Labor Day Weekend

I had such a great weekend-I'm sad that it's over! We had amazing weather- in the 70s and sunny! It was really nice to have some cooler weather. Today it's back in the 90s.

Saturday, Matt and I went to a park and then ate at a restaurant on the Ohio river in Indiana. It was a beautiful day to sit outside and have a meal with a great view of the river, the bridges and the Louisville skyline.

It was my cheat day, so I had this AWESOME dessert called Pike's Peak-it was a chocolate graham cracker crust with peanut butter and chocolate icecream on the inside, Reese chunks in the ice cream, then peanut butter and chocolate syrup on top! It was unbelievable!! I will definitely be having that again.

Sunday we had a cookout with some of the family. It wasn't supposed to be a cheat meal day, but I just couldn't pass up the potato salad...and a brownie! Where's my self control??? Lol.

Then Monday I had a few clients to train, but we spent most of the day moving more stuff into the house. We should be all moved in in a couple of weeks. I really hope we get this condo sold SOON!! Just praying and trusting in God.

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

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...

Why?

Why? Why do I care so much?  Why do I make sure they brush their teeth at night so that they don't get cavities? Why do I spend my own money to buy them clothes, toys and decorate their rooms, among other things?  Why do I do 5,000 loads of laundry a week to make sure they have clothes to wear to school? Why do I make sure they go to church on Sundays so that they'll be raised to know about Jesus? Why do I try to give them chores and responsibilities so that they will turn out to be decent human beings? Why do I read them a bedtime story at night, even when I'm exhausted? Why do I clean up after them constantly and cook for them and try to always have healthy snacks and food on hand? Why do I go to their sports games and practices, just to feel like the odd man out standing there awkwardly with their bio mom? Why do I give 100% of myself and make so many sacrifices for children I didn't birth? Only to be insulted and told hurtful things? To be made to feel like I'm ...
