sorry :(

I am such a stiff and I swear I didn't even know I was stiffen anyone.... I thought I posted something 2 weeks ago. So here is what has happened in the past month short and sweet. 

First, we have come to a decision with our surrogacy process, with me talking to quite a few people about our decision and their thoughts. We have decided to wait with our one little embryo and go the adoption route first. This was hard for me at the beginning because I have always wanted a baby that came from both Steve and I. So, right now we are trying to find the perfect house in order to get our home study done and to begin our adoption profile. After we settle into our future home, we are going to spread the word that we are hoping to adopt.

I had a doctor's visit and everything is looking good. It is so nice that my doctor's from Salt Lake come up to Boise to see the transplant patient and it was great seeing a familiar face Dr. Rami. I have kind of been missing everyone down in Salt Lake that I usually see everytime I have an appointment. My next visit is in 2 months to get my allomap checked and get an echo.

This past weekend we went up to St. George to see Steve's family and to go through the temple for his sister, get sealed to her husband and little Boggs. It was such an amazing weekend and oh so fun to see everyone and kind of crazy too, but I like craziness. We hardly ever get everyone all together because we all live across the US.

My cousin left for his mission yesterday. He is going to be at the Missionary Training Center until the 26th and then he is off to Ghana in West Africa. His last name is Black and his skin color is the complete opposite hehe...so since he got his call we all told him to show everyone in Ghana the new black. He is going to do great, one of the kindest kids I know. Go get it done Elder Black!!

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...

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...
