Thanksgiving Recap

Hi! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
 
I enjoyed spending time with my family and eating lots of good food!
Here are a few pics from Thanksgiving day at my grandma's.



Love my family!
 
Then yesterday we had Thanksgiving at my Mom's house, so I got to see beautiful Celeste again, which always makes me happy! :)
 I think she is the prettiest baby I have ever seen, and she is always so happy!
Also this weekend I got all my Christmas decorations finally put up. I am a little OCD about my trees, so it can be stressful putting them up, but it's so worth it when they're finished!  I looooove my house all decked out for Christmas! My shopping is all done, too, so now I can just relax and enjoy the holidays.
Isn't it just so pretty?
Sooo I woke up the day after my first Thanksgiving feast feeling lean! Yup, even after all that mac and cheese and pumpkin pie. :)
I'm not tracking my intake, but still eating carbs with almost every meal and just lifting heavy with a couple of finishers a week and going for a short walk here and there. The bad thing is, though, after not weighing myself for a couple of weeks, I have lost almost 3 pounds. NOT good!  I mean, I like the abs that come with it....but I want a booty! So I have got to get back on track with eating more than I feel comfortable with if I want to get these legs and butt to grow! Story of my life, haha!

      Haha, I know, I'm not normal. But with the heavy lifting that I do I have to eat a LOT or I lose easily.

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 ...
