Things I'm Loving Friday

It's Fridaaay!! 

After two weeks of nonstop rain, it's finally been sunny lately, and I'm about to go get my float on here shortly. I'm hoping that it will continue throughout the weekend! 

Tonight is burger night, tomorrow is church and dinner at home, and then Celeste's birthday party is Sunday! I can't believe she'll be two years old tomorrow! She's growing up toooo fast. 

On to the things I'm loving lately...

~Getting a haircut!

I finally got my hair cut yesterday after 4 months. Boy, did it need it! I go way too long between cuts.

~Summer fruit
Usually we stick to apples, oranges and bananas in the winter, but Summer is for melon, and strawberries and these yummy organic grapes that I got on sale the other day!


~Cream cheese
I've really been loving this Greek yogurt cream cheese on my toast! It's so good.
~Sherbet Ice Cream
I had this sitting in my freezer for like a year and just suddenly had the craving for it after my workout this week, It's been sooo hot here lately, so it totally hit the spot! So much so that I had it twice this week!
~This quote
I came across this quote on Twitter and just HAD to share. It is spot on. I have lived this, and so I totally agree. I'm glad that I finally came to the point where I just had to say "oh well" about many things, because I refuse to live with fear and anxiety over food. There's no way I can eat perfectly, so I just do the best I can!

~Good Books
A few of the books I've enjoyed this Summer: Stolen, by Lucy Christopher, The Hidden Man, by David Ellis, Once We Were Brothers by Ronald. H. Balson, and Calling Me Home by Julie Kibler. I would defnitely recommend all of them. You can check out all the books I've read on Goodreads.com -I love that website to keep track of all the books I've read and want to read. The most recent one I finished is Big Little Lies, by Liane Moriarty. I really enjoyed it, and I just saw that they are going to be making it into a movie! I also really liked her book, The Husband's Secret.
~These cute faces!
My sister-in-law always posts the absolute cutest pics of my nephews, and I love it! In just a few weeks, we're going to visit the family in New York, and I can't wait to see these two.
~"Who I Am" by Blanca
This is the song I turn way up when it comes on the radio right now. Love her voice and the message! 
"I'm running to the One who knows me<
Who made every part of me in His hands
I'm holding to the One who holds me
'Cause I know whose I am, I know who I am"

  1. What do you ask for when you have your hair trimmed?? I love the layers you have & am wondering what to ask for! :-)

    1. Thanks! Well I just tell her now to shape everything up and trim the layers since I've been going to her for a while. Last time I asked for more layers around my face and also brought a picture to show her.

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
