Things That Make Me Happy Thursday

Yeah, I don't know if that's a thing, but I'm goin' with it! 

* A good haircut*
I go waaaay too long in between cuts, and my hair was in desperate need of something different. So I finally got it trimmed and got more layers put in, and I love it! :)


*Donuts*
So I have driven by this donut shop near my house like millions of times...never knowing that it's like one of the best donut places in Louisville, what?? I decided to check out their website one day and saw that they have 30 different donut varieties, and I knew I had to check this place out! I was not disappointed.


We tried a toffee, funky monkey, banana cream pie, caramel nut, and oreo cheesecake. They were all amazing but the caramel nut was my favorite. Can't wait to go back!


Yes, donuts make me very happy. :)

*Spring weather*
Even though it's going to be pretty cool the next few days, we've had some really warm, sunny days lately.Yesterday was an absolutely gorgeous day- almost 80 and sunny!

 I'm just soooo happy Spring is finally here!

 And Asher is, too!
*Hammock nights*
We had our first hammock night of the year last weekend. One of my favorite places to be, right here!



 *New products to try*
I was so excited when I got these in the mail last week! It's MuscleTech's newest sustained release whey protein. Really great stuff. I tried both flavors, and I really liked the vanilla. The chocolate was okay, but I'm very picky about chocolate protein! This will definitely be my new bedtime snack, along with my peanut butter and rice cake.


*PRs*
Since hip thrusts are the exercise I've been doing the least amount of time, I'm still seeing strength increases. It makes me happy to be getting PRs on something! I was able to get 250 for 5 reps last week, the heaviest I've ever gone, and then this week I got 255 for 2x5. I am loving hip thrusts right now!



*Celeste*
I looove when I open my email to find cute pics of Celeste from my mom! She is so adorable, I can't stand it. Sometimes I just look through my sister's Instagram at pics of her, and it never fails to make me smile! Hope to get to see her again soon!!!

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 ...
