New York Recap

Hi everyone! I just got back from our "vacation" in New York yesterday. We had a great time, but the week went by way too fast! Now it's back to reality. :(

So Friday we flew in to New York City because my father-in-law had set up a surprise birthday trip for my mother-in-law. She was thinking the two of them were just going on a weekend trip to the city, but me, Matt, and my brother and sister-in-law all surprised her by being in her hotel room when she got there!
She had no clue! We had a good time seeing all the sights in NYC and going to see a Broadway show.

 
 
Sunday we flew from NYC to Rochester for the rest of the week. We finally got to meet our little nephew, Caleb, who we hadn't seen in person yet. He is such a cutie with all that hair!

We have the cutest nephews! :) We took Noah to the Varysburg safari and had a great time seeing all the animals!

Soooo I'm not gonna lie, I ate pretty bad the whole entire week. I'm talking cheeseburgers, pizza, pasta and ice cream on a daily basis. The good thing was that I was able to keep up my regular training, and we did a TON of walking in New York City over the weekend.

I'm looking forward to getting back to my normal eating routine this week....one reason being that I have a photoshoot in just ten days!!! Yeah...I don't think most people would be eating what I was eating 10 days out from a shoot. So this will be the week to try to tighten up some. All I'm going to do is eat pretty much the same, just cut back slightly on calories, add in a fasted walk or some cardio intervals on off days, and then cut back on carbs just a few days before the shoot. But my husband says not to worry about it and that I look great right now(but he's supposed to say that, so it doesn't count!)


To top off my vacation week, yesterday I got a visit from Celeste! She just keeps getting cuter and cuter!

    Ha, I love it! I ate every single meal out over the last two weeks, including a lot of junk, and I think I actually look better now because of it! Not as good as you, of course :P

    Do you get weird looks doing handstands everywhere? I think it's awesome, but I'm sure you must scare people haha

      I know, it's crazy how that happens!
      I'm sure I probably get weird looks, but I don't know because I really don't pay attention! ;) I'm sure people are wondering what the heck I'm doing, lol!

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 ...
