At the Park
We have a great park about a 1/2 mile away from our house that Callie just loves. We try to go often, especially lately with this great weather!

BlogPress
I just downloaded BlogPress on my phone and I'm so excited about it. I take TONS of pictures on my phone and this is so convenient to post about them! Even though they'll be short and sweet, I'll be posting more it seems!

So, I usually don’t post stuff about me but I wanted to share what’s been going on these past two months. I was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. Sounds funny and awful, but basically it’s a thyroid disorder. The body’s immune cells mistakenly attack the thyroid gland, damaging thyroid cells and the gland’s ability to produce thyroid hormones. Having had a thyroid problem for 3 years now, I’m SO happy to finally have an answer of WHY I have had the problem! But how I’ve come to find this out has been a trying journey these past couple of months. It all came to a head on Valentines day, I felt terrible. So bad in fact I thought I was pregnant, seriously. I called my OBGYN office to get a test done, I had to know ASAP, and while they did the test they did a thyroid test to see how that was doing. Well the pregnancy test was negative (thank goodness) but thyroid was off. When I say off, way off, so much so we thought it could have been a lab error (normal TSH level is a 5-7, mine was 131). Well, it wasn’t and I was immediately placed back on my medicine. Now after three weeks of being on medication, I’m feeling back to my regular self. It takes a while for the symptoms (your thyroid controls the way your body uses energy, which effects basically every part of your body) to fully show themselves, and it has taken a while for them to subside. I’m SO ready to get “me” back, I can’t even explain it! I’ll continue to have blood work done every four weeks for a while while we figure out what hormone level I need. Sorry to everyone I haven’t talked with lately because I’ve been in the “funk”, I promise I haven’t forgotten or don’t care! Everyday gets a little better and I’m so thankful for that, I’ll be back to “myself” in no time!!! YAY
Backyard Makeover
Our backyard has been in need of a makeover for a while now, and we recently decided to get going on it! I’m almost too embarrassed to show the before pics, but to get a good feel of where we started, I figured I needed to show it.
