will to follow

What a week it has been, a little stressed, excited and nervous. The reason why is because Steve, Wrigley and I are packing up and heading north to Boise Idaho. I accepted a full-time physical therapist assistant job up there. I am really excited to about it because my workload will increase and my knowledge will too. I will still be in orthopedics and in an outpatient facility which is awesome. I gave my 2 week notice to my boss at my job now, everyone there are excited for me and sad to see me go.
My doctors go up to Boise each month to see outlying patients. The only thing that I still have to do in Utah is my annual testing. With the surrogacy process we have already asked if we could move and our attorney said yes, the surrogate has to be in Utah. I have already spoken with our surrogate mother and she is on board with us. We are still moving forward on the process with the legal part of it. After the legal side of it is done I will have to come back to Utah and get my eggs retrieved. Yes, I know what you all are think this is nuts and a lot of work. I know that I have accepted that it is not going to be easy, but trust me I can do hard things. :) I believe that this is Steve and I's path. We have always liked Boise overtime we went there. It is a smaller Salt Lake, it still has great places to eat, fun downtown area, great outdoor activities and a plus is that it doesn't snow that much.
Like I said at the begin of this post this week has been stressful, exciting and nervous feeling. Stressful because the thought my parents, friends or my boss not letting me go. Exciting because of my new opportunity to go somewhere that I like and the growth that I am going to gain. Nervous feeling because in order for me to receive at license to practice in Idaho I had to complete continuing education courses and I had only done one. Now I don't feel any of those things well maybe a slight stressed because of the move and everything. With faith that God was in control I only lost it a couple times. Knowing that He is always right there to back you up is extremely comforting. I am so very blessed for this beautiful gospel on this earth today, without it I would be a head cast. Life is a constant journey and I am pretty much always ready to go. I am trying to be ready all the time to follow His footsteps each in every day. Sometimes I go backwards, sometimes I start right where I was and sometimes I follow. Each day is a new day, new beginning and new adventures.

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...
