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 ...

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...

FOREVERRRRR

I know it has been a while since my last post and I have been debating to post for the past 3 months. I was hiking with one of my friends and we were talking about my blog and adoption. I said it is sometimes hard because the main reason why I started this blog is to be my true self.  I know I have been talking about surrogacy and adoption and the that jazz. But sometimes I feel like I am putting on this persona that isn't me. I want to be real with all y'all still supporting me on this wild crazy adventure. So the main reason why I haven't posted is because there hasn't been any big news. I remember posting something about enjoying normal life once I got out of the hospital and yes normal life is great. But define normal life? No one's life is normal! It is more like chaos. Steve and I (mainly Steve) our redoing our new home we bought back in May and let me tell you it has been a whirlwind. Hoping to be in the house by mid September. We are back in the garage...
