birthday, new job and teaching yoga

Since my last post I have had my birthday, got a new job closer to home, taught my first yoga class and gotten wiser each day. :)

My birthday was super fun! Steve and I went to SLC because Boise didn't have any snow and I don't feel like it is my birthday if there is no snow on the ground. SLC definitely had snow. Steve surprised me by taking me to a Jazz game, which was a blast because we got dinner and other goodies and we got a W. So it was a win win, oh and the Jazz bear gave me a hug. Then my mom and Steve decide to gather family and friends to celebrate my birthday without telling me. It was a great time spending time with everyone and made me miss home. We also went snow shoeing which was pretty amazing and it crazy what and where you can go in those snow shoeing! Overall great 29th birthday!

Can you see me?

My new job is less than 10 blocks away from where we live! AMAZING!!! I do miss my Caldwell peeps though. It was hard to say goodbye to some of my patients, but everyone understood why. I grew so much working at Altitude and now I am able to bring my knowledge to Therapeutic Associates. It has been 2 weeks since I started and I am loving it. I enjoy the learning environment and how everyone is approachable.

For my first whole hour teaching yoga I was nervous, but a good nervous. I did my homework and I went to a whole lot of hot hour class, so I had it in my body and mind. Before teaching I went over the first part because I screw up. As the time approached the nerves kept creeping up. Once I walked into the room nerves were bouncing off the wall, but when I began to speak the nerves froze for a wee bit. Til I screwed up on the section I reviewed 30mins before! I was battling internally and saying to myself what the crap, ya dork! I found my footing and started to sail again. It was such an amazing experience to be able to teach and the student to follow. I definitely felt more confident with my movements and words, even though I had a few bumps. I was on a high the rest of the night!
Now I am trying to reach out to all the studios to see if they need any instructors and meeting up with someone to chat about potentially teaching next week! Super excited!!

My 4th annual is scheduled so stay tuned to hear from me in March!


Happy birthday to Katelyn yesterday

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...
