Currently....


Loving...
DIY natural beauty remedies. I'm a little late jumping onto the bandwagon, but I just started using coconut oil on my hair and last night mixed it with some honey for a face mask. Right now I'm obsessed with getting my hair healthy and growing it really long, so I'm hoping the coconut oil will help. Anyone have any tips for getting your hair to grow fast?


Eating...
everything in sight, ha! It feels like it-rice, cereal, potatoes...no food is off limits! Of course, I added in more calories and increased my carbs at dinner and ended up losing 2lbs!! Even the week I had 3 yummy treats, my weight went down! Really? Only I lose weight while trying to do the opposite! WTH. Anyways, my most recent find the other day at Kroger were these sweet potato chips.



They are sooo good, and have only 3 ingredients. You just gotta be careful with them if you have portion control problems. ;) But sometimes ya just need something a little crunchy and salty, and these do the trick!

Reading....
The Lovely Bones. Really liking it so far! I didn't even realize that it was made into a movie until I was looking for this photo!? Ooh, can't wait to watch it!

 

Watching....
The Hero, The Real Housewives, Breaking Amish, The Bachelorette...can you tell I love reality shows? My favorite show right now is Hannibal-only one episode left! Have any of you been watching? I can't wait to see what's going to happen this week!

Craving...
Ice cream! I can go without it during the winter, but during the summer it's all I want. And normally I'm a chocolate person...but in the summertime, I'm all about strawberry. It just hits the spot! We've been going to Cold Stone Creamery-that place is soooo good.

Listening to...
Karmin - I  just love them! I uploaded a few of their songs to my Ipod for workouts the other day. Their songs are so upbeat and catchy!

Thinking about....
how absolutely excited I am for my niece, Celeste, to get here in July! Only a month to go. It's so crazy how these 9 months have flown by. I still can't believe that my sister is going to be a mom. But it is such a good thing for her and for our family, although it was quite the shock at first! This baby has been a blessing and has brought my sister back. God answers prayers! Everyone keep her in your prayers for an easy delivery and a healthy baby!

Wishing for....
a trip to the beach! Probably not gonna happen in my near future, but I can wish! I mean, is there anything more beautiful and relaxing than this?

    I'm counting down the days til my beach vacation begins (6 weeks and two days, in case you were wondering ;) )! I love using natural products on my face, but haven't tried it in my hair. My hair grows wicked fast so I don't want to encourage it haha

      So lucky!! No beach trip for me this year, so sad. :( I'm obsessed with getting my hair really healthy. It does grow pretty fast, but tends to not look very healthy the longer it gets!

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 ...
