What a busy 2 years it has been, getting married, moving house and many other of life's little journeys. It has been an interesting ride.
So where am I now 3 years from my last post...
I am a married lady and officially Mrs (Always) Wright, yes I know I found Mr. Wright and married him. Would you believe he used the Mr. Wright line on our second date. It must of worked.
Our wedding was amazing, I was really excited to become a bride and a wife. A few things did spoil the day, namely people in our lives, most trouble makers seemed to be on my side, I wonder if that says something about me!
It rained, however I loved that, supposedly a good omen. Plus my husband and I danced on the balcony by ourselves in the eve, just after it rained. I will always remember that special moment. Dancing in the puddles, slightly ruining my dress but not caring. Laughing with him whilst listening to the incredible band, that we won in a competition, perform.
One major thing troubled me was my weight. I had put on so much and at my heaviest I was 16st 9lbs (which I reached Christmas last year), but at 5ft 10" was a size 16. I knew that something was causing it, and I don't just mean stuffing my face with pizza. There was something more to it.
I just wish I had of been a little slimmer on our wedding day, but such is life.
Turns out being on Pregabalin, a medication for my Fibromyalgia was one of the causes. My personal experience of the drug is not a favourable one, I hated it, it made me so ill. I made the decision to come off it, however I couldn't do this until after our wedding in case of any withdrawal symptoms.
I also have recently been diagnosed with Bile Acid Malabsorption. Not a pretty illness/disability to have. However due to the fact my body wasn't processing fat and bile like a normal person it meant I was putting more weight on.
I also had a health scare to do with my brain, something the guys at Specsavers noticed. I had to sit in the eye hospital on 2 different occasions, for pretty much all day. Only for them to find nothing of significance, except a build up of calcium, something I would have had since birth, which is strange that they only just found it.
We decided to move out of Bristol last year. Our lovely, yet very hot and stuffy, flat had become somewhere we wanted to escape and not least because the Co-Operative below us has had 2 ram raids and some idiots blow up the cash point to nick the money! I know, never a dull moment.
We moved to the outskirts of Weston Super Mare. Our lovely 2 bed house, with a decent garden and garage is actually less in rent than the flat we left. It is so nice to have the space and freedom of a garden, despite the dogs next door constantly barking.
I am sadly still not working, I would dearly love to. However I know I will struggle a lot. From one day to the next, not knowing if I will actually be able to walk to the toilet or if I could get through a whole day no problem, yet knowing the next few days I would be in bed. Throw on top of that my BAM which is getting worse, lets just say I am thankful for the fact we have 3 toilets in our house, they get a lot of love.
As I sit typing this I am now at 14st, which I know is still big, however I am doing my best to shift it, so I am grateful to that. I am still crafting like mad, and have taken up many more different crafts, much to Mr. Wright's annoyance of there being so much craft 'crap' everywhere, yet it keeps me slightly saner.
I am hoping it doesn't take me another 3 years to write a post, I will do my best to write and let who ever is interested in my world.
