New York Trip


We got back Sunday night from a wonderful trip to New York. We had a great time with Matt's family, and our 2 day trip to New York City was awesome!! I loved it and would definitely go back!


Sooo now it's back to the regular routine. :( I'm trying really hard to have a good week, but it's always just kind of depressing coming back from a relaxing week off. But I'm trying to be positive! It could be much worse-I am really lucky to have a job that I like and not have to work full time!


Well, the weather here has been in the upper nineties with high humidity, of course. It's definitely not fun coming from 75 degrees in New York to 100 degrees here! Today's heat index is supposed to be 110!! You can't really enjoy the summer much when it's this hot. But I can deal with this over the winter, so I'm in NO rush for it to get here. Winter will be here LONG enough!

Matt and I were sooo happy because we got to meet our new little nephew, Noah, before we left! We weren't sure we were going to be able to see him because he was scheduled to come by C-section a few days after we were leaving, but her water broke the night before we left! So we stopped in at the hospital to see him before we headed out. He is so adorable! I'm really glad we got to meet him.


I had such a great time in the city; it even was better than I expected!! It was so surreal being there-I almost felt like I was in a dream the whole time or something! It was an awesome experience. Being in Times Square was my favorite, I think-there is a buzz and energy in the air, and it's just so cool! I couldn't believe I was really there. It was the busiest place I have ever seen! But I loved it.

The first thing we did when we got there was take a cruise around the island. We got to see great views of the city skyline and the Statue of Liberty. Then we took a bus tour of downtown and went to the top of Rockefellar Center for an awesome view of the city! Later that day we took a night tour of downtown Manhattan and some of Brooklyn. The city is sooo pretty and night, and we got to see some stunning views. I loved Times Square at night!

The next day we went on a tour of Uptown NYC, which goes all around Central Park. We walked through parts of Central Park, but we just didn't have time to see all of it! It was a LONG 2 days, but I really did love every second of it!

    It looks like you had a wonderful time Lindsay!! I never really had an interest to see New York until recently. Now I see all of these pictures on blogs about it and it makes me want to go even more!

    Noah looks so tiny in your hubby's arms! How great that your were able to see him before you left : )

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...
