New House!!


Well Joe has put a contract on a new house in Providence Village (Near Denton) and we are so excited to begin our life together there as Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Cross! I have someone who is ready to lease my house starting March 1st so hopefully closing will go has planned! The new house is beautiful and backs up to a greenbelt full of beautiful, big trees! It has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a gameroom and a study. We definitely plan on being there for a long time! We love the neighborhood...it reminds us of Wisteria Lane :) Please say a prayer that everything will go as planned...I've attached some pictures and a link to Providence Village's website! http://www.providencetx.com/at_home_sub.htm

Narcolepsy

I recently got my test results back and found out that along with my migraines, hormone problems, and vitamin deficienies, I have Narcolepsy. This can explain why I'm so tired all of the time. The neurologist has put me on a stimulant to help with daytime sleepiness. The vitamin B-12 shots are also helping a lot. Here is some information about narcolepsy that I got off webmd.com:

Narcolepsy
Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder that affects the control of sleep and wakefulness. People with narcolepsy experience excessive daytime sleepiness and intermittent, uncontrollable episodes of falling asleep during the daytime. These sudden sleep attacks may occur during any type of activity at any time of the day.
In a typical sleep cycle, we initially enter the early stages of sleep followed by deeper sleep stages and ultimately (after about 90 minutes) rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. For people suffering from narcolepsy, REM sleep occurs almost immediately in the sleep cycle as well as periodically during the waking hours. It is in REM sleep that we can experience dreams and muscle paralysis which explains some of the symptoms of narcolepsy.
Narcolepsy usually begins between the ages of 15 and 25, but it can become apparent at any age. In many cases, narcolepsy is undiagnosed and, therefore, untreated.

Thanks for your prayers and support...At least I am finding answers....
