It's not all in my head!

So as I may have expressed in my prior blogs how incredibly tired I am all the time. And how my Dr. thought I may be fighting depression. Well it turns out I have a Underactive Thyriod disorder. Some thyroids prefer to be called "less" active. The main symptoms are sluggishness, or exhaustion. Depression or mental exhaustion. Along with other physical symptoms. Wow did that descibe me the last few months. I thought I was maybe pregnant or going crazy. I'm so glad it is something so easy to remedy! And that I found out what it was before all my hair fell out. I am now on a Thyroid replacement meds. And in 4 to 6 weeks I should start to feel improvement. I can't wait because as of present time I feel like crap. It is terrible how your mind and the advisary will bring you down. When you feel yucky most of the time you start to tell yourself some very self defeating messages. "I'm fat and lazy. I'm a terrible mom who is always grumpy." The list goes on and on. I hope as I get better this list will get smaller. I will keep a blog of my progress.

I must write some of our other happenings in our Family. About two weeks ago the Sacramento temple was dedicated. It was a busy weekend for most mormons in this area. The saturday night before we got to go to the Youth temple celebration at arco arena. Haley was able to come along and we were all blessed to see the Prophet and hear him speak. It was awesome! When Pres. Hinckley came out all the youth stood up and clapped and shouted for him. It was wierd but cool to be shouting for the prophet.
Then on sunday we went to the dedication. Monty was able to sing with the temple choir for the forth session. He was right behind President Hinckley's seat. He said he could read his notes in his folder. It was a beautiful dedication and we were very filled with the spirit. After the dedication me and Haley found Monty and he greeted us with a hug and tears in his eyes. He was very overwhelmed with emotion being in the the temple standing next to a Prophet of God. Next we went to the front of the temple and waited for the Prophet to come out to say goodbye. There were lots of people waitng. I had Haley wiggle her way up to the front so she could see. As he came out everyone sang "We thank thee oh God for a Prophet." He waved his cane in the air and smiled. Then His counselore Pres. Monson came out and apostle Tom L. Perry. Elder Perry crossed the street and came and shook Haley's hand. She said he was a nice man. What a neat moment for her. It was a sweet time for all of us.
Well I must go and have a tea party with whitney!
