Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving I decided to make my first turkey and it turned out great! We had Nicks friend Mark Cornish over. Mark has been over every weekend for 3 weeks now. He is new to the ship and lives on it. Nick and I are considering asking him to live with us. Of course since he is not getting BAH we will only ask him for money to do his laundry, money for groceries,and that he pick up after himself some. He is a real nice guy and very clean. I don't see the problem, it's just bringing it up.

I had some blood tests done for PCOS. They came back showing what my doctor called "Per-PCOS". So I have an appointment the 1st to talk to my OBGYN about this more. I just want to make sure I understand all this, and that the course of action I've picked is the right one.
Today was the big Ohio State Michigan game. I am Ohio State all the way, and Nick is Michigan. Of course Ohio won! I wish I had pictures to show of our Thanksgiving. I took some but our camera decided not to save them to our memory card. We will be going to see the Holiday lights at the beach soon. Other than that nothing much is happening. I'm still looking for a job and Nick still feels the same about ship life.

November 15, 2010

Sorry it's been so long. We have been pretty busy and time just seemed to fly by. My in-laws came to visit for a few days during the summer. We went to see the Old Cape Henry Light House, and did a lot of shopping. Then the following week my mom, dad, grandma, and sister came down for a few days. We took them to see the Light House as well. My sister stayed with us for a week because she had a dance competition here. She did a good job and I'm so proud of her. My husband finished C-school in October so we went back to Ohio for a while. While we were in Ohio I went to see my dentist and I have to get my bottom two wisdom teeth taken out. We came back 2 days before he had to report to his ship. He seems to be liking it on the ship, he says the only problem is the beds. He says he might as well be sleeping in a cardboard box. It's too little for him.

Shortly after getting back from Ohio I went to see my doctor. I had been having some pretty intense pelvic pains, they were so bad I was crying and couldn't walk. The doctor did his thing and told me it sounds and feels like a cyst on my ovary's. So he sent me to get two pelvic ultrasounds, then sent me to see an OB/GYN. There the doctor examined me again, then told me to get dressed and wait in his office because "We need to talk." Needless to say I was thinking "Oh Crap!" It's never good when a man says those four words, it's even worse when it comes from a doctor. He told me that both of my ovary's are enlarged with multiple cysts, and that after seeing the ultrasounds and blood work, he believes I have Polycystic Ovary Disease or PCOS. So now I am trying to lose at least 10 pounds, I am being put on a new birth control pill, and I have to start eating better. My doctor said there is really nothing I can do. I'll always have PCOS so all I can do is manage the side effects.


Let's see what else. Oh! I transferred from Liberty University Online to Ashford University Online. My current GPA there is  3.85. We tried to adopt a dog but within 5 minutes our cat, Allie had him bleeding in 3 different places. She didn't even have to see him before she started hissing. 


Right now I am waiting to hear about a teacher's assistant job at a school called La Petite Academy. Other than that not much else is going on. I'll upload some picture from the summer.
