Thinking...
That I can't believe it's already November! As much as I hate the weather that comes with it, I do have to say I love this month. My husband's birthday is in a couple weeks  and then Thanksgiving! I love seeing family and eating lots of yummy, homecooked food...and pumpkin pie! Plus this is my last month of training for my meet in December!  I can't believe I'm really doing this!

Excited about...
Putting my Christmas tree up! I love Christmas. A part of me gets sad because it makes me think of my Dad....and last year I got so depressed about taking my decorations down that I said I wasn't going to decorate this year. I think I'm just going to put my tree up earlier so I can enjoy it longer! Christmas is a magical time, and I hate it that for most people it's a time of stress and anxiety. It shouldn't be that way. :/

Feeling...
Cold. Just cold. All the time. I want Summer back...but instead...it's back to this for my daily walks. Wah wah wah.

Reading...
Just finished this book, Unwritten by Charles Martin. I really liked it! I guess one good thing about the cold is lazy weekends spent reading! Gotta try to focus on the positive!

Loving...
I was not sure about this one...pumpkin gum?? Buuuut I actually love it.
Eating...
Last weekend's treat was this delicious thing right here. An oreo stuffed brownie. Amazingness. I will be making these again without a doubt.
Drinking...
Chocolate Platinum Iso-Whey blended with a banana and PB2, one of my fave post workout shakes, second to my pineapple banana smoothie. 

Smiling because...
My sister came over the other day with Celeste! It's been too long since I've seen her! She is cuter every time I see her. I can't believe how big she is getting. She runs around and climbs on things now like a crazy person!


Listening to...
Unspoken. I found this acoustic performance on YouTube and played it on repeat. I love this song.


"The day keeps coming pulling me a different million ways
I'm always running but never seem to catch the things I chase
When I'm with You my soul finds rest
Cause I can leave it in Your hands..."

Have a great rest of the week! :)

    1. So simple-make brownie batter according to box, then just put 2 oreos in each muffin tin and pour batter on top!

  2. Hi lindsay. I love love love your blog and I check it everyday :).
    I was just researching something and found this old post of Tara's from 2012. Thought this was cool because it was just a hope or dream that you made happen.

    I’m sorry you’ve been going through this! I know how hard is must be to give up a dream. At least you can still lift and train hard…maybe you could do a powerlifting competition or something? I've always wanted to do that at some point in my life. I’m glad you didn’t quit blogging!

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
