Friday Ramblings & Faves

Hiiii!!! Happy Friday! Today is a snow day for me...sooo I figured I'd write a blog in my spare time. :)

So basically the whole city of Louisville and surrounding areas has completely shut down because of the potential to get anywhere from like an inch of snow to a foot throughout the day. That's pretty much how it always is here when snow is in the forecast. People completely panic!


We did get a few inches of snow Tuesday night, and it has been snowing a bit the last couple of hours. I was able to get my workout in this morning before the gym closed, but I cancelled my sessions for this evening. I'm hoping it really won't be that bad so I can still go in and deadlift tomorrow! Yeah, I can workout at home if I have to, but I just really wanna deadlift!!

Asher and I went out yesterday to do a snow photoshoot. ;) He just loves the snow.


Onto my faves of the week: 

I finished this book yesterday, and I really, really enjoyed it! Last year I read 35 books, and this year my goal is 50! I think I can do it if I stay off of Instagram at night. ;)


So I picked up a couple of new foundations to try the other day, and so far I really like both of these! My makeup obsession is getting out of control. I just keep wanting to try new things, I can't help it. It's fun! 


I bought this on sale a few weeks back, and I actually don't use it much as a bronzer. I really like it as eyeshadow! I'm learning that you don't always have to use products for their intended purposes!



I'm still watching tons of makeup videos in my spare time(I know, I need to get a life!), and I thought this one had some good ideas! 



I've been learning a lot and practicing some new things. Like my newest thing is learning to do winged eyeliner. I'm getting better, but still don't have it down quite right yet. It's hard because I have round and deep set eyes. So I can't really do it like most of the YouTubers do, or it just doesn't look right. Oh well, practice makes perfect!

Here are a few of my favorite fitness articles that I came across this week, so if you get bored, check 'em out:

We've decided that tomorrow's gonna be pizza for our treat meal of the week...so that's pretty much it for our exciting weekend plans! Hope you all have a great weekend!

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
