update...

It's been unusually busy with work, work and work...it's non-stop!!! Yet, I still have so much more to catch up on. I've become more forgetful than ever and it's caused some problems. yikes...maybe I'm just rusty or unorganized or probably just got alot going on the past month! :D I am still blessed despite everything!

So here are some updates of the past couple of weeks!

1.Since I last wrote, I left off with the diagnosis of my thyroid situation. I'm taking Synthroid for my hypothyroidism/goiter problem. It really explains alot of what's been going on with my health.

2. Beans, Olga's dog, stayed with me all last week and it was alot of fun having her around. Since fall started, taking her out for walks at night was really relaxing.

3.Well, school is almost starting, however I come to find out that the university only supports PC/windows..uh, hello...what about those of us that have mac books...why do they always leave us out? (lol!) I guess I will have to do some of the studying at work on the Dell comp. Hopefully, they'll develop software that is mac compatible REALLY SOON.

4. This weekend was a 3-day weekend for me due to Fair Day for my district. It was very much needed! I got alot of things done including dying my hair back to one color. I had to buy a hair-color remover to remove my blonde highlights and the color I wanted to retint it with. As soon as, I rinsed out all of the color remover and dried it...I looked like the bride of frankenstein...I had 3 colors in my hair....my natural hair color, the color from spring 2006 and my highlights became frost! LOL! Of course, I retinted my hair with my natural hair color shade and ta-da...I was done! I was happy with the results and boy may i say that I was a little nervous about the whole thing, but it worked out! So, my hair is back to one color! WOO-HOO!!! :D

I hope all is well with everyone!
Love ya'll!!!

The Results are in!!!!!

My biopsy results came out well! My nodule is not cancerous!!!! I will be given medication for it on Monday.

I am SO Thrilled!!!! Praise GOD!!!! He promised healing and He kept! I am so thankful for His faithfulness!!!

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers!!! Without them, this would not have happened!!! :D

Love ya'll!!!
Laura :D

Today...

I went to the doctor for my biopsy. All went well, but I am a little sore...which is normal. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. I will find out the results of the biopsy in 2 to 3 days!

Have a great week!

BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!

Guess what??!!!! I am going back to school!!!! GRADUATE SCHOOL!!! My district is offering an opportunity for teachers to get their master's degree through Lamar University. It's an 18 month program that offers degrees in two areas: M. ED. in Teacher Leadership or M. ED. in School Administration. Of course, I am choosing the Teacher Leadership program because I know it will be very beneficial for me in the classroom. Above all...the best thing about it....MY DISTRICT PAYS FOR IT ALL!!!! :0) Many of my fellow colleagues are going to begin the program as well, so it will be really nice to have some study buddies.

I know I was close to going to Christ For The Nations Institute, but I am positive I will go when I finish my master's program. All in God's timing I say!!!
As you can tell, I am super excited. I am positively sure this is the right door for me to walk through!!! My first day is November 12!!! YAY!!!!!!!!

Love ya'll and God Bless!!!

Doc's Appointment

I left work as soon as the bell rang this afternoon to make it to my endocrinologist appt. My nodule was checked and went through a sonogram. The doc told me that is was rather big and needs to be investigated. Next Wednesday, I have a biopsy or "bob-bopsy" (lol! only My Big Fat Greek Wedding Fans will get it). Continue to pray for me, please. I know all the necessary measures will be taken and I am only a step closer to making myself better..:0)
have a great day!
Laura

Tomorrow

I am finally going to see the endocrinologist tomorrow about my thyroid nodule. Keep me in your prayers. I don't know what to expect, but I am sure it will all be ok. I'm actually excited about taking care of it. This means I am a step closer to healing..woo-hoo!!! :0)
Have a great week!!! :0)

It's Smurf-tastic!!!!
