I saw the endochrinologist yesterday, and although I went in hoping to leave with answers, I walked out with more questions, more fears, and more worries about my health.

The question I most often get asked by civilian people is: "Is basic training just like the movies?" In short, yes it is. Then...

Like most couples, Mark and I went out for Valentine's day. But this one holds special meaning for us. It is the first one we've been able to celebrate together in years, and our last for a little while.

I was silly to let someone else tell me that I was never going to be good enough.

Today, I'm headed to the doctor to figure out what's going on with my thyroid. And I'm nervous, really nervous.
