Heart4Ash (Skwig)

Words can not express how thankful I am for all who participated, donated, and showed their love  at the Dash4Ash 5k this past weekend. I am truly grateful I think my heart might have honestly grown a little more. Even Wrigley would like to say thank you! Things are still rollin right along. Had an incredible birthday with family and friends. It my golden year so I am hoping for my new heart to come here soon. No doc appointment this week HOORAY, INR is stable so next appointment is February 3rd.  Steve got me a gluten free cake at City Cake and Cafe and I was really excited to dig into it! Yes, it was very delicious!!

This message is for spontaneous and warm weather lover: If you register for the 5k walk/run before the 24th of January you will get a sweet t-shirt !!! It's NEVER too late! Spur of the moment vacation ... the best kind a vacation out there! Plus its gonna be nice outside up in the 60's.

Heres the scoop... There is going to be a 5k in St. George,  Ut  on the 24th of January this month!! Its called Dash4Ash and I think it is going to a lot of fun. There is going to be a raffle, corn dog and waffle truck, and lots more. You can also bring your pup along too! Heres how to register  https://runsignup.com/Race/UT/SaintGeorge/Dash4Ash Thanks to all that have put this together, especially Sabrina Higley and Megan Mathis. I am so very grateful for all the sponsors and everyone that has been a part of making this happen.   Nothing much has happened since last time, except a false alarm from the pager. Stupid pager battery was dead! I am very anxious for my new heart to arrive. I have kind of been down in the dumps lately it stinks being in limbo, but ya gotta do what you gotta do! Thanks for your prayers each and everyday . Honestly, it is very humbling to have all your support so thank you from the bottom of my huge heart ... literally :) Decide to go PLAT

Had another great check up appointment with my doctors on Tuesday. My INR is 1.9 a little on the lower side, but they didn't change anything with my coumadin  level because I have been having nose bleeds that have lasted for an hour or so, I think it's because the cold weather and dry air. You gotta love Utah air ;) The doctors told me if I get another nose bleed I am going to have to go see a ear nose throat doctor. Last night we went Walking with the Dinosaurs!! It was a blast even though we were basically the only ones without little ones. My favorite dinosaurs were the brachiosaurus that the one with the long neck and ankylosaurus  with the club for a tail. I still can't believe that the club weighs 150 lbs. CRAZY! Kate (sister in-law) and I made these sweet dinosaur hoodies, well mostly Kate did all I did was cut some stuff. So I forgot to mention that Lauren Roundy got married on December 30, 2014. Whoot whoot so dang happy for her and Brigder. Th

Yesterday marks a whole 33 days out of the hospital, basically an entire month!!! It is time to celebrate, so Happy New YEAR!! I am hoping this year brings me amazing things and also to learn more and to just live life to its fullest potential. My Resolutions: -Run a half marathon -Hike Mount Olympus and/or a really large one :) -Go Skiing with my dad in Canada -Love my husband a little more I am so very grateful and blessed for you all! My good friend Kim told me her little niece prayed for me a couple weeks ago saying, "Please bless Ki's friend to get better and for her to find a better heart." I honestly feel your prays big or small. Thank you very much. I hope that everyone can have a wonderful year filled of surprises and challenges. Happy New Year!!
