thank you oh so much

Crazy past few days in the Askwig household. First off I want to thank everyone that came out yesterday to the DASH4ASH. I was so amazing the people that showed up so thank you from the bottom of my heart. We had 7 people sign up to be donors. If you aren't a donor go online and google Utah donor registry. You could save someone's life like me. At the 5k we had Barney a 2 time liver recipient and Julie a 2 time kidney recipient there. They were just as grateful to their donors and being able to do things in the day to day life without struggle. Thanks to all my friends that came out to support, I truly appreciate it!

Before the 5k we had our last meeting to get everything locked and loaded for Saturday. My cousin Jen flew in from Houston, Texas to help out. Everyone was a little tense and stressed, but we pull it off. Stuffin swag bags, getting all the raffle items together and letting the volunteers know what to expect the day of the race. At the end, I felt like it is so crazy that the day is already here and how everything has come together. So blessed and grateful I felt from the people that gave whatever to help out. Thank you to the DASH4ASH crew and volunteers.

Friday I was on the news! It is so crazy how the news people do the newsy stuff that they have to do. Way over my head. I thought all the people on the channel were there, nope I was wrong. There were only a cameraman, Nadia Crow and 4 other sound peeps. All the rest of the people were out and about. I thought that they would go and record, then return to the news station. Pretty cool experience, though. Check mark on my bucket list. After all the shenanigans I met up with my old college roommates. Jac, Hase and Kylee for dinner. Made me miss Idaho a little. Jac and Hase are mothers and so stinkin cute. Kylee is pregnant and having a boy. So jealous. Then I remember that my baby boy Wrigley is at home. But honestly, oh how I wish I had a little weewad.

So when I told all y'all about how I was able to hike Bell's Canyon. Well, today my cousin wanted to go do something outdoors, so I thought Bell's would be good. We headed to the trailhead and began to hike we made it to the lake area and ran into these people. Long story short, I didn't know that Bell's Canyon kept going? The gentleman said there were these waterfalls. Jen and I wanted to find those waterfalls, mostly me but any who. We kept trekin up the mountain. So beautiful the land we live in. Every time I go hiking, I am amazed.  We wanted to keep going, but Jen's phone died so we didn't have a phone just in case something happened that meant down the mountain. We never found the waterfalls. I think I have been up there though back in High School with the soccer team. My memory isn't that great now ever since my stroke unfortunately. Loved having my cousin here it has been a hot minute since we have gotten together.
