Let the Studying Begin!

Studying...It's a way of life for Mr. Matt. When he's not in class, he's studying, minus breakfast and dinner. Consequently, breakfast and dinner time have become my Matt time - My favorite parts of the day. Before coming out here, I had realized I would have to say "see you laters" to our family, but not my Matt. However, it's happened, and it's okay. We're still hopelessly in love. I always ask for 5 more minutes of his time, and he always gives it to me. He even made time to take me to pick up a job application the other day, and dress up with me in his doo-rags and play Gangster. Matt's been absolutely wonderful, and even though he's gone, he makes sure I never feel forgotten. I love him so. I'm just trying to learn how to play that supportive wife role, but also not feel neglected. I think I'm doing pretty good so far...just an adjustment. Luckily, we have friends.

Matt and Christian Study...

And Nicki and I explore LA farmer's markets, window shop for things we can not afford, watch dancing with the stars, try new recipes, have girl talk, etc. I love her company. She's becoming an adopted sister of mine!

I call my dad a lot, and my mom too. It's that daily dose of home, I need - since I'm a bit of a weenie stink, whether it's Tara, Stacy, Dad, Brett, Jalyn, Mom, Kimbo, Grandma, or Grandpa on the phone, I just am SO thankful I have someone to talk too or email. Thank goodness for my little cell phone, Family, Friends, and my dear Mr. Matt!

  1. wow that is quite an update!! 3 posts at a time. great job! every thing sounds great. Busy for Matt, but great for you. :) Nice job on the pancakes. They look nice and fluffy. Rumor has it, the less you stir the batter the fluffier they will be. You'll have to experiment and see if it's true. I have a recipe for some great pinapple pancakes and for some high octane pancakes (healthier, but not as yummy and fluffy) and I was just getting online to find a zucchini pancake recipe when I checked your blog. I'll send them to you when I get a sec. love ya
