So Christmas is Over....

Haven't written in a while! Just really haven't had much to write about. I'vebeen staying busy with the holidays and working and driving my husband around! But now he can drive and doesn't have to wear his braces on his elbow or knee anymore. Yay! :)

Well, I had a very good Christmas. I'm sad that it's over, but there's still one more holiday left!! :) I get sad after the holidays....now I have to suffer through a few more months of cold weather with nothing to look forward to. :( Once January gets here I am sooooo ready for the warm weather again! But I do have Valentines Day to look forward to, and me and my husband's(I know that's bad grammar-lol) wedding anniversary in March. Hoping to plan something fun for our anniversary-maybe go on a weekend trip someplace? Hmmm....

Well, it's MONDAY...ugghh...and very COLD and dreary out. I slept horribly last night so I'm kinda sluggish today. But I did get in a LEG workout earlier. My squats have really sucked lately! The heaviest I can get to is 155 for 6 reps. I'm stuck there and have been for a while. I don't know how I have gotten weaker on my squats... I've been able to increase on stiff-leg deadlifts, leg press, hack squat and lunges. Just not those stupid squats!! Oh well, I guess 155 is not too bad for these little toothpick legs!

Anyway, here are some pics from Christmas:

  1. Darn squats! They are a hard one mentally to increase weight on. I get stuck often and it usually takes doing plyo to build up the strength again. Good luck with it!
    Sounds like you had a nice Christmas. I hope it warms up a bit for you soon : ) Beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing.

  2. I think most of it has to do with my husband not being there to spot me anymore...I was squatting 165 and 175 with him, but since he got hurt, I've been doing lighter weights and adding more reps. But I'm gonna keep tryin!
    I did have a nice Christmas, and I hope you did, too!
    Thank you!

Putting My Heart Out There

Hey guys. Here's where we're at right now: Matt finished his radiation treatments last week. Did they help? I don't know. He's sleeping a lot more. Having trouble chewing and swallowing. Not eating much. Not talking much, at least not in full sentences. It's just been a slow, steady decline for the last few months. I think it was really too late for radiation....But who knows, maybe it is delaying things. We went in last Tuesday for his infusion and talked with his neuro-oncologist about everything that we've been seeing with Matt, and he decided that we're at the point now where we should discontinue treatments...I feel like it's the right decision, even though it breaks my heart knowing that there is nothing else we can do. But I feel like we've done everything. All the supplements, the diet, the chemo, the radiation... Matt has fought hard. He never gave up hope. He kept the faith. He never complained through any of this. Not once did I hea
People always said That time would heal the pain But how can that be When mine still remains? The tears still fall At just the thought of you So I know that what they say Just can't be true As the years go by I miss you so much still  No matter how much time passes I know I always will How are you not here To ease my hurting heart? Never could I have imagined We would ever be apart My world has been shattered A piece of me is gone And all I can do is pray For strength to live on I know that one day soon I will see you again I just have to try to suffer through And make it until then

One Year...

One year ago today... the day it all changed. It was a Tuesday. I got the call from Matt around 3:00. I remember I was sitting at the computer at home. Matt told me that he was at the hospital, and that Bob Scott, his boss, had driven him there. Then he said those 4 words I never expected to hear: “The tumor came back.”  My heart stopped. Matt had gone in that morning for an MRI, as he has done numerous times in the past 10 years. He was now at the point where he had an MRI just yearly now, and that one was done in February, which showed that everything was fine. There was no sign of tumor growth, which had been the case for the last 10 years, praise God. But because Matt had been having some seizure activity for the last few months, they suggested he go in for another MRI in July. We then decided we should move up the appointment, because he had been having a headache every day for the past week. Good thing we did.... After I hung up with Matt,  I immediately broke down. I
