I am doing a little better health wise no more further liver damage but there are still days I look pale and feel awful. I cut a lot of foods out of my eating habits that were making me sick as well as eliminated people out of my life that were just so full of hate and negativity (also suggested by my doctors). As one doctor put it I need a no stress environment, a no bullshit zone as she puts it. It is detrimental to my health. Along with my primary doctor I also have a new set of doctors (specialist) and they are so much more skilled than the previous ones. When they don't know whats wrong they tell me, there is no ego there at all and I so respect that. They believe that my colon is my problem but only time will tell, so until then more test, my next appointment is I hope sometime between May and June 2012. My last appointment they did a CT scan on my tummy and I have not gotten any results back from that.

I am done with school... Yay!! Just recently found my creative side again thanks to a trip my hubby sent me and my daughter on, to New Mexico in February 2012 . While staying with my cousin (a known artist in the state) she introduced me to the old art of New Mexico tin work. Her art is just breath taking. I may never be as good as she is but I will surely try.

My Bocephous (on the left) will be leaving us again to foreign seas in a few weeks and will be back in half a year (2012). He has 2 more years then he can retire, YAY!!!. Time has gone buy so fast. I know he likes the work it is just the constant leaving he does not like. We have done lots of projects at the house. There are still some other things we would like to do. As always when we are done there will be photos on facebook for friends who would like to see. Our geeky toy house lol, I love it. My Boc just recently got me a new puppy we named him Gimli (dwarf from lord of the rings) he is super cute and a companion to keep me company while he is gone, as well as Willow our other puppy that has come into our lives this May 2012.

It's always hard when he is gone especially when things break. In the past I always had the help of my father even though he was blind all I had to do was call him and describe to him the issue and he could talk me through it. Now that my father is past away it is twice as hard because I don't have that wisdom or guidance I once had. I don't have any male support system, that makes boc worry. It is always comforting to know that if I need him boc is always an email away so I just have to sit back and be patient. So glad that he has had good mentors through the years that have taught him so much stuff. My boc has such a good heart like my dad and is always there to help anyone and to be a good friend to anyone. I wish him well and hope to see him soon. =)

The Bugling...

What can I say our baby girl has grown so much. She is now in 9th grade and is so full of life also very curious about things. Her passions right now are writing short stories, drawing as well as a love for reading books. Some of her favorites are Japanese Anime. Her main focus lately has been to go to college. A goal I am proud to say that she will accomplish thanks to her dad, her college is paid for, YAY!!! She is currently pulling an A/B average and has signed up for advance placement classes for college, we are so proud of her. We just recently put our bug on the insurance since Bocephous will most likely be gone when she starts driving all I have to do is activate it. We also have purchased a third car cause we know she will need one soon. As always we could not be happier.
