Elevated Personal Training

I started planning this surprise trip 5 weeks ago. I was overwhelmed and felt held up consistently by the what ifs. All I knew is my family deserved this. So I did it anyway. The best part about it is how wrong I was! It was somehow better than I could have imagined! Cathartic, connecting, beautiful, delicious and so fun! I feel so blessed. I wept leaving our Place which I think is the best sign I could have got! This time with my mom and my family is a highlight in my life. Grateful to collect another memory. I love you Oregon! I knew you were what we needed.

My fav Mother’s Day gift and other wonderful things.

Being a human being is so unbelievably Rad!

Glimmers from a weekend at The Arnold. Had a fantastic time coaching my Athlete and dear friend ! Had an even better time joining the Ucker family vacation! I couldn’t sum up how proud I am of Trev! He came to compete against many of the best pros in the world and really proved he belonged there. I got to see old friends, make some new ones and create some really beautiful memories. I have come away yet again having learned a great deal and with some fresh inspiration on the side. To my Trev! We never needed to leave Utah for me to feel tremendous pride in your journey! I see the work you do daily! It’s one of the best parts of being a coach! I observe what makes you the brilliant athlete and person you are! I’m so grateful for your accountability, steady mind and the humility you often show. You are an easy athlete to coach and one of the easiest people to love! Cheers to you! Love you Trev ! Also miss you fam ❤️ , Dad

I am approximately 1,512 miles away from my boys and hubby. I had my first night of uninterrupted sleep in prob 7 months. I got ready to LOUD music. I sat alone at a table and enjoyed 3 cups of coffee WITH creamer. I had enough time to lay in a bed and watch the clouds shift out of the city making room for blue sky. Husbands/ partners. Listen to me! Make room for your significant other to unplug. I miss my children and husband so very much but I can already feel more of myself coming back simply because I remembered she existed. Postpartum is a bitch for literally everyone involved! Make it ok to recharge! Support one another’s needs for a reset ! It’ll come back ten fold! Thank you to everyone who is making this time away possible! I have a tremendous village!

Some of us are the Shepards who almost immediately and obediently go to find the son of God. Then there are those of us who like the wise men travel years across unfavorable and even dangerous terrain in order to find our salvation in the one Jesus the christ. Both required immense faith and both required a journey. I think it is not in how long it takes us to come unto him so long as we do. He waits for all. Today I am greatful for his patience with me. Merry Christmas! You are loved ❤️

Traditions are a funny thing. As a mom sometimes you feel like you are pulling your kids through these well thought out heart felt experiences. It doesn’t always go to plan. It can even be frustrating. BUT I believe strongly that doing these things despite the hard parts gives adults things they really cling to when looking back at their childhood. I hope that as they grow they will remember how loved they were. I hope they see how much effort I put into their memories. I know how many mommas feel this deeply! I just wanted to say! I see you and i appreciate the magic you are in your loved ones lives! You are making the world a better place ❤️🎄

Halloween 🎃 👻💀

To my big boys. I know you feel the distance. I know you feel a little unseen. I know you have been patient. I know you are sad with some of these big changes. Truth be told despite how happy I am to have a new baby to love I am sad too. I miss you. We had a system in place that orbited you. I was used to it too. I don’t think any of us understood how much of a shift this was going to be. With all that being said I wanted to tell you how much I love you. That I have lost sleep over you growing up, I have been in tears over the thought of any physical or emotional distance between us. I am so grateful to have boys I don’t just love but genuinely really like. My world happily revolved around you. And even if it feels a little different right now I hope you know it still does. You are my gravity. You are my joy. You are simply beautiful in every way the word Implies. Having your brother if anything highlighted that fully. Shining a brilliant light on how fast our time has already Been together. Thank you for Giving me something worth clinging so fiercely to. I am so proud to be your mom and so grateful for the times I also feel like your friend. I love you endlessly. Truly. Love Mom
