rebooted

Dang, this week flew by for me so quick. I feel like I closed my eyes for 10 seconds and BAM it was Friday. It is our second week in Boise and we are growing fonder and fonder of this fun town. Our tiny house sometimes gets a little bit boring, but there is plenty to do outside. We have been hiking in the foothills, taking strolls downtown and going on a lot of walks with Wrigley, due to our yard been very petite. On Saturday we ran in the Boise Meets World 5k. The run went along the greenbelt right next to the Snake River. We saw people surfing and boogie boarding in the river, a lot of people on bikes and others who were out enjoying the weather.
My second week on the job was great. All of the people I work with are very nice; especially our front desk lady, she makes the best homemade caramel apples. I ate the whole apple in one sitting because the goodness was too good not to resist.
We just finished up all the paperwork that our attorney needed from us, so that makes us a step closer with our surrogate process. Now we have to begin writing the agreement with our attorney for our surrogate to review with her attorney to agree and sign. Every time we pass a park with kiddos playing I tell Steve, "I can't wait to have a kid," but at the same time I can wait because this time right now is important too. We are growing in sooo many different directions our knowledge of becoming and being a parent is expanded so we can be the best kind of parent we can be for our kiddo. Which we are okay to sit back and roll with the punches of lives ups and downs.
This conference weekend was what I needed to reboot myself to have more gratitude for God, a greater focus on Him and when whatever comes upon me to look for the joy because there is joy in everything we do, sometimes it just takes some looking to find it. :)

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...
