Today

Today was SO beautiful! You can't get any better than sunny and in the 70's in November! It was great to wear shorts and a tank top again....Oh, I am so dreading winter.

I made some yummy pumpkin bread today...I pretty much love pumpkin anything-one of the best things about fall! It turned out pretty good, and I made it a tad bit healthier by using some whole wheat flour. But it was my treat for the week, so I didn't worry about the sugar.

I normally don't go to the gym on Sundays, but I skipped yesterday because I was SO tired(had to get up at 6 a.m. to train a client), so I went today. I was supposed to do legs, but since leg day is my toughest workout, I decided to switch my days up and do shoulders today and legs tomorrow-I just wasn't feelin it today!

So here's my shoulder workout, for anyone who cares to know: seated barbell presses:50lbs-8 reps, 60lbs-6 reps x 2. Seated dumbbell presses: 25lbs-3 sets of 8. Barbell upright rows: 40lbs-10 to 12 reps, 4 sets. Tri-set of bentover lateral raises, lateral raises, and front raises: 8lbs-10 reps, 3 sets. Then did some machine shoulder presses for 12-15 reps. Really tryin to work on getting these delts to pop a little more! There is nothing that looks better than a woman with nice, round shoulders!

    Hasn't this weather been just gorgeous? Either God is giving us a break before a tough winter or He's letting us have a little light in these dark times. Either way, I'll take it : )

    I'm so with you on the pumpkin thing!! Love it and miss it : (

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...
