Decisions, Decisions...(and health update.)

I never really realized how stressful moving is until now. I'm used to having a massive closet that seems endless and now I'm going to a much smaller one. BUT! all 7 of my boxes are packed and ready to be shipped in the morning and I could not be more relieved! Sadly I know this is going to become a yearly thing for school and next summer will be even more stressful as I plan to study abroad! Moving is now about a week out and I'm excited but  slightly sad at the same time. For the first time ever I wont be around family on my birthday which makes me sad but I know I'm going to make some great friends at Pepperdine! I go on leave from my job at Market Street on Tuesday, with my last shift being on Monday. I've made a lot of great friends there and I'm sad to leave but don't worry guys, I'll be back for Christmas!:) This next week is going to be crazy saying see you later to friends and finishing packing but I could not be more excited to move to Malibu! I hate the heat and the cold so Malibu is the perfect place for me. haha!

Today, I also recieved a call from my doctor about some tests I had run earlier this week. As many of you know this last year has been very stressful with my health issues. For those of you who aren't aware, my current diagnosis is Hashimoto's Thyroiditis,which is an autoimmune disease based in the Thyroid. I currently am hyperthyroid which means I am producing too much Thyroxine. I've been on medicine for the last year and as of Tuesday  I began to show very slight improvement as my goiter has shrunk a minimal amount. Back in December, I was also diagnosed with Anemia. I had a Iron Injection in may and as of early July i am no longer anemic, Praise the Lord! However, they aren't sure what caused me to become anemic, so i had a test for Celiac disease on Tuesday and I am happy to report that the test came back negative. I am also awaiting the results of a test I had done for Cushing's disease(I will give an update when I find out.) Migraines have also been diagnosed so i now have medicine for when I get one which is wonderful! I would  greatly appreciate prayers for my health and upcoming move and that I would always be Salt and Light to the people i encounter!
