Great Blessings

I know I posted Monday, but I just had a few things to post today. First of all, I want to say how wonderful it's been since I started buying Bountiful Baskets. I'm getting my family to eat a lot more fruits and vegetables. It's even what Branden snacks on. He's lost 10 pound in a month and I'm so proud of him! He's been trying really hard and I need to do that as well. I'm trying to help him any way I can.

Braxten finished soccer this week and I'm so excited about that! He has 4 more t-ball games and 14 days of school left. He is out this week for Kindergarten Testing. He is such an amazing kid. He is usually willing to help out and such a Mommy's Boy. If I'm not going somewhere with Branden, he won't. I'm trying to get them to do a few things together, we'll see if it works out.

I've had a few trials this week, but nothing I can't handle. I donated blood on Thursday. I've donated at least 10 times before and never had a problem. I sat down, ate my cookies, and drank my juice. One of my friends was donating, so I went and talked to her. I was standing for 3-4 minutes when I got light headed and all of a sudden couldn't hear anything. I sat down and we continued visiting. I guess I was really pale. They had me take more treats on my way out and I made it home. I've been sick ever since. Who knows what's going on? Branden had a physical for scouts, so I asked the doctor while we were in there and he said it can last a few days. I hope that it goes away soon! This week is the end of my second series of pills and I can't decide if I'm ready for another test, but ready or not here it comes!

I do have to post about some of the wonderful people I've met here. I want to thank Abbie for inviting me to play softball and always being my friend. She is there to rescue me in Primary and just always have a listening ear. Crystal P. has been great to get to know me. She listens and laughs with me. She's always inviting me to do different things and we're going out this week. I have so many other wonderful friends that this post would go on forever, but I will list their names. Thanks also to Alicia S., Lynette, Lisa H., Megan J., Megan T., Jesse, Susan, Cheryl, Jaylene, and Tasha. All are special for different reasons. I also have a new friend named Julia that also has PCOS and has gotten me to open up far more than I ever expected. I've talked about feelings I didn't know I had and it helped to relieve a lot of pent up feelings. She understands me and lets me know she has been and is still going through the same things. She is amazing and so are all these other wonderful women.
