Loving this fall weather that we are having with all the tree's changes. Soo beautiful!! I really enjoy this time of the year, because we are all ramping up for all the many holidays!! Beginning with one of my favorites Halloween! As Steve and I have been driving around different areas, we have seen some pretty amazing and scary Halloween decorations. One house has these mannequin heads on the porch that has axes, knives and pencils in them with oozing blood.

This weekend my brother was in town with his girlfriend. We went to this Fall Festival, where there were pumpkin launchers. The pumpkin launchers were aimed at an old car in the middle of a field and by the end of the festival the car was demolished. There was live music, auctions, food trucks and local produce for sale. It was great seeing my brother and visiting with him and his girlfriend.

We are still moving forward with our surrogate process. The legal side of it is almost done. We have found an attorney for our surrogate. Our surrogate and attorney needs to meet and discuss some items and then our attorney and surrogate's attorney are going to be in communication. The next step after all the legal stuff is extracting my eggs and tricking our surrogate's body that it is pregnant. Confusing, I know. At the beginning of this I knew that this process wasn't going to be easy, but now this whole thing is coming right along and each step closer I am getting more and more excited to add another member to our family.

Today Steve and I took Wrigley up into the foothills and enjoyed this amazing weather. This place is so beautiful and I am so grateful to experience it every single day.

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...

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 ...

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...
