So Christmas is Over....

Haven't written in a while! Just really haven't had much to write about. I'vebeen staying busy with the holidays and working and driving my husband around! But now he can drive and doesn't have to wear his braces on his elbow or knee anymore. Yay! :)

Well, I had a very good Christmas. I'm sad that it's over, but there's still one more holiday left!! :) I get sad after the holidays....now I have to suffer through a few more months of cold weather with nothing to look forward to. :( Once January gets here I am sooooo ready for the warm weather again! But I do have Valentines Day to look forward to, and me and my husband's(I know that's bad grammar-lol) wedding anniversary in March. Hoping to plan something fun for our anniversary-maybe go on a weekend trip someplace? Hmmm....

Well, it's MONDAY...ugghh...and very COLD and dreary out. I slept horribly last night so I'm kinda sluggish today. But I did get in a LEG workout earlier. My squats have really sucked lately! The heaviest I can get to is 155 for 6 reps. I'm stuck there and have been for a while. I don't know how I have gotten weaker on my squats... I've been able to increase on stiff-leg deadlifts, leg press, hack squat and lunges. Just not those stupid squats!! Oh well, I guess 155 is not too bad for these little toothpick legs!

Anyway, here are some pics from Christmas:

    Darn squats! They are a hard one mentally to increase weight on. I get stuck often and it usually takes doing plyo to build up the strength again. Good luck with it!
    Sounds like you had a nice Christmas. I hope it warms up a bit for you soon : ) Beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing.

    I think most of it has to do with my husband not being there to spot me anymore...I was squatting 165 and 175 with him, but since he got hurt, I've been doing lighter weights and adding more reps. But I'm gonna keep tryin!
    I did have a nice Christmas, and I hope you did, too!
    Thank you!

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
