Long time, no post!

Hey Everyone,

Well I am sitting here and supposed to be studying for my mid-term and the site that I am supposed to use for studying is down so...why not blog?!

Let's start with school. So I finished and graduated with my ABT certificate and am now attempting to continue on. My hopes and dreams are to eventually achieve my masters in counseling. Right now I have to start with my social work diploma and work my way up from there. I have started with two classes (which is full time for me since I was deemed a student with a disability, WOOT!), and so far they are going well. I get frustrated often with my memory and learning since it takes me so much longer than it used too. I am happy to be able to attempt to continue schooling and I am excited to see where it goes!

Something that I am excited about is that I accepted a job as a casual clerical in the school district! It is awesome and I didn't really feel like I achieved much at first. Now that I know I have friends who still don't have jobs after completing school and that I have a job that pays well, I realize how blessed I am and that I did achieve my goal and that I am just moving on to the next goal that I have. But if anyone is hiring for clerical or a receptionist let me know ! I know a few really fantastic ones!

We all knew my blog post was going to come to this point, my health. So far I have been feeling pretty good. I have even started to work out at the gym with Brittany and be her trial client since she has received her training certificate. It feels awesome and it is so nice to know that the person putting my work outs together is one of the people who knows my condition the best. I am not sure if I posted it or not but my results from my last MRI was that my AVM was 1/3 healed and my doctor was really impressed. I was pretty happy about that. Now for my cysts, they have been causing me some issues. I went to a naturopath who was wonderful since the birth control that my gynecologist had put me on wasn't working. I was taking the vitamins that he told me to but I was still experiencing pain. My family doctor had sent me for an ultrasound for another pain I was experiencing in my stomach and tagged a pelvic exam onto it to see how my cysts were doing. Turns out they have not decreased in size and I will most likely have to get shots once a month to put my body into a temporary menopause state to try and shrink them. I am not to excited about more chemicals in my body and the side effects don't look fun, but I am happy to know they could get rid of my cysts.

So that is kind of where I am at right now. Whenever I walk into my doctors office now he just smiles at me and asks what the issue is now and says that I have more that I need for a lifetime. lol

I ask for prayer for:
- School to go well and that I have the strength to persist in it
- My cysts shrink and cause less pain
- For my friends still looking for jobs

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
Jeremiah 29:11-13
