My Beginnings

Well, life has thrown all of us a twist once in awhile, but sometimes others get handed a difficult hand. I wish there were easier ways to live life, but day by day seems to be the best. Joe and I have been busy with school, and let me tell you, it has been work. Joe goes to class one day a week and I am all on-line, but I really think I need structure and I'm not good at setting that up for myself. Work has been busier than needed, but it's what is keeping me intouch with everything else.

Healthwise, things are going in a different direction than I'd like to go, but I'm along for the ride now. Joe and I are going to the gym three to four days a week, and I'm learning how to swim at the ripe old age of 28! But it's fun. I'm at 35 pounds lost so far, yeah me, and I have about 15 more to go. So I can actually say I'm a little lighter in my boots! But on the other side, things could be better. As we all go in for our yearly pap's, last year was odd. It came back abnormal and since then I've been doing in for them every 5-6 months to monitor everything. I have had two biopsy's of my cervix, both of which have come back with mild to moderate changes, potentially and more than likely cancerous. They are continueing to do studies to see what is going on, but yet haven't figured out what it is. As for now, I have another appointment here in two weeks, another biopsy and possible taring of the cervix. We'll see. All I have to say is give me some good drugs and I'll just have to live with it.

So, as we go on with out daily lives, I am wondering what to do. So many of my friends are pregnant now, but as Joe and I say this is not the time for children. I know that, but I really want them. I know "they'll change your life" but sometimes we have to expereince that for ourselves to actually get that full meaning or that statement. So, we'll wait and see what else life is going to throw at us!
