No longer MIA

I can't believe so much has happened in such a short amount of time.  My big boy is almost 2 1/2 years old and my baby is 5 months old!  Times flies.  I can't believe it!

Jaren is almost done with his internship and we are house-hunting in/around Fort Collins.  We haven't had a lot of luck so far, but I have faith that we will find something that will meet our needs.

As selfish as this may sound, I want to mainly talk about myself right now.  I suffered a severe concussion 5 years ago.  Since then so many amazing things have happened.  I met a wonderful man, I married him.  We now have two beautiful boys and dreams of more children.   Though some of the best times have been within these past 5 years, it has not always been easy.

After my concussion, anxiety filled my life.  Weight issues began and have not stopped being a problem, even to this day.  I lost my Mom in July, 2009.  That's when the depression came in and the anxiety got worse.  I was having near-daily migraines that stopped me from many daily activities.  I felt like I was lazy, which honestly made things worse!  My lack of self-esteem has grown to new levels and some days I can't stand to look at myself or listen to my own thoughts.

Luckily, things are changing.  I am now getting treated with upper cervical chiropractic care.  My nervous system is starting to function properly again.  After my concussion, my neck was out of place and it was causing all of these health problems.

After only a few weeks, I have more energy and I am feeling better.  I am so happy that I am feeling like myself again.  I am loving the smile on my face again.  I am glad that I am getting dressed and taking care of myself every day again.  I am finding myself again and I am so glad to say how happy I am again!
