Life Lately

 Heyyy!!! 

It's been a while since I've written, and I don't really have anything serious to blog about today. I was reading through my very first blog posts today, and they were so random, just about my day to day life, and it was kind of fun to read them! I kind of want to do more of those every once in a while.

Soooo life lately...

Well, I mostly have been working at the salon a lot. I also have a few clients that I train on the side. It has definitely been a big adjustment working as much as I do now, since I barely worked at all before Matt died. But it's been good for me to keep me busy. 

Besides work, I go to the gym...and that's about all I have time for! Of course, when we have the kiddos  on the weekends, we try to do fun things with them. We went on a hike a few weeks back, had a Halloween party, and then last weekend went trunk or treating!










It's crazy that this is my life now, but I love those kiddos so much!!

As I was driving to work today, I was just thinking about where I was a year ago...I had good days, but I wasn't good. No matter how I looked on the outside, I was not okay. I still have my bad days now, and I still have waves of grief that come and make me want to cry all the time...but compared to last year, I am better. Things will never be the same as they once were...because having your husband die, especially at such a young age freaking SUCKS. But...we survive.

Anyways....hope ya'll all have a FABULOUS weekend and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

    I started on COPD Herbal treatment from Ultimate Health Home, the treatment worked incredibly for my lungs condition. I used the herbal treatment for almost 4 months, it reversed my COPD. My severe shortness of breath, dry cough, chest tightness gradually disappeared. Reach Ultimate Health Home via their website www.ultimatelifeclinic.com . I can breath much better and It feels comfortable!

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 ...
