Life is too short

Wow, I need to catch up on here more often! To put everyone up to speed with me I only have to focus on 3 things. Guess my life is pretty much the same .


"My sister all grown up now"

1st-School is going well. I am so blessed the Lord directed me to Fresno State, the professors have been great, friends are a huge support, and I have grown so much. I thought I would struggle living on my own, however, I have done well and continue to enjoy it. Even though I miss home very much. I will be done with school next fall with a degree in History. Yeah! then after that who knows, I am up for suggestions though!

"This might just be the best picture of Bryan and I.... Ok maybe not the best but it is funny"


2nd-I am still with Bryan. We are still learning about each other and growing. He is stationed in Hawaii now. I have been blessed to visit him over New Years. We got to watch football together and spend every second laughing or doing something crazy. Because we have so much in common it is so easy to get lost together and let the day fly by. I am still working on a way to freeze time so I don't ever have to say goodbye. But I hope to see him in May or this summer. He has been so great with the changes in my life, meaning my health and does a great job of lifting me up and supporting me.

3rd- Speaking of which my health is the center of my life now, not because I want it to, but because it has to. Each day is planned around my body and what it can do or handle. My parents have been so loving and concerned they found a specialist to see down in LA. I see him about every 3-5 weeks (which makes it hard being in Fresno). He knows that I don't want to depend on medications so I am on very little medications and more on supplements. Other than school and little work I lay in bed to restore my energy so I will be able to have painless or little pain days at some point in my life. The great thing about staying in bed all the time is I am forced to be a good student! Nothing to do other than homework. =-) I take each day at a time. There are still many side effects from fibromyalgia my body will still experience and weaken me that will put a battle in my life, but I am ready to tackle those when they come. I am using this time as a learning experience and a way to make me stronger. I have learned not to take the little things for granted, like I used to. The Lord has humbled me in more ways than I ever thought He could (after all He did give me a thick skull). After our house burnt down years ago I learned not to depend on stuff, and stuff is not important in life. I can be happy without. Now I am learning to be happy for the little things in life, the ability to walk to school still, or even get an education, visit with friends every once in awhile. I am thankful for my parents who have helped me through this and are a huge support and help. My friends and Bryan who love me and are there. I know one day through the Lord I will be able to have a normal day again without pain and suffering, and if not I will still have a smile on my face.

So yeah that is about it. I hope to write more now that I have more time on my hands!
