Gone too long!

It's been so crazy here lately! Where should I start!
I've been to Wichita several times this month and last, I was trying to get into a case study treatment for Chron's disease. I'm so thankful that Rion let me stay at his home during my visits! He's truly a great great friend. I'm sad to report that I didn't qualify for the study, I had a clonoscopy and the doctor found no evidence of Chron's. They believe it may be an infection on my female organs, which is what they though it could be back in September, but my OB/GYN said it couldn't have been. I'm never going back to her, especially if after my next appointment with another doctor confirms it. But the good news is I've stopped taking all but my birth control. Only one pill a day now, not the eight to nine plus Advil and Aleve for pain. The great news is I was able to eat a steak and hamburger for the first time, 5 months without beef was worse then anything for me. That steak, cooked medium well, never tasted so good! Best steak of my life.
I quit working at Mosaic, YMCA, and Walmart. I am now a Team Leader for Summitt ResCare of Kansas. I'm so happy and proud of myself. I love being in the medical field, and being able to help people is one of my greatest passions in life. I'm truly blessed to say that I love my job. Scott asked me the other night if I wasn't getting paid if I would still work there, and yes I would. I think it's the job and path that my life was meant to travel down. True sometimes it's difficult and frustrating, but what isn't. Life is supposed to have twists and turns, and looking at my life the lines have curved around so much it looks like it's scribbled on a piece of paper. But I don't think I'd want it to be a flat and plain. It makes me unique and complex to have experienced things and live life to my fullest potential. I live with no regrets, it's a promise I made to myself long ago, and I never break my promises.
Jason, Patty, Landon, and Cadan all came down for Memorial weekend. It was great to see my brother and his family. Since he lives in North Dakota it's hard to get up there to see him.
Leon, Misty, Austen, Andrew, Adam, and Abigail came up from Texas on Independence Weekend. Mom and dads anniversary is on July 4Th. It's great to see them, and I don't get to go down to see them as much as I'd like to. I still feel very close to Leon, since he is my full blood brother and I love him very much. Scott bought some fireworks and we went out to the lake to shoot them off on Friday night. We all went to the zoo that Saturday. Momma started to get sick and had to leave the group to sit down. She's been so sick lately. Been having to go the hospital everyday to get steroid shots to kill whatever is wrong. Her last injection was on Sunday, and she still doesn't feel every good, shakes and is extremely sleepy, but she looks a little better. She's a tough woman I'm sure she'll be okay. I'm also so, so proud of her, along with Weight Watchers she's managed to lose over 50 pounds! Keep up the good work, I couldn't be prouder of her! Dad has lost weight too as a result, and he's been working a lot lately, with harvest going on.
Scott's sister, lets just say has been less then pleased with me. She's one of those people that everything must go her way. I love her and her family, but the way she treats Scott makes it extremely hard to love. She was upset at my driving, tried to call the cops on me for wreck less driving, and get me and Scott arrested. She also threatened to call my employer to try and get me fired. I guess I'm glad that I've had the training and been working in my field long enough to know exactly how to handle when someone acts out in aggression. She wanted me to apologize for my actions, but I didn't, I didn't feel I had don't anything wrong, I still feel I've not done anything wrong. Giving in to any demands is the worse thing to do, and I didn't, by not apologizing. I truly feel that she can't stand to see Scott happy, and that saddens me. Why someone could hate and use their own brother like she does, I feel tears welling up in my eyes just thinking about it. I think the thing that hurt me the most was she told me Ann, Scott's mom, David, Scott's dad, and Brian, Scott's step dad, couldn't stand me and hated me. I know she said it in anger but I hope they don't hate me. I'm such a people pleaser and to think that someone hates me chills me to the bone. Scott said they don't, but still plagues my mind thinking about it. Scott says that I make him happy, and that he loves me, and that makes me feel better too. I love my brother so much, that I'd want to see him happy, even if it didn't make me happy with is choices. She took her children away from Scott, I know it hurts him not to be able to see or hug them, but I know her children will grow up to make up their own minds and I pray they would willing choose to be apart of our lives, because we'd want them in ours. Family is the most important part of a persons life, I don't know what I'd do without the love and respect of my family. I know I wouldn't be as strong of a person as I am without all of my family. Even my own sister, her and I haven't always gotten along as well as I'd like, but I still love her and her family whole heartedly.
I've been playing on a women's summer softball league, First American Title! It's Scott's mom's company, we'll she works there and is the big boss. We finished in 4th place, which mean we're going to state in Hutchinson. I'm so excited! I think Scott's going to try and get off to go with me. It'd be great to have him with me especially if we do great and win. The women on the team are great, I'm so thankful to Tiffany for talking me into playing, Trish, Scott's sister plays on the team with us too. I'm glad that she's mature enough to leave personal issues aside while we're playing. His birthday is on the 5th of August, so it'd be great to be able to do something together to celebrate him turning 24!
Well I think that's all for now, well all that I can remember. I'll try to keep in touch more often that I've been. Much love and God bless to all!
