A Tribute to Women

The Diagnosis

Back in March it had been 2.5 years since I had had a period.  I was on the pill until November 9th, 2012 and after that lost about 25 pounds as well as my monthly visitor.  I saw a gynocologist a year after that and she told me I was very thin and should put on more weight.  At the time, I was an avid runner and ate a little too healthy.  I wasn't trying to be too thin, I just enjoyed my lifestyle at the time.  This past March, I went to a gynocologist in Novi and he said it could be the fact that I was underweight or PCOS.  PCOS stands for polycystic ovarian syndrome.  Ofcourse I googled the shit out of it just to see what I could have.  After reading several articles, I had decided I didn't have it and probably just needed to put on some pounds.  A few weeks later I got a call saying I did have it.  PCOS is a tricky diagnosis because you can have all or some symptoms.  The only ones I had were that I was not ovulating and my hormone levels were off.  The good thing with PCOS

New Beginnings

After ten amazing years with the love of my life, at 30 and 32, we finally said our vows and made that lifelong comittment that already existed.  Our wedding day was everything we had hoped for and more.  The love between us as well as our loved ones was evident throughoiut the day and I will always cherish the memories made.  Our honeymoon continued our blissful state.  We drove to Holland, MI and then to Chicago and explored our favorite windy city.  Our life since then has been such a blessing.  After being together for ten years, I didn't know if being married would change anything.  I always knew I would love him forever and that this was it.  So to me, why would anything change after we sign a piece of paper?  It still amazes me how wrong I was.  Tim as a boyfriend and then fiance was always so sweet, affectionate, compelling, intelligent, and he challenged me to be a better person.  Tim as my husband is still all of those things and more.  It is difficult to put into words,
