Weekend Pics & A Leg Workout

I know I'm a little late with this, but I wanted to share some pics from last weekend.
 
Saturday felt soooo amazing out, I could hardly stand it! 60 and sunny never felt so good. We took Asher to run in a field nearby our house, and I layed on a blanket and soaked up some much needed sunshine! Unfortunately the warm weather only lasted a day and now we're back in the 20s.
Spring came to visit us for a day!
 
Sunday we had a surprise party for my grandma's 80th birthday! I sure hope I look and act like her when I'm 80. She is feisty and doesn't seem 80 at all!


And yes, you better believe I had a piece of this delicious caramel cake. AND ice cream.
 
Then it turned into a Celeste photoshoot, like always! I just can't help taking pictures of her. She is just the cutest thing I've ever seen! I mean, is she not?
 
 



 
In other news, I had a great leg workout yesterday and I am actually SORE today for once! I love that feeling because it makes me feel like I'm growing. Haha. Here was what I did for legs on Phase 2 of the "Uncaged" program I'm following:
 
1)Glute ham raise: 3x10
1b)Bounds: 3x5
2)Barbell squat: 160x5x4
3)Deadlift: 155x4x5
4a)Reverse deficit dumbbell lunge: 4x8
4b)Lsit hold: 4x10 seconds
5)Single leg hip thrust: 3x10
 6a)Back extensions: 3x15
6b)Lateral band walks: 3x12 each leg
 
The best part was coming home and having my post workout meal, which was a vanilla NitroTech protein shake poured over a bowl of Cinnamon Chex(best cereal EVER). Sooooooo yummy. Seriously. I can't wait for next leg day just to have it again! 
 
I've somewhat been participating in this Instagram "battle" thing that's been going on. It's pretty cool trying new things and seeing what you can do. Some I've been able to do well, and others...not so much! It's crazy what some of these people can do! I like it because it shows that there are ALWAYS new ways you can challenge yourself and things you can improve on. So if you have an Instagram, search the hashtag "instabattle2014" and check it out! And follow me while you're at it! :)

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 ...
