass Pro Shop in Victoria Gardens. That store is gigantic. It's so cool too! Found some cool stuff, but only bought some shotgun shells for David to go hunting next week. We then walked around and I got to buy a cute dress and then some soap from Bath and Body Works. I feel like I'm getting old, cause I got excited for the soap and that it was on sale. 7 for $20 bucks, that's a steal. Oh well, have to get old sometime. We then decided we wanted some ice cream so we went to Cold Stone and then came home.
What a fun date it was. I love David so much. I don't know what I would do without him. Well, off to bed. Talk to you tomorrow! David is attempting to change the breaks in the Corolla; good thing my dad will be helping him. Hehehehehe!!!!
