I hope everyone had a wonderful holidays and your New Year is going great. Steve and I went to my parents for Thanksgiving with my brother and new wife Danielle and her kids. We had fun playing games and watching football. We stayed here in Boise for Christmas and it was the first year we have spent it with just each other. I was nervous at first, but it ended up being a Christmas that I won't forget. We made some fun family traditions, went skiing on Christmas day with some friends and of course opened presents. My parents came up for New Year's. We went skiing and had fun at the famous potato drop New Year's Eve night. It was great having them up here to show them more of the town.
I had a doctors appointment in Decemeber and all is good with my echo andallomap . I am going to my annual in March, marking my 3 years with my new ticker. It is crazy to go back to the pictures that my family took 3 years ago. When I look at those pictures it doesn't seem like that was me. I am feeling normal. I am playing soccer, skiing, hot yoga, lifting weights and running. 4 years ago I never thought that my path was going to take me where I am at now and no words can express that my donor said yes. The only thing that I still notice is my symptoms of my stroke. We went to Sunvalley early Decemeber to go skiing and my right big toe got frost nip due to poor circulation and altitude, which means less oxygen. I have been trying to gain more upper body strength and my right arm is a little behind my left, but with that said I wouldn't change a thing. My struggles are my own that I WILL overcome them because I am determined and will never give up.
This year I haven't really thought about my resolutions, but for 2017 I did do 2 half marathons and did not go to Kanas. My in-laws are gypsies they are now in Charleston, but I would love to go to see the church history sites some day. For 2018 both Steve and I are going to get our adoption profile up and try to get a kiddo for our own. I am going to run 3 half marathons and be more in the present. Oh, and memorize the Living Chirst.
