over kill...

I could say wow, what a busy weekend, but honestly we didn't do much. But hey, we still had a great Labor day weekend.  My week was good no complaints at all, except I think I over did myself. So I told y'all that I played in my first soccer game 2 Saturdays ago. On Monday (not Labor day) I went out and kicked the ball around and did some sprints afterwards my ankles hurt slightly nothing to be aware. I went on with my week continued to exercise. On Wednesday I went to the gym in the morning and then in the evening I played tennis with my hubby. After that, my ankles hurt again. On Thursday I went on a walk with Wrigley and did an ab workout. On Friday after work I decided to go for another run. I started out just great I think my endurance is finally paying off. But then afterward my ankles were killing me, like I didn't finish my run because of these ankles of mine. So when I got home, I found a bucket and filled it up with water and ice and stuck my ankles in it. This is what I did. I increased the intensity of my workout a little bit too quick. Achilles tendinitis is what its called. Now I am stuck on the bike. When life gives you bumps and bruise what do you do. You gotta keep truckin along, someway somehow. I know I have said this in previous posts, but whatever you can do go out there and do it every single day. Because tomorrow who knows what it will bring? Something bad or something good. I always hope for good things, but you never know. Take a day of rest though. Oh and also don't pull an Ashley moment and over kill yourself, it takes time to get there. Patience.

If you haven't gone over Guardsmans Pass you should! I have lived in Salt Lake for pretty much my whole life and yesterday was my very first time. Man was it beautiful. Especially because all the leaves are changing on the trees. Steve and I agreed on, its a lot better way to go than up the canyon to Park City. If you haven't ever heard of Guardsmans Pass it this nice little road that connects Big Cottonwood Canyon to Park City, and I mean little road. It is closed during the winter time because of it's tiny road.

DASH4ASH is about a month away! Sign up and get your shirt order. This time the T-shirts are going to be rad trust me, you don't want to miss out. Also too, I'm going to be running in the race and would love to see you there.

Chalk It Up as a Miracle.........

Some of you may know, but Ashley went through another Heart Transplant yesterday. After her first first new heart started to fail, we re-listed on the her on the transplant list immediately. We knew getting another heart would be a long shot, but we wanted the option to be there if a heart came available. Sure enough 18 hours on the list a second heart came available that was a perfect match for Ashley. Ironically, it took 4.5 months and then 2 hearts in the same week. We, including the doctors, are all chalking it up as a miracle. It was decided not to wait to see if the first heart would handle the load she would need but rather to move forward with the new donor heart. Going through a transplant a second time makes you really feel for the family who lost their daughter, sister, spouse and friend. We are grateful again for the family and the individual who choose to give life. We were in quite a predicament and feel only divine intervention could have provided a means out. Ashley is

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 with her

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 s
