Vacation Pics!

I'm back! Happy Monday!

We had a great time in Punta Cana celebrating our 10 year anniversary. The weather was perfect, but super windy, which was fine because it made it never feel too hot. We spent 5 days basically just bumming it on the beach.

Unfortunately, both of us did both get some food poisoning, but it didn't ruin our trip. Mine didn't start until the second to last day, but I'm still feeling the effects. We got one full body workout in Tuesday at the gym, but then Matt got sick on Wednesday. I had planned on doing another full body workout on Friday, but then I got sick Thursday night. Needless to say, I  didn't work out and was on an all carb diet for a couple of days because meat just didn't appeal to me at all. Cereal and chips got me through, since that's all that sounded good. But enough about that!

Today is our 10 year wedding anniversary! We've been through a lot together in the last 10 years, and there is NO one else I'd rather have by my side. A lot has changed, but our love for one another has not. I'm so blessed and thankful beyond words to have this man in my life.

Here are some pics from beautiful Punta Cana!

  1. Happy anniversary! Sorry to hear about your food poisoning. I got it twice in Guatemala and it was just the worst, but at least I had a month to deal with it. I hope it didn't ruin your vacay too much! I love the pics. Adding this to my travel bucket list!

    1. Thanks! Yeah, it wasn't fun but it really didn't ruin our trip. Thankfully it was towards the end! Luckily our spot on the beach was close to our room! ;) We really had a great time, and it was a beautiful place!

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 ...
