Beautiful Weekend

It was such a gorgeous weekend. Finally the humidity was gone so that it was actually enjoyable to be outside again! While I'm super sad that my pool time is going to be over soon, I really do love this time of year.

Saturday was uneventful. Just went to church and then had a yummy dinner that evening. Chicken thighs and corn on the cob. One of my favoritest meals!

Sunday I did food prep and made some of my yummy protein pumpkin muffins, which are a staple in my diet. I mostly have them after a workout, but they're great for anytime! I also enjoy them as dessert after dinner. I've posted the recipe, but here it is again:
1 scoop vanilla whey protein
1/2 cup egg whites
1/2 cup ground oats
1/2 can pumpkin puree
1/2 tbsp baking powder
Pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon(I don't measure)
Chocolate chips(however much you'd like!
Mix all ingredients. Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes. 

I love it that football season is here! I  have missed football being on in the background on Sundays while going about my chores.
 

I spent a lot of time being outside Sunday because it was so nice. I have missed my hammock time! I have to take advantage of this kind of weather while it's here!
 

Sunday we went out to dinner on the river for our treat meal .


We went to Buckhead's, so of course we had to get our favorite dessert, Pike's Peak. It was absolutely wonderful. PB and chocolate ice cream with cookie crust, chocolate peanut butter chunks, and pb and chocolate fudge!

      I edited the post and included the recipe! I think they are better the next day after being stored in the fridge.

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
