Well I'm not quite sure how it has gotten to be October 24th already! midterms are all over for me... now it's time to get ahead and make sure my grades are up. It's interesting here in Idaho how the social culture is so important on campus and yes, i do get my fair share of it but i believe I'm getting better at balancing my life. Well, my life has not been the same this semester as the last two.  I admit, It's been quite difficult with my RA, but honestly i can say i am happy....i am happy. The lord has opened my eyes to see the simple miracles and blessings in my life each day.  I've began my long process of actually accepting this disease with an open mind and heart. It's been a slow process to get where i am now, but I've past that bridge and hopefully wont go  back. I'm moving on in my life, finding new ways to enjoy life. I'm excited to save enough to get a camera so that i can show my unskilled abilities to cook my fun food.

      It's always a challenge to get myself started, but when i put my head to something there's no stopping me!!   But it's always nice to get a friendly push here and there.... right now  my wonderful brother Ben is helping me go swimming in the morning for exercising my joints... we are going every tuesday and thursday @730 am...boy! i havn't gotten up that early in a while (usually 8 or 9)..shows how lazy i have been.
      In short  this blog is turning into an arthritis blog...for me and those who want to understand more of a RA woman's life. haha it's honestly for my benefit to keep records for myself.
