We did it!!!

Well folks we did it!! The whole 50 miles and boy oh boy was I pooped! Logan is such a pretty place to ride a little stinky in some areas, but overall a great ride. Nice and flat no big hills. There was a ton of ladies there too, I think over 3,000. My mom and I only saw one other tandem and it looked like a  mom and daughter team too, the best kind of team out there. I loved how quiet and calm it was while we were riding along, it was so comforting to hear all the birds chirping, a little breeze and sometimes a cow or horse would say hello to us as we rode by. This earth is so incredible. The last 7 to 5 miles I was dragging big time, my back started to tell me it was done and my legs weren't even saying anything because they hit their wall, but I was bound and determined to finish strong. These absolutely lovely people sliced a home grown watermelon and put it out on a table for anyone who passed and if that watermelon wasn't there I don't know if I would of been able to finish. Not sure if it was the most tasteful watermelon I have ever had or the little bit of rest time while I was eating it, but hey we finished and had a great time.


Before we all started.

If you haven't been out and been able to see how beautiful this land that we all live in, I would recommend you get it out there and explore!!

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 ...

Stinking Breathing Tube!!!! Actually they are out!!! YAYA

Anywho the stinking breathing tube is still in, which makes it more than miserable for Ashley. She is so frustrated, can't talk, can't get anyone to understand what she is trying to say.  It's difficult to see her suffer like she has. The Dr. just told us it's not all just up to her, her lungs may just be that full of fluid that the oxygen saturation may just be low. They have gotten lots of fluid off her which is helping and we are hoping later today will be the day. It's going to take getting that out to  get her up walking and making leaps and bounds of improvements. We are calling today day 2 post surgery, she was on bypass through the weekend which did not put her ahead any, she had fluid on board already from the first surgery so now the fluid has basically compounded. 8PM Update- Breathing tubes are out, still on oxygen, much less irritated, she has one of her favorite nurses on tonight and we think another one of her fav's  will be working wit...

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...
