February "Currently"

Currently I'm...

Thinking about...
How I can't believe February is almost over! January seemed like it draaaagged by, but it was like I blinked and February was gone. I'm so excited for March! Even though we have had a pretty warm weather and only one dusting of snowfall this winter, I'm sooo looking forward to Spring and warmer weather, especially with the last few days being in the 70s here in Kentucky. It's amazing. I'm just hoping winter isn't going to hit us in March...I'm praying that won't happen!

Doing...
We celebrated a late Valentine's day this past weekend by going out to dinner and then to watch the Broadway play, The Little Mermaid. I absolutely LOVED it! It's fun getting all fancied up for a date. :)
 This was always my absolute favorite Disney movie growing up. I would so watch the play again!

Wearing....
False lashes! I'm not one of those girls who wears lashes like every single day, but I have always at least wanted to be able to wear them occasionally just for special occasions. My lashes are short and super straight. I have never been able to apply false lashes right, or when I did they never even showed up. And if I'm gonna wear lashes, I want them to really show. Well, I finally found some lashes I like that actually do show on me! 

These are the Ardell Glamour lashes, # 105. I got them on sale at Meijer for 2 bucks! I wish I would have stocked up on them. Definitely my fave of all the ones I've tried so far.

Eating...
Ya'll know I am obsessed with cereal, and I think I have a new fave. Honeycomb and Honey Bunches of Oats Cinnamon Clusters have been at the top of my list, but I think this Apple & Cinnamon Honey Bunches of Oats has taken first place. It is sooo good mixed with vanilla protein.
I've also been obsessed with oranges lately. I usually eat an apple almost every day, but lately I've been replacing that with Cara Cara oranges. They are delicious.
I'm also absolutely LOVING the NitroTech Crunch bars in the Birthday cake flavor. I have one of these usually once a week when I'm running errands or just have run out of meat by the end of the week. I really love the cinnamon roll flavor, but this was a nice change. These are definitely the best protein bars I've ever tried!

Reading...
I recently finished the book Orphan Train, and really enjoyed it.

I also just got Kyle Idleman's new book, Grace is Greater, and I'm really excited to read it. It's based on a sermon series he did a while back, and I just remember thinking it was a great series.Plus, I really I love the other three books of his that I've read.
Listening to...
I'm so in LOVE with Tenth Avenue North's new song, "I have this hope." I have just been listening to it over and over and over again...especially go through this rough time right now. Christian music has been such a help to me lately, I can't even tell you. It's so uplifting, and forces me to focus on God and praising Him. It reminds me of the great God I serve and the hope and joy I have regardless of my circumstances.

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 brok...
