Hashi-What?!?

OK, so it's been a heck of a long time since I updated last, but back in one of my first few posts, I mentioned something about Thyroid Disease. Well, I went to the endocrinologist about a month ago to have my thyroid levels checked and it turns out I have hypothyroidism caused by an autoimmune disease called Hashimoto's.. Basically, my body is producing antibodies that are attacking my thyroid, not allowing it to work properly. This means that I get to take a little pill everyday until forever. Hopefully this also means that within the next 6 weeks or so my weight will at least start to get back to a more normal number so that I am not so discouraged with my diet and exercise routine..

While I am here, I figured that I would continue with The List as well. As usual, I am skipping around, so this time I am doing number 22: Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years? 15 years?

5  years: Age 28

In five years, I hope to be living somewhere besides where I currently live (perhaps by the beach somewhere?!?). I will love my job as a teacher and I will be in happily married to someone who is talk, dark, and handsome (with a successful job).  Perhaps even have a little one. Oh, and have a "new" car. 

10 years: Age 33

First off, I would have had one heck of a 30th birthday party! I will still be teaching and married to my TD&H man. By now, I will have a couple of little ones and that new car has been traded for a Mommy vehicle (SUV, not van). We have a nice house with some land for the little ones to play. 

15 years: Age 38

By now, I hope that I have visited a couple of the places on my traveling list (Paris, Greece, Italy, Spain, and so on). I am still enjoying being a teacher and will be attending my 20-year HS reunion with my TD&H husband. Our kids are growing up too fast and we are enjoying every minute with them. 

I hope you have enjoyed time traveling into the future with me. Goodnight. :)
