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.

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 ...
