Another week down, each week we all grow, learn, care, feel, and love. Every week that I am here is amazing. Even though sometimes the week isn't that interesting or overwhelming, but sometime a plain Jane week is what we need to think about how blessed and thankful we are to God.
This past week has been just that plain Jane. Everything is going great. Steve and I went to the temple Tuesday night. After going to do God's work there was a great feeling that overcame me, I felt like God was padding me on my back. Every once in a while everyone needs a little pick me up.

Today is my best friend birthday. She is my sister that came from another mother. We have always said that we are going to be these old women in our rocking chairs on our porch laughing about the past and yelling at kids. I am so proud of her, we have been through a lot and we were hinged at the hips the entire time. She is my go to when I can't take life anymore. She knows more than my mom, all the bad decisions and stupid things I have done. I first met her at church when Fred her dad brought her into Sunday school. I didn't like her that much at first, but she grew on me. So much we became partner's in crime throughout the years. I can't believe the stuff we pulled off and did as we grew up. I am grateful that no policeman wasn't around when doing the things we did with our friends. Many great and fun memories have been made and more to come :) Happy Birthday Scottie. You are my rock. You have become an amazing woman with your drive, determination and your on in a million personality. Love you just a wee bit.

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 hav...

say hello

. A normal, wonderful week I had. First off, I took out my stitches and it wasn't good. After they were all out the cut re-open, so I called my friend that's a physician assistant and she was a miracle worker. I shouldn't have taken out my stitches because where I cut my hand has so much tension a lot of the time. At first she put this dermabond  on it, which is basically like superficial stitches. That lasted 2 days, I was getting a little nervous because my skin around the cut was white and the opening of the cut was too far apart. Now I have steri -strips on it for it to heal a lot closer. Anyways, it is healing and this is not infections going on so I am happy. Left: stitches out  Right: dermabond My cousins were in town this weekend. We went up to Bell's Canyon to go hiking. They live down in Monticello, Utah, which is a town outside of Moab. It is always great to see them, My grandpa that passed around the same time my first transplant failed use to live...

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 ...
