Welcome to the forum. It will be nice to see the pics.

As I'm always the pessimist, I hope it's not a blown head gasket or cracked block. That would cause both the running issue, and the overheating issue, and would be much more likely if you look in the radiator and see that it has just water in it.

Usually overheating issues are caused by a leak or stuck closed thermostat. My mind runs to the worst because of the multiple problems, and usually when one point of failure can cause all the noticed problems, that seems to be what it is normally.
