Who doesn't love October?

I feel like I've been gone for so long! Our internet was down for a couple of weeks, but now I'm back! :) I have a lot of blog reading to catch up on.

So I looove the month of October --who doesn't?? The humidity is finally gone, and it seems like the sun is always shining! Plus, all the fall festivities... and of course, PUMPKIN! As most everyone does, I LOVE pumpkin. I can't wait to start baking all my pumpkin treats!

I had my first taste of pumpkin over the weekend at Huber's. They have these amazing pumpkin donuts that I look forward to all year! They are just soooo good.

ANYway, I'm so glad it's Friday. The weather is going to be awesome this weekend-warm and sunny! It was cold last weekend at the pumpkin patch-I'm talking like 50 degrees!! Ugh. I was freezing my butt off! So it's nice to have the warm weather back, even if just for a few days. :)

Tomorrow we're going to a U of L game with my mom and her husband. I haven't been to a game in a long time, so it should be fun.

Oh-and another thing I love about fall--chili!! Hmm...why is chili a fall thing anyway?? But I'm so excited to make some tomorrow! I've been looking forward to it all week. Lol. I found all the canned goods I needed with no salt added(I was very excited about that), and I'll use lean ground beef and whole wheat spaghetti. Then I'm thinking maybe ice cream for dessert...???

Here are some pics from our annual family trip to Hubers:

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

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
