Why is it this way?

For a while now, my stomach area has been really aggravating me. I saw the doctor in January and had blood work done and an ultrasound done to check out my stomach, kidneys, etc. Everything came back okay and nothing seemed to be wrong. They gave me Prevacid to take. I've been taking it ever since, and still having uncomfortable burning pains from my chest, down. Today, I went back to the doctor and told her that my problems were still occurring. She gave me a another prescription to take when my stomach (or whatever it is) is having spasms. We'll see how all that works out.

On Saturday, I'm having a CT scan done. Then going to a GI doctor sometime next week or the week after. After talking to my mom, I'm thinking I could have Celiac Disease. Celiac disease is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. People who have celiac disease can't tolerate gluten, which is in wheat - bread, pasta, etc... everything I love! Why I'm thinking this may be the problem, is because I taught a boy 2 years who was 4 years old and he had this disease. His stomach was really big for a kid, and it wasn't just "baby fat." After doctors found out his problem, and put him on a gluten-free diet, his stomach went completely back to normal.

With this said, I'm going to mention it to Wake Radiology on Saturday when I go in for my CT scan. Please just keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I feel fat and I hate feeling this way. Everyone around me says "you look fine" etc, but I just don't feel that way at all...I really want to get all of this solved, because it's kinda been irritating me and stressing me out recently.

i love you this big

I am a HUGE Scotty McCreery fan and it's not just because he is from my hometown, but because of his FAITH in our Lord & Savior!! Kendall's mom and I went to every Scotty Viewing Party at either the Garner Historic Auditorium or over at Scotty's HS, Garner Senior, to cheer on Scotty with all the other fans. It was a great time and I'm so glad I got to share my happiness with others! :) The American Idol FINALE was crazy! I was at the RBC center with 8,000+ fans cheering Scotty on to win. When he won, the place erupted in loudness. It was an amazing feeling!! Yes, Scotty won "IDOL", but what makes me the happiest is knowing that he has witnessed to millions of people all over the globe. He stands true to what he believes and isn't afraid to show it!! Way to go, Scotty! You make us proud! :)

His first single, "I Love You This Big" is awesome and I love the fact that he says this song can be interpreted in so many ways, including how Jesus died on the cross for us and he loves us so much!! Here are the lyrics to the song. :)

I know I'm still young
But, I know how I feel
I might not have too much experience
But, I know when love is real.

By the way my heart starts pounding
When I look into your eyes
I might look a little silly
Standing with my arms stretched open wide.

I love you this big
Eyes have never seen... this big
No-one's ever dreamed... this big
And I'll spend the rest of my life
Explaining what words cannot describe but, I'll try
I love you this big

I'll love you to the moon and back
I'll love you all the time
Deeper than the ocean
And higher than the pines.

Cause girl, you do something to me
Deep down in my heart
I know I look a little crazy
Standing with my arms stretched all apart.

I love you this big
Eyes have never seen... this big
No-one's ever dreamed... this big
And I'll spend the rest of my life
Explaining what words cannot describe but, I'll try
I love you this big

So much bigger than I ever dreamed my heart ever would
I love you this big
And I'd write your name in stars across the sky
If I could, I would

I love you this big
Oh, eyes have never seen... this big
No-one's ever dreamed... this big
And I'll spend the rest of my life
Explaining what words cannot describe but, I'll try
I love you this big

I love you this big
Oh, eyes have never seen... this big
No-one's ever dreamed... this big
And I'll spend the rest of my life
Explaining what words cannot describe but, I'll try
I love you this big
