Weekend Recap

I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday weekend! 

Saturday was my little cousin Trinity's first birthday party. She is such a cutie! I have a beautiful family. ;)



I got to see Celeste, too, which made me sooo happy. :) She is just so sweet and adorable.

I enjoyed lots of treats while there- a hot dog, meatballs, chips, potato casserole, and of course, cupcakes and ice cream- yum! I can't believe I didn't get a pic-I guess I was too busy stuffing my face! Haha.

. One thing I like to do is make any social functions that come up be my "treat meal/free meal", so that I don't ever feel deprived, or feel like I "can't" eat something. It's all about balance, and to me, that means being able to go to a family function and eat like a normal person for a day, not packing around tupperware. If that's your thing, great, but it's not mine!

Anyway, how freakin' adorable is Celeste is? I love this picture-my sister looks so pretty and healthy. :)


 Celeste had so much fun in the bouncy house!

 This girl is always so happy!

After the party, Matt and I went to watch my little brother wrestle at Ohio Valley Wrestling. 
I'm glad he's found something he enjoys that gives him some kind of purpose, finally. I know that for a while he was just sort of "lost". And yeah, maybe nothing will come of it career wise, but I think it's a great thing for him right now. I remember him calling me before his first match and telling me how scared he was, and now he is in the ring doing awesome! He is a great performer, and  I'm so proud of him! We used to go to OVW over 10 years ago to watch the shows when Matt was wrestling there, so it's crazy that now I'm watching him in the ring!

God is so good, y'all. There was a time a few years ago when I was constantly worried about my brother and sister. Like, there was a point when I was afraid that I could get a call that they were dead at any moment. They may not have their lives totally on track right now( I'm still trying to get them in church!), but I'm just thankful that they are both alive and at least not on the WRONG track. God answers prayers!

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 ...
