Mexico Vacation Recap!

I'm back! 

We had an amazing time in Mexico, and I am a little sad to be back home. :(
 This was my life for 7 days, and I enjoyed every second of it. 



We stayed at Secrets Maroma, which is just south of Cancun. The resort was amazing.


Even though there was a LOT of seaweed on the beach, the water was still beautiful, and we didn't let that stop us from enjoying the ocean.





Every morning I got up and had my coffee on the balcony. 

I will definitely miss this!


Then we would have a  protein shake and workout(only three of the seven days), eat breakfast at the buffet, and head out to the beach.  







After that, for most of the day we lounged by the pool, then went in for the lunch buffet or ate at the poolside grill, and then went back to the pool. We also played mini golf, ping pong, corn hole, and redneck golf at the resort. Then in the evening we went back to our room to get ready for dinner.






 We went out to the resort restaurants a few times. Our favorite was the Brazilian sword buffet and the Asian restaurant, where we watched an amazing cooking show. The food was great except for the sushi-it was my first time trying it! I did LOVE the fried ice cream for dessert. I think it was my favorite thing I ate of the whole trip! After dinner we went to a few of the nightly shows. The  AffAIR show(cirque du soleil type show) and Beatles tribute were both great


I ate so much yummy food, but to my surprise, I was actually down two pounds yesterday.
 We normally had 3 big meals and a couple of snacks each day(protein shake and quest bars). We don't drink, but I enjoyed unlimited diet cokes...cuz I decided to just be crazy on vacation! Haha. ;)
I ate potatoes, rice and fruit with pretty much every meal. 



I had NO freakin' idea what my calories or macros were and couldn't care less. I didn't even think about it!
I usually just sampled the desserts Matt got, with the exception of the fried ice cream-I ate that whole thing!  I also ate a ton of fruits and veggies along with the "bad" stuff. I was actually craving a big salad every night, and the dressing they used was awesome!

We did an excursion one day to the Mayan ruins in Coba, which was a lot of fun. We rappelled, zip lined, canoed, and then climbed to the top of the Nohoch Muul pyramid. 

We also swam in a cenote, which was really cool!


It was so hard to leave on the last day! I almost cried walking away from the beach. I would love to go to the beach every year, but it's just not realistic, unfortunately... sooo I never know when we'll be able to go back. :(
 But I'm having fun going through all of our pictures and be able to somewhat relive it!



























And for your viewing pleasure:

    It looks like you had such a wonderful time - you both look amazing too! You seem like you work pretty hard, so it's good to see you had lots of fun! I stayed a little further down than you in the past (Bahia Principe in Riviera Maya), and your pictures are making me want to go back BAD!

    I have to say though, I'll be glad to see you posting again! :).

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 ...
