Five Things Friday!

Happy Friday!

It's been a great week, but I'm glad the weekend is here! I decided to do a little different "Five Things Friday" post this week, hope you like it!

 5 things I ate:
I still look forward to my weekly Quest bar!I don't limit myself to just one a week for any reason other than I don't want to go through them too fast because I'm cheap! No flavor has yet to beat cookie dough, but  I am really wanting to try the S'mores one-just haven't been able to find it yet!

It had been a while since I've had my french toast egg, bacon, cheese sandwich. It really is one of my favorite meals, and so easy to make.
I had some bananas that were going bad, so I made these yummy banana bread protein muffins. They're always good, but this time they turned out reeeally good!  I love having these as a post workout treat, snack, or dessert. They're made with just protein, oats, bananas, cinnamon, egg whites, baking soda... and chocolate chips of course!

Y'all know I LOVE my post workout protein shakes, and I have a different one after every workout. Well, this one I had the other day was the bomb. Yes, I just said "the bomb". I just added some pb2 to my chocolate iso-whey, and it was seriously like drinking a Reese cup milkshake.

And this was my treat meal last weekend, which was delicious. I made some baked Panko breaded chicken fingers...with tater tots on the side. I. LOVE. tater tots. LOVE them.

5 scriptures I read:

 1 Peter 2:11
 Dear friends, I warn you as “temporary residents and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls.
1 John 4:11
 Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.
Ecclesiastes 5:10
Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness!
Proverbs 11:35
A generous person will be made rich, and whoever satisfies others will himself be satisfied.
1 John 4:16-

5 things that made me happy:

The weather for the past few days has been soo nice. Warm enough to acually sit outside on the porch and read! I know it's just a tease, but I'm gonna enjoy it while I can!
 
This baby elephant! This is so where I want to be right now-face planting in the ocean! Ha! How cute is that?  


This adorable pic of Celeste my sister posted. I absolutely love her! It's been a month since I've seen her...and that is WAY too long!! I gotta make that happen soon.

Being able to practice my handstands outside! I have been practicing them a LOT lately, and I think I'm getting better.I mean, I should hope since I've been practicing these darn things for years now!

 
My two boys! They make me smile every day! :)

Have a great weekend!

    I have tried the S'mores bars, and they are actually kind of gross...so disappointing. They taste really fake and the texture is not like other Quest bars. Cookie dough is hands down my favorite and I can't wait to eat my (several times weekly!) bar.

    Quest bars are my favorite! I love the double fudge brownie too - haven't tried Smores yet. And I am so jealous of your handstands - I have been trying forever and I just can't get them!

      Oh, they took me forever to learn. Just practice a few minutes every day, and I'm sure you will get them eventually!

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 ...
