January "Currently"

Happy Hump Day!
I thought I'd do a January "Currently", since I didn't do one for December.

Soooo, here goes....

I'm currently:

Eating-
This absolutely delicious creation:
I call it Hamburger Helper, because to me that's what it tastes like. I grew up on Hamburger Helper, and I don't know about you all, but I freaking love it. So for this I just use taco seasoned lean beef(I use a low sodium packet from McCormick), spaghetti sauce(no sugar added tomato & basil), and macaroni. That's it! And it's amazing.

Feeling-
A little bummed lately with Christmas being over, family drama, and the dreary weather. But that's the norm for me the first couple weeks of January. I'll get over it. At least Spring will be here in a couple of months!

 Wanting-
To be here again soon. No, NEEDING to be here again soon! As I write this, it is currently 9 degrees. NINE DEGREES. Maybe, just MAYBE there will be a beach trip in my future??


Reading- 
The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton. I really, really loved this book! It was one of those books that made me not be able to go to sleep at night because I wanted to keep reading it!

Watching- 
The New Celebrity Apprentice. We've been watching the Celebrity Apprentice for years now, and I love that now Arnold is the "boss"!

Loving-
This hashtag going around on the internet right now! #GainingWeightIsCool. I'm ALL ABOUT encouraging women to be okay with weight GAIN, and with loving themselves no matter what their body looks like, no matter if they're shredded or soft or fluffy or whatever. It's an awesome thing.

Also, all of these posts out there on the internet:

Wearing-
My favorite current lip products: NYX lipstick in Thalia, Wet 'N Wild lipstick in Bare It All, and my newest-NYX Intense butter gloss in Tres Leches(can  you tell I'm a fan of nudes?).

Obsessing over- 
This mascara.It's the best mascara I've tried so far! I have super short and straight eyelashes, so I am very picky about mascara and need ALL the help I can get! I love the brush on this one and how it clings to every eyelash as you brush it through. Makes my lashes both thicker and longer.

Listening to-
Testify by NEEDTOBREATHE. Love this song!



Excited about-
The Little Mermaid on Broadway on next month! Matt got us tickets for me for Christmas, because he knew I had said I would love to go. The Little Mermaid is my FAVORITE Disney movies of all time!

Enjoying-
my week off from the gym last week! I know it was definitely needed because honestly I didn't miss it one bit. Sometimes I'll take a deload and workout at home, but this week, I didn't want to do a DARN thing. I did do a short workout Friday and some light leg stuff Saturday, after 5 days of absolutely nothing-like, not even mobility work. I needed it. I enjoyed it. But now I'm excited to start a new workout plan!

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...

One Year...

One year ago today... the day it all changed. It was a Tuesday. I got the call from Matt around 3:00. I remember I was sitting at the computer at home. Matt told me that he was at the hospital, and that Bob Scott, his boss, had driven him there. Then he said those 4 words I never expected to hear: “The tumor came back.”  My heart stopped. Matt had gone in that morning for an MRI, as he has done numerous times in the past 10 years. He was now at the point where he had an MRI just yearly now, and that one was done in February, which showed that everything was fine. There was no sign of tumor growth, which had been the case for the last 10 years, praise God. But because Matt had been having some seizure activity for the last few months, they suggested he go in for another MRI in July. We then decided we should move up the appointment, because he had been having a headache every day for the past week. Good thing we did.... After I hung up with Matt,  I immediately brok...
