What day is it?

HUMP day!! Hope everyone is having a wonderful day. So yesterday, Tuesday, I had a clinic visit with the doctor. They say everything is looking and sounding great with my ticker. They remind me every time I go in that my immune system is extremely low right now and to slow down. So I nod my head, like yes, okay I understand, but inside I'm like come on people its been over 5 years and I feel amazing why can't I be doing everything I want to be doing. Like going out to dinner anywhere with a bunch of people, go to the movies with a lot of people around or even work. I wish my body would start to feel weird when I got myself in a situation that was too germy for me, if that makes sense. Anyways, my blood work came back great, except my prograf troft level was still high, 18. They want me between 12-16, so they lowered my dosage.  Next Monday I have another biopsy and echocardiogram, gotta love those days...NOT! But ya gotta do what ya gotta do!
Okay, enough about all that crap. My best friend Scottie and I went driving up to Park City on Monday and ate at Main Street Pizza and Noodles. Great GF pizza there FYI. We were chatting up a storm as usual, but this time it was more adult stuff, like how we are getting older and how we see the world differently than we did back when we were kids. Becoming an adult isn't easy its hard work, all these decisions you have to make that might change your future. I am enjoying the journey I am on though. There are so many challenges out in this world that can tear us down, but it is how we react to these challenges that makes who we are. Next time you are faced with a challenge big or small think about both sides of how you might react. Now go out there with your head held high because you got this, you soo GOT THIS!!! :)


Steve and Wrigley even say so...

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...
