sorry :(

I am such a stiff and I swear I didn't even know I was stiffen anyone.... I thought I posted something 2 weeks ago. So here is what has happened in the past month short and sweet. 

First, we have come to a decision with our surrogacy process, with me talking to quite a few people about our decision and their thoughts. We have decided to wait with our one little embryo and go the adoption route first. This was hard for me at the beginning because I have always wanted a baby that came from both Steve and I. So, right now we are trying to find the perfect house in order to get our home study done and to begin our adoption profile. After we settle into our future home, we are going to spread the word that we are hoping to adopt.

I had a doctor's visit and everything is looking good. It is so nice that my doctor's from Salt Lake come up to Boise to see the transplant patient and it was great seeing a familiar face Dr. Rami. I have kind of been missing everyone down in Salt Lake that I usually see everytime I have an appointment. My next visit is in 2 months to get my allomap checked and get an echo.

This past weekend we went up to St. George to see Steve's family and to go through the temple for his sister, get sealed to her husband and little Boggs. It was such an amazing weekend and oh so fun to see everyone and kind of crazy too, but I like craziness. We hardly ever get everyone all together because we all live across the US.

My cousin left for his mission yesterday. He is going to be at the Missionary Training Center until the 26th and then he is off to Ghana in West Africa. His last name is Black and his skin color is the complete opposite hehe...so since he got his call we all told him to show everyone in Ghana the new black. He is going to do great, one of the kindest kids I know. Go get it done Elder Black!!

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 ...

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...

New Day, New Chapter, New....????

After the other days SHOCKing experience, I had to go into the clinic today to have my device interrogated.   Basically find out why I got shocked…. Was it warranted?? My device is set to SHOCK me if my heart gets beating too fast, like 180bpm or higher. Which I guess I excreted myself too much yesterday. This is a little bit upsetting, I was hardly up the trail and I got shocked. How am I supposed to do anything physical and not get shocked? Think about trying to exercise but also having to worry about a horse kicking you in the chest at any time.   Leaving the clinic I was pretty bummed… Is my heart just getting worse? Anyway, I went to work at straws and about an hour into work the clinic was calling me. I didn’t want to answer because I had a feeling my INR would be too low again and I would have to be admitted to the hospital. Anyway, I answered and Dr. Kia was on the line. He said “I heard you left upset from the clinic today?” I figured he was about to give me a pe...
