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.
