Stevi's new job

Congrats - how very exciting for you. Hope your fingerprinting doesn't take as long as mine. FBI is taking 60-90 days to approve fingerprints for real estate licensing - yikes.

In The Tom Life

I got a JOB!!!!! I am so excited. It was a blessing and an answer to prayers. Never received a call or responses back from any other places that I submitted my resume too so this just showed me that there was a reason why I got a call back on this job. This is a job that is an idea job for me. I didn't tell anyone about this job because one I have a weird superstition thing and two I didn't want to say anything until it was official. Well now it is official!!! I don't know when my start date is, we are waiting on my finger prints and background check that was taken on Mon and once they receive it we will discuss a start date. The company is called Agape Villages. They are a foster family care agency and I will be their administrative assistant. Its 2 mins away from my house. Which is really nice, but in the mean time I will be having to drive Bryan to work until we save up for another car. Which wont be too long. I just wanted to fill you all in with whats going on. So thank you all who have kept us in your prayers. I really appreciate all your prayers. We love you all and thank you again!!!

Vacations

Hi everyone, It's been a while since I have been here. Pete and I went to Hawaii on a cruise and had a great time. My brother Frank and his wife Diane went also. Hawaii is beautiful. On our way back we couldn't get a flight out of San Francisco because of the storm we had at home. All the airports were closed. We stayed with Frank and Kelly for a 5 days until we could get a flight home. Frank and Kelly welcomed us into their home, and we had a wonderful time. We had so much fun there. Freddy sang for us every night. He is awesome and a great guy. Streilynn and Bryan are very special too. We laughed all week long. Thank you Frank and Kelly.

After a week home we went to Las Vegas for a week. There we got to meet Fred, Deborah, Natalie and Oakley.

We spent a nice afternoon at Natalie's, she was a wonderful host, then went to dinner with Fred and Deborah. Then another day they came to lunch at our hotel. Oakley is just so adorable. We had a great time with them too. Natalie is a very warm beautiful girl. I only wish we could have met her husband. We were so happy to meet our cousins on both trips.

Then we came home and Frank and Diane came to visit us. We had a great time with them. They left and 3 days later we met them in Orlando Florida at their time share. We went to Universal's Halloween Horror Night. That was so much fun. Went to Disney Village too. I just love Orlando.

So we had a great time Vacationing these last few months. So happy we met my cousins.

Closure.......Maybe

So today I received a call from the specialist office that I had to go get more blood work done for my thyroid and cushings last week. Well the results are in and they are above ↑. So for some prior info on this that in January of this year I was pulled off all my medication even birth control because my body was definitely in whack. Well its been over 7 months with nothing in my body and all the test results came back in normal range. I am actually happy about his. No more thyroid problem which is a blessing because that medication was a pain. Always having to get blood work done and always getting my dosage changed. Well now that I am all in the clearance I think that my body will start to function. I was taking heavy medication for over 8 years and the specialist said that really takes a toll on your body especially when they are constantly changing the dosage and adding to medication. We are going to try for the next two months to continue to eat healthy, and workout more. I can actually feel a difference in my body that I have never felt. I have more energy I am not as tired as much and I don't feel tight and bloated. I mean my body shows differently but I have to start somewhere. I am looking at this in a positive light that I corrected my thyroid problem and that the horrible cushings disease is scratched as well. I will keep you guys all updated and thanks for the prayers. I ♥ you all!!!

Hopefully Closure

So today I went and saw a specialist and my thyroid. Let me first say that having this unknown medical problem has not been fun at all. It is one of the hardest trials that I have to deal with. Still no answers. I have to take some pill at 11pm and do a fast til 8am and get more blood work. Dr. Chao my endocrinologist said to pray it isn't Cushings since it is a really awful medical problem. I may just be one of the rare ones to have a thyroid problem and the pills make it normal but my body wants to do its own thing and I may just have to learn to deal with it. I am already started to accept that. So hopefully next week we will have more answers. I will let you all know. Please keep me in your prayers thanks.

A Change of Pace

I wasn't going to post this but since I know we have this blog to fill everyone in here I go.
So as most of you know I lost my job weds. It was a complete shock but I feel a blessing in disguise. I have had very many trials in my life and I know I will get through this. I am learning to be more positive, grateful, and happier now. I remind myself of the things I can control and how to make those things better. I am so extremely grateful for my amazing husband and the love and support that he gives me. He is my rock and he keeps me grounded. Just please keep us all in your prayers that whatever is in store for us all will work out. I hope everyone has a fabulous friday and enjoys their weekend.
