Happy Fall!

Happy first day of fall!  September and October, I think, are the best months in Kentucky. :)

In celebration of fall, I will be treating myself to this sometime this weekend:
MMMmmm! One of my favorite things about fall!

I went shopping today.....Some of you may know that I've mentioned in previous posts how much I hate shopping! It is not fun to me.  I'm not one of those girls who has a million pairs of shoes to match with every outfit or who can spend 300$ on a purse. To me, that's insanity.

It's not really the shopping part I hate as much as it is the spending money part(although the shopping part isn't the most fun thing in the world to me, either)!! But there were some things that I have needed for awhile that I've been putting off buying, so I finally broke down and bought them. I guess that's what money's for, right?

So today's WOD is going to be "Fight Gone Bad", and I am actually quite scared.  I've done it once before, but only with 45lbs instead of the prescribed weight of 55lbs for women.

Here's what it is:

1 minute each, 3 rounds. Goal is to get as many reps as possible in each minute, and the total reps is your "score" for the workout.

Wall balls, 14lbs
Sumo deadlift high pull, 55lbs
Box jumps 20" box
Push press, 55lbs
Row(for calories)
Rest

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...
