I am loving the cooler weather, prity colors and pumpkin everything:) I just love this time of year. I love the warm(not hot) days and cool nights. It is a great time of the year.
We have been busy busy lately. We are trying to get a home loan. Yes we are officially trying to get our own home and finding a place to truly call home. It is going to take a miracle to get a good loan and find a place in our price range. Oregon is CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY out of control on housing prices. But miracles happen everyday right?!?!?!?:) so we should know if we qualify in next couple weeks.
Even more exciting right now is My sister in-law is coming to visit:) She will be here Thursday. We have not seen her since we moved away 8 years ago. 8 years....toooooooo long!!!! So we are trying to get house all ready and we are trying to get all plans made. We have a ton of fun planned for her. show her what Oregon has to offer:) Just sooo darn excited if you can't tell:)
On the hard. Our golden retriever Bear had to gran mal seizures couple weeks ago:( SUPER SUPER sad. We took him to vet and did everything but MRI and all was well. He has been good since so we are praying just a random thing or he got something we didn't know about. Love our old man. So we just keep praying for him stay healthy and happy.
Hope y'all having an awesome fall so far!!!

This Darn Brain
The most frustrating about all my health issues is my brain issues. I have a horrible brain fog all the time, my memory is non-existent, and I get confused and lost A LOT!!! It is not only frustrating but scary and embarrassing:(
I can remember a minute later if I take my medicine, I can't remember if I fed the pets, etc. So I have to write EVERYTHING down and I have a calendar to check off when I give pets meds and me meds. I have notes EVERYWHERE!!
It is scary when I can't remember those things, or when I can't remember peoples names and I don't mean someone I have met a few times but people in my immediate family, when I can't remember where I am going, when I pass the road to work I take everyday and don't notice for 10 minutes.
It is embarrassing that I know what I want to say and can't get it to come out, or know a more professional way of saying or writing something and it won't come out:(
The more I read on Lymes the scarier it is. These things I am facing can be severely debilitating and deadly:( I am living a VERY limited life at this point and don't want to do that anymore but even more than that I want to live a long life and grow old with m husband. I want to beat all this. I want to put these diseases into remission. Even better than that I want to see a cure for these HORRIBLE, CRIPPLING, LIFE STEALING DISEASES!!!
I have been diagnoses with Hashimotos, SIBO, MTHFR, Tualremia, and probability of lymes. One of these diseases alone is overwhelming and hard to beat. but all of them is VERY overwhelming and scary. I am on sooooooo many antibiotics, supplements, probiotics, etc. It is all hard to deal with.
I am trying to be strong, and positive but I will be honest as y'all know from the past years it is hard. But when you are in physical pain all day everyday, when you are dizzy, nauseousness, etc y;all know how hard that would be. But even more with this comes anxiety, depression and worry, worry, worry. I am fighting, fighting, fighting!!! I am researching, learning and doing the best I can. This is something I want to beat!!! something I want to help others beat!! I WANT MY LIFE BACK!!! I want to be the best person I can, the best wife I can, the best friend and relative I can and I know I can't be that when I am this sick!
Thank you to all of those who pray, and send me notes to check up on me. It MEANS MORE than y'all could ever know!!!

Seizures SUCK!!!
So last Wednesday night I was laying on the couch and our golden Bear was laying on the other couch. All the sudden he woke up and had a severe grand mal seizure:( He has never had one before:( It broke my heart to see him have that violent seizure. I just talked to him calm, made the room quiet and put all the other animals out of the room. It lasted about 4-5 minutes but then it took him about 2 hours to be completely back mentally. We took him into the vet and did xrays and blood work and they didn't find anything out of the ordinary. but with him being 10 years old it could be likely to have a brain lesion or brain tumor:( But to find that out would be MRI or CT and would be few thousand dollars. It may just be a random thing and it may be epilepsy:( But again yesterday AM he had another:( It was only about 2 1/2 minutes so at least it was shorter but it still very violent and it makes his whole body soooo sore:(
We are sooooo broken about this. We want to do what is best for him. We are not ready to be without our Bear:( I know they can live with Epilepsy but it is just the not knowing for sure what is causing them:( We just can't afford the neurologists for a few thousand dollars:( Between me and Bear we are a health mess:( We are praying for them to stop and we are hoping it could be a random thing, or as vet said he may have a blood clot that breakin loose. But just praying for him. We want him to be happy and healthy and will do as much as we possibly can!
So we would appreciate ANY prayers that y'all could send our way! We need prayers for health in this house! For Bear to be better. He is only 10 and other than the seizures he is in amazing health. Thank you for all thoughts and prayers, we appreciate it more than you could ever know!!!

A Fun Project
I hated our current tv stand as it didn't match our decor, and it was incredibly hard to keep clean with all my animals:) I wanted something with character and something we could redo our own way:) We still need to make the drawer pulls but it is mostly done. Here is the before and afters:)
It is prity old. The lady we bought it from said it was her great grandmas. So we love that it has some history:)
It is a little darker than it looks in pictured. And since we didn't use the top drawer my husband is so cute he wants to use the drawer front and make a cute sign or something to give back to the lady we bought the stand from so she still has something from her great grandmas dresser:)
