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

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
