November "Currently"

This is what I'm currently....

 Eating:

 Tacos!

I've been loving our Friday taco nights. We still do burgers sometimes, but we have just been in the mood for something different lately. We use Old El Paso shells, lean ground beef, low sodium taco seasoning, and salsa. Always with a bunch of veggies on the side. So yummy! 


Reading:

 Book #36 for the year! This was pretty good.

Doing:

I've partnered with PrayFit to help raise money for special needs children and those without access to clean water. I'm dedicating my workouts to the cause, and I would sooo appreciate it if you would consider making a donation or joining my team to help fundraise! 

Wearing:

Booties! Is that even what they're called? Ankle boots? Who knows. Anyway, I'm not trendy whatsoever, but I think these are really cute!


Smiling:

when I see photos like this on my Facebook newfeed! I mean, cuteness overload.


Thinking :

About how I'm going to get ALL my Christmas shopping done by the end of November! I'm definitely NOT one of those last minute people, as I try to avoid the stores at all costs in December. I got started this week and just have a few more things to get ....and then I'm DONE! 

Loving:

This scripture-

Looking forward to:

Thanksgiving and putting up my Christmas tree next week! I can't wait for all the yummy food and then Christmas lights and Christmas music and time with family...I love the holidays! And yes, I'm putting up my tree BEFORE Thanksgiving, so suck it all you haterssss!!!!!

Singing:

 This song! Gets stuck in my head, but that's a good thing. Praisin' God all day long!

Excited about...

My new camera! My in-laws got this for me as a Christmas gift, because they know how much I love my photos. I've always wanted a really nice camera, but learning to use it is a bit overwhelming. I mean, yeah, I could just set it on auto, but I want to learn how to take better photos and use the different settings on it. Guess it'll just take a lot of practice!

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
