Random Things Thursday

This has been one of the worst winters we've had in years. We got about 5 inches of snow last weekend and then had an ice storm on top of that Tuesday night. I'm just thankful we still have power, unlike the ice storm of '09 when we didn't have power for a week! That was horrible. Trying to make the most of it and not complain, but man, I'm beyond ready for Spring to get here.

So, on Wednesday's leg day, I decided to go lower reps on hip thrusts just to see how much I could do, and I surprised myself by getting up to 215 for 5! I usually do about 10 reps, but it was fun going a little heavier! Pretty soon I'll be joining the 225 club, woohoo!. These glutes had better be grooooowiiiiing!

Okay, so I'm not into fancy expensive bags or designer shoes. I have no desire to have a closet full of  of shoes to go with every outfit. Just not my thing. BUT- when it comes to bikinis....well, that's a different story. There is just something about them I just can't resist, and it's not even like I wear them all the time or anything. They're just so cute! I saw this one at Wal-Mart today in my favorite color, and for 14$, you can't beat it. Got Summer on my mind....

I was looking up recipes for chicken tenders for this weekend's "treat" meal, and I came across these Doritos crusted ones. I mean...how good do these look!? My husband isn't a Doritos fan like me, though, soooo I doubt I'll be making them. :/

Annnnd one last thing-I was ecstatic to find peanut butter skinny cows at the store today!!! As you know if  you've been following my blog for awhile,  I loooove my post workout Skinny Cows! I am all about balance when it comes to nutrition. I don't eat perfectly healthy all the time. I don't eat all organic, all natural foods and probably never will. I allow myself to have treats here and there throughout the week, and this is one of them I love to have after a workout!

And just because I can...I'll leave you with this adorable pic my mom sent me of Celeste the other day. I mean, who doesn't like cute baby pictures?? I looooooove her!!!!!

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
