S'MORE family time

What a weekend!! My aunt, uncle and cousins came into town from Monticello, a small great town by Moab. It was great seeing them because it has been awhile since we have been all together. Since I can't travel over 2 hours away from the hospital for a couple more months I am very glad I got to see them and spent some time with 'em. I got to see the new Advengers movie with one of my cousins on Friday, way funny and good. I would go see it again, that good! On Saturday Steve and I went to breakfast with his sister, looked at some houses and then met up with everyone else and aunt Lo Lo to hit up some yard sales. That night we all went out for dinner, after the girls decided to do facials. The daughters did their mothers and then the mothers did the daughters. It was pretty fun and hilarious. Great memories and good laughs for sure. We took pictures, but we all look like we are dead, DEAD serious! Sunday the Monticello crew had to head back so Steve and I went to breakfast with them and then said our goodbyes :( They will be back in a couple weeks though!! Then we headed up to Steve's sister's house to help with yard work and pick up Steve's bike. Speaking about bikes, Steve got me this sick ace bike its a Stromer st1! Yes, it is an electric bike because my muscles are so deconditioned since I haven't been able to go far distance for forever, but now I can with a little help from the Stromer.


Sunday evening, my brother, girlfriend and D-man came over for Papa's huge burgers, fries and watermelon. For dessert we had S'MORES without the grahams though, but they were still mouth watering! I absolutely love spending time with my crazy family, we all have our corks and kinks that drive each other nuts, but when we get along now that is some good times and memories made! As I have gotten older family time has become something that I now cherish. My family has been my back bone through all that I have been through, yes, my heart problem, but they have been there from the beginning and to me this is something that is amazing. So thank you Papa for all the delicious food you have cooked me and for making sure its GF. Mama, thanks for being the shoulder I can cry on and be my true self. Brother, thanks for just being you and always there when I need you for all the little crazy stuff I randomly need. And Steve-o thanks for being my better half and making sure that I think before I act. I love you family! 


The art of s'moring is real serious stuff in my family.

quarantine = self reflection

I was talking with my lovely mother on Facetime this morning and she suggested to post on my blog. I look at my blog and noticed I haven't posted since November! So here you go, during this crazy time I am no longer working and my day to day tasks have shifted drastically. I am sure all of you know what is going on all over the world. I hope all of you are staying safe and healthy. I have been in this situation before. I was taken out of the game due to my heart, my life was soccer. Now my life was going to work and heading off to soccer practice, but COVID-19 has taken that away. I am reflecting on my response when my heart wasn't doing that well. At first I was frustrated and asking why? Now I am doing the same thing. WHY? Because I am HUMAN I know!!! This time I caught myself and decided to choose another route.  My alternate route has been getting outside every darn day, no matter the weather and enjoying the beauties of this earth, sun, clouds, rain, breeze, nature, the ...

boise

This past week was a wake up for our Wrigley. We had a dog trainer come over to our house and teach us how to break his habits of aggression towards other dogs and people. We learned how Wrigley communicates and when to give affections and praise and when not to. Now that we have the proper tools rather than the wrong ones. We are excited to help train Wrigley's behaviors into more friendly ones. This process is going to be long, but just like our surrogate process we are going to dive in and handle whatever is to come. With the surrogacy I have spoken to my parent's neighbor about being our attorney and she agreed to represent us.  This weekend we headed up to Boise. Steve and I have always liked the idea of Boise, so we went to go and checked out some places. We got these bikes at the hotel we were staying at for FREE and rode around downtown Boise. We had a blast riding around to all the places. On the way home, we stopped to see Idaho State women's soccer play. They be...

New Day, New Chapter, New....????

After the other days SHOCKing experience, I had to go into the clinic today to have my device interrogated.   Basically find out why I got shocked…. Was it warranted?? My device is set to SHOCK me if my heart gets beating too fast, like 180bpm or higher. Which I guess I excreted myself too much yesterday. This is a little bit upsetting, I was hardly up the trail and I got shocked. How am I supposed to do anything physical and not get shocked? Think about trying to exercise but also having to worry about a horse kicking you in the chest at any time.   Leaving the clinic I was pretty bummed… Is my heart just getting worse? Anyway, I went to work at straws and about an hour into work the clinic was calling me. I didn’t want to answer because I had a feeling my INR would be too low again and I would have to be admitted to the hospital. Anyway, I answered and Dr. Kia was on the line. He said “I heard you left upset from the clinic today?” I figured he was about to give me a pe...
