2 weeks late...

We have embryos!!! It is so surreal to say that, but it is done. For that past 2 weeks I have been taking injections to increase my hormones and get ready for my retrieval. This past week we headed up to Salt Lake. I had my first appointment last Saturday and my retrieval happened on Wednesday morning this past week. I blinked and now we have embryos. So very blessed that everything went so smoothly without any complications.

On Tuesday I wanted to go to the temple so I packed everything up and headed to the Salt Lake temple as I arrived I noticed a sign saying temple closed. I decided to double check, I asked someone and it was closed. Off to Jordan River temple...got there and closed for constructions. Second strike. Draper or Oquirrah temple? Oquirrah it is. It was my first time and what a beautiful temple. I love to see the different and unique architecture each temple has. In the end, I am so grateful to have all these  amazing temples right by me and to go to any time I desire.

I saw my heart doctors while we were down in Salt Lake after my retrieval. I had an allomap and an echo. It was great seeing everyone in the clinic and catching up on things. They told my echo was looking good, but I haven't heard anything about my allomap yet.

Wrigley had a follow up appointment for his aggression. Once the trainer saw Wrigley and how he acts with us when Wrigley sees another dog. He told us some tricks to do with Wrigley. He did good which makes me happy and hopeful. I say that I can't wait til Wrigley can be off leash around other dogs and be okay, even if he is annoyed. But truly, I can because we still have some tweaks to unwind first which may take a while. Overall his obedience is on point, my parents have even said so :)

I have been thinking about my new year resolutions and I was thinking maybe I should run a half marathon for each year I have my heart, but that could get tricky because we all age and the longer I live that means the more and more running. I want to be able to run a marathon some day so that is more realistic. I am first going to get used to half marathons and then move on up. In 2017 I am going to run 2 half marathons, fly to Kanas City to visit the best in-laws in the world and go see the church history sites.

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 ...

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...

New Day, New Chapter, New....????

After the other days SHOCKing experience, I had to go into the clinic today to have my device interrogated.   Basically find out why I got shocked…. Was it warranted?? My device is set to SHOCK me if my heart gets beating too fast, like 180bpm or higher. Which I guess I excreted myself too much yesterday. This is a little bit upsetting, I was hardly up the trail and I got shocked. How am I supposed to do anything physical and not get shocked? Think about trying to exercise but also having to worry about a horse kicking you in the chest at any time.   Leaving the clinic I was pretty bummed… Is my heart just getting worse? Anyway, I went to work at straws and about an hour into work the clinic was calling me. I didn’t want to answer because I had a feeling my INR would be too low again and I would have to be admitted to the hospital. Anyway, I answered and Dr. Kia was on the line. He said “I heard you left upset from the clinic today?” I figured he was about to give me a pe...
