is it spring or winter?

My 28th birthday was pretty darn fun. My best friend Scottie came up from Salt Lake to hang out at our new place. She had never been to Boise, so we showed her around and let her in on our spots to grub up. It was really good to see Scottie and never realized how much I actually missed her. We got our nails done, saw the Greatest Showman, ate good food and finished it off with dancing at Humping Hannah's downtown. I sure am getting up there in age, but I just reminded myself of my resolution of being in the present.

About 2 weeks ago I started doing yoga in the morning for about 20-30mins and setting an intention before I start my flow. By setting an intention allows me to start my day off right and makes me happy. Each day I notice something different because it is a new day.  My gratitude for my body has intensified as well for my ability to hold/transition throw the poses. Some day my balance is on point and others I am completely worthless, but each time I get on my mat marks a time to better myself and outlook on life.

This past weekend Steve and I went to the McCall Winter Festival with Matt, Kate and Boggs.  I was the my first time and I was looking forward to see the ice sculptures, but they were more like packed snow sculptures.  The sun was shining and everyone had a good time. The sculptures were all around the town, so there were people walking everywhere.  We took a pit stop at Albertson's to have Boggs get out and move. Walked around a little bit more. Ate at KB's Mexican joint, by the time we were done eating there was double the people there, so we decided to head home.  We all had a great time spending time together on the way up and down, as well as walking around. Very glad to have family that lives nearby.

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 have provided a means out. Ashley is

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 with her

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 s
