happy holidays

What a holiday season it was for me. We made it to Salt Lake on our second attempt on Christmas Eve because of the weather. Before heading down to Salt Lake we went on a walk, Steve helped someone get unstuck and went sledding with all the snow we got. On our way down the weather never let up which made me extremely nervous, I almost wanted to turn around again.
Christmas morning was so beautiful waking up to so much snow. At first when I found out that Christmas was on Sunday I was sort of bummed, but as it got closer my thoughts changed and reminded me of what the TRUE meaning of Christmas is.

I was so grateful that we made it down to spending Christmas with my crazy family. We went snowshoeing my very first time and we had a blast. I got to see my bestest buddies and chat about our lives. On Tuesday I had an appointment for our surrogacy process that went smoothly. I have gotten all my hormones that I am going to be starting here soon and before I blink again we will have our embryos. It is nuts how quick all this has happened. There is still a lot of stuff that we need to make happen, but the closer it gets the more realistic it becomes :)

Wrigley had a follow up appointment on his anger problems. We went to Petco! Steve and I have never, NEVER taken Wrigley into a store with other dogs. He did good though, which surprised both of us.

Yesterday we went to Wild Root Cafe in downtown Boise to eat dinner. It was amazingly good and oh so fresh. After we ate, we walked over to the Capitol to see the this gigantic potato. It was the 4th year Boise has done this potato drop. It was interesting, I guess there are people around the world that come and see this potato. It is not a real potato, but it looked pretty real. We had a fun New Years Eve it was way cold, so we chickened out and watched the potato drop on tv.

In 2016 I believe that I accomplished all my resolutions. For this new year's resolution I am going to have to get back to you on them, but we hope to have a baby this year!



 






Happy New Year from us to you

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...
