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...

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 ...
