Thursday Thoughts

I have a whole bunch of things swirling around in my head, so I thought I'd just put them all in one post!

So, okay, I don't know why this irritates me so much, but I hate when people start putting up fall decorations before September is even here! It's still summer! It should be a rule that you can't put up fall decorations until October. ;) 

I love Fall-love love love it. I think it's the one of the best times of the year in Kentucky...but ...Fall just means it's that much closer to winter!! :( I am a summer girl through and through, and I wish it lasted longer! But I plan on enjoying these last few weeks of summer to the fullest!

And speaking of Fall...I have about a million bajillion pumpkin recipes I can't wait to try! I love pumpkin. Seriously, I have so many recipes pinned on Pinterest that I never get around to making-I think someone should come to my house and make them for me every week! You bake, I eat! Sound good?

Anyways, if you are new to my blog, you may not know, but I am obsessed with Erin Stern! I just love that she trains like an athlete and that she doesn't do a lot of the typical figure competitor, long and slow duration cardio. And her body is just aMAZing. Like, perfection. If I could look like anyone-it would be her!
 
 
My. butt. is. SO. sore. It hasn't been this sore in months and months, and I love it! Yesterday's workout consisted of heavy trap bar deadlifts(3x3, 1x8), barbell glute bridges(4x8-10), barbell walking lunges(3x8) and kettlebell swings(3x15)! It definitely worked the glutes, so that workout will be a keeper for the next few weeks for sure. My goal right now, as I've mentioned before, is to get my butt BIGGER. This soreness better mean that my butt is growing by the minute! ;) 

I'm really excited for CrossFit tomorrow! I don't think I could ever go back to doing CrossFit on a daily basis, but I really enjoy doing it once a week! I love the change of pace, I love the challenge, and I love the atmosphere. I may hate it while I'm doing it, but I feel amazing afterwards!

And guess what? Tomorrow's Friday!!!!

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...
