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 ...

boise

This past week was a wake up for our Wrigley. We had a dog trainer come over to our house and teach us how to break his habits of aggression towards other dogs and people. We learned how Wrigley communicates and when to give affections and praise and when not to. Now that we have the proper tools rather than the wrong ones. We are excited to help train Wrigley's behaviors into more friendly ones. This process is going to be long, but just like our surrogate process we are going to dive in and handle whatever is to come. With the surrogacy I have spoken to my parent's neighbor about being our attorney and she agreed to represent us.  This weekend we headed up to Boise. Steve and I have always liked the idea of Boise, so we went to go and checked out some places. We got these bikes at the hotel we were staying at for FREE and rode around downtown Boise. We had a blast riding around to all the places. On the way home, we stopped to see Idaho State women's soccer play. They be...

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...
