Catching up

Ok.. so, I am going to get you up to speed on us...

2006- We meet at Church!

2007- We got married!!

2008- I was diagnosed with a prolactinoma. You can read more about that here.

2009- We realized the medication I was on to help shrink the tumor was no longer helping. It was recommended that I have surgery to remove the tumor. Surgery was scheduled for December 16. Our emotions were really high!! We didn't know if we were making the right decision but knew we really wanted to have children. So, December 16 came and went with no surgery due to the doctor being over booked. December 17 I had surgery. All went very well. I felt fairly well and was walking the halls the next day. A few days later, the surgeon came to visit. He said that my prolactin level was still too high indicating that microscopic parts of the tumor remained. So, December 23, we were back in for surgery. We were finally released from the hospital December 27. I had/have a few lingering complications but things are progressively getting better!!

2010... January- I have spent the entire month on medical leave. No drinking from a straw... bummer!!! No bending at the waist... no lifting over 10 lbs...so basically pretty boring!!!

And here we are February!!

Purpose of this Blog

Ok...So, I guess I should explain why I am creating this blog. I have a few things motivating me...

1) I am about to turn thirty and I have no clue where the last thirty years went. So, I plan to keep track of the next thirty here...

I think this song explains it best!!

2) We (Ryan and I) have been married for 3 years and need somewhere to keep track of where our time goes!!

3) I want to lose weight and I think this will hold me more accountable.

4) Last but not least... it seems cool and fun!
