Sunshine, please.

I'm having sun withdrawals, I think. I desperately need some sunshine and warm weather.....Really baaaad....Feeling kind of down with everything that's been going on....

Just found out today that we can't rent out the condo we have anymore, so it looks like we'll be moving back there-right back where we started. But I guess everything happens for a reason, and I know that everything will be okay. I can't see the big picture, so I just have to be patient and let things happen the way God wants them to happen....

Just so much has happened in the past few months. 2009 started out pretty crappy-a few days before the new year we found out that Matt's contract with the WWE wasn't going to be renewed. They said that they would maybe try to find something else for him to do with the company...but I don't think they really care. Would've been nice to have a few months notice that he'd lose his job,though...

Sooo my husband had to drop out of school when he only had one semester left to finish. Then we decided to put our house up for sale, rent out our condo and our house to cover those payments, and live with a friend...but now that's all changed since we can't rent out our condo.

On top of that, my husband has been battling brain cancer for the past 3 years. His brain tumor was found in 2005, and he had it removed in 2007. Since then, he did radiation treatments for a few months and is now taking chemotherapy treatments....he's doing sooo great, and I'm so thankful that he is alive and healthy-we are so fortunate. I just wish that he didn't have to deal with all of this extra stress at this time in his life-he doesn't deserve it...but I guess that's life-no one is exempt from trials and tribulations.

My husband is the best, most caring guy ever, and he loves God so much. What hurts me most is seeing him have to go through this. I'm just so glad we have each other to strengthen and encourage one another. As long as I have him and God, we'll be okay!

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...

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...
