Hello there to all our family and friends. This is our first blog and we are excited to join all you bloggers out there! Since this is the first post, I thought I would just give a quick summary of our life right now. Roberto and I are currently in Rexburg, Idaho where we are both attending BYU-Idaho. This time of year we are off from school, so Roberto is working, doing landscaping and taking two night classes and I am looking for a job. We have been married for a little over a year and we are loving every moment together. Looking for a job in Rexburg has been tough (I've been looking since July), but in the mean time it has been a great opportunity for me to learn and grow from those around me. Recently I was able to find a temporary position for someone handing out flyers for their new website. Their paying me $50 bucks to do it! So I'm glad it's something. Other than that, I usually visit other people who are home all day, so if you want company, let me know! :) Roberto...
Hello! It has been a very long time, hasn't it? Well, I have had lots of time to think, lots of time to learn and to mature in my life. The last entry that I wrote, I was still coming off of the high, manic state that I was in. I had been put on an anti psychotic medication and about a month later, the high wore off and the depression settled back in. It began with thoughts like, "I don't feel at home here." We had lived in our new house for about a month. I had not mentally prepared for this move since the decision had been made while I was in the mental hospital. Roberto felt very strongly that moving was the best thing for us at the time and so, we did. Several people had mentioned to Roberto that getting a job might benefit me. Since we have been married and had Samuel, I dedicated my time at home with him. I had no plans of working outside of the home after having Abram. So when he approached me about getting a job, I became anxious and even though I ...
Hey there! Its been a long time again since I have written on this family blog. Now that I think of it, this blog has become a type of a personal journal for me, and it makes sense, since I am the one writing on this blog, and I think that's ok. So the last time I wrote, I was actually going through another manic episode...it had become clear that I was definitely Bipolar. The difference this time was that I was pregnant with our third child and it was a girl! We were so excited, especially since this pregnancy occurred naturally. I was hospitalized for a week or so, and it was brutal. It was a very trying time for our family. I am very grateful to say that we made it through. Today my daily routine includes taking lithium and abilify in order to manage my Bipolar disorder. I'm happy to report that I haven't had an episode since being put on medication. It's been great!
