September "Currently"

Happy Friday! It's time for this month's "currently" post!

I'm currently...

Eating ...
NitroTech crunch bars!
MuscleTech just sent me a box of the cinnamon bun flavor to sample...and oh my gosh. Probably the best protein bar I've ever tasted.

 Drinking...
LaCroix Passionfruit sparkling water. I really like this flavor!

I love my diet Pepsi, but I try to limit it to once or twice a week. This does the trick when I'm craving something carbonated, which is usually at dinner. I've only tried this flavor and lime, and this one is way better than lime.

Reading... 
The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom. Really enjoying this one!

Doing...
Rollerblading!
I've been on a rollerblading kick lately! We had a few really nice, lower humidity days, so I dusted off the ol' rollerblades and went for spin. I forget sometimes how much I enjoy rollerblading. Reminds me of being a kid, skating up and down the street where I grew up.

 Watching...
Blindspot

Season 3 just started back last week! This pretty much the one show that my husband and I enjoy
watching together. Otherwise he likes to watch wrestling, which I hate, and I like my real housewife shows, which he hates!

Thinking about...
How great is was to catch up with old friends. I had a few of my old middle school and highschool friends over a few weeks back since I haven't seen some of them in over 10 years!
We laughed and laughed for hours looking at old photos and home videos. It was a good time! We had to re-create this photo of us from 8th grade. How cool is that?

Excited about....
Starting my new leg program, eating more, and hopefully growing some quads and glutes! Higher rep squats SUCK, but it's what I gotta do!

Enjoying...
Date night! Last weekend Matt and I went out for ice cream at The Widow's Walk Ice Creamery right across the river. It was a beautiful day for a drive in the Jeep, and there was a great view of the Louisville skyline. I got a chocolate peanut butter cup brownie sundae with caramel sauce and Reese cups. So yummy.


Feeling...
Happy about seeing my family a couple weeks ago for my brother's birthday dinner.
I hadn't seen my brother in a while. He goes through phases of depression and extreme anxiety, so it's good to see him with a smile on his face! I love them!

Listening to...
Priceless by For King & Country. Great song, great lyrics.

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

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

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
