First week in Boise had its up and down. I saw that Steve already filled you in on how hectic things were last week and how I was way more worried about my new job than being able to sit down and think about my past week so grateful I am for my better half. My new job is going alright, it is very laid back and we have some fun. I am going to continue to grow my knowledge with all the new opportunities with this job. We are all settled in our little house just have a couple more things to make it home for now. I came home after work on Wednesday and Steve had got everything moved in, he even put together our new couch/bed. Pretty awesome man I have. At the beginning of this week I was so stressed and every day all my stress has been relieved by his actions and him just being him. Steve always knows what I need to calm down and get back into the game of things. Thursday afternoon I get a text from Steve saying, "You got hot yoga at 7:15 tonight." I have never done hot yoga be

Ashley has had too much on her plate this past weekend so I (husband) have decided to update you this week. Ashley and I have decided to take our adventure to Boise, ID. We have always loved Boise and knew someday we would try it out, but honestly didn't think it would be this soon. So this weekend we packed our bags and left our home in Salt Lake City. It may be foolish, but we decided to try the new crave these days.... TINY HOUSE LIVING. The best part about this type of living is we were able to pack everything we need, including our new couch-sleeper combo into both of our cars, no U-haul, no trailer just me in the Mini Cooper and Ashley, Wrigley in the Landcruiser. Driving to Boise on Saturday was pretty exciting and the scenery was beautiful. The plan was to get unpacked and settle before Ashley went to work on Monday. Let's just say that didn't happen, our shack (tiny house) won't be available until Wednesday. So we ended up driving all around Boise, cars loade

There are no words that could express this past week. I am mentally drained. Let me begin with my last day at work. It was kind of depressing to say bye to everyone that I have grown so close to in the past year, especially a few of my good friends. They threw my a going away party and we had a bake potato bar...Get it? I thought it was kind of funny. I wish the best for everyone there and I am so thankful for everyone. When I had to leave my badge with my manager I was thinking to myself, "This is it, I am done with this place. Are you sure about this? Yes you are because you have a full-time job in Boise waiting for you." Back and forth, back and forth and forth and forth. Through all of that I knew deep down I was moving forward. I felt weird as I was walking to my car that it would be last time I would be doing it. Change is hard, but in the end I feel that change is good.  Friday I had my allomap and echo with my doctors. My echo came back great, all my valves are doing

Crazy times for us right now. Everything is up in the air with so many important decisions we are making. All in all we are excited for the new change. This past week at work I told one of the patients that I worked with that I was moving to Boise. She was sad to see me go, but happy too. I feel like I have treated all the patients I have seen with respect and I have shown them that I care for them in the best way I could. I am sad to go sometimes, but I keep remembering that change is good and I am going to love my new job. We have been trying to figure out what our plan is going to be, nothing is set in stone yet. The unknown kind of gives my belly a whirl of emotions running in and out. Most humans don't like change, especially uprooting everything and going to a place you have visited a few times. With this change we know and understand there is going to be challenges  and frustrations, but we know that with these things there is going to be  growing and new beginnings that
