Springggg Has Sprung

 Hiii!!!

It's Spring, and the weather is FINALLY beginning to cooperate! Lately it's been like 80 degrees one day, and then it's back to being 50 the next day. We had a few nights last week at baseball games where we froze our butts off at the fields. So not cool. I am beyond ready for the warm weather to be here for good! Lake days are calling my name...

So I thought I'd do a little "life lately" post in pics. We've been staying busy with the kids, as always. Baseball started a few weeks ago, so it's pretty much chaos with games every night of the week! We celebrated Liam turning 13, which is crazyyyy. He was only 9 when I met him! 

I've gotten the Jeep out a few times now that we've had some warmer days, and surprisingly picked it back up pretty quickly! I am still just driving it through the neighborhoods, but it makes me happy! I'm gonna just keep practicing and get it back out on the roads without being terrified-that's the goal, at least.

Oh-I got a tattoo over the weekend! This is my third. It was totally spur of the moment, which is always the case when it comes to my tattoos and piercings. I've been wanting to do something for a while now with Matt's favorite bible verses-Philippians 1:20-21.  

"For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die. For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better."






That's all for now! Byeee!

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...
