ready for summer

So, if you haven't guessed by now, Blogging hasn't been a big priority lately. But here's a little update about what we've been doing.

Easter went by, practically unnoticed. We were having some financial issues, due to the internet, we couldn't see where our money was going and when. (Don't get me started on the internet. Just don't.) So we postponed Easter baskets until the following weekend, which had nicer weather, I wore a new outfit to church, and we had Natasha and Nate over for dinner - so it felt much more like Easter.

In my basket (which was actually a flower pot) was some Nerd and sour candy, green flip flops, a kite, a Ferrero chocolate assortment, and a rubber ducky dressed like a pirate. <--- He was a big hit!


While I continue to work at the gym, and that other unmentionable place, Matthew started school. I know it's only been one week, but I've never seen him so diligent about school work. He literally goes to school, comes home and does homework, goes to work, does homework at work, and then comes home and does more homework! The real kicker is....he's in bed by 11pm. ELEVEN O'clock. Since I've known Matt, I've never seen him go to bed at 11.

Sheesh.

We had our first big fight. Matt was embarrassed because I yelled at the neighbors and I was mad because he didn't take my side. (He is waaaaaay more tolerant of teenagers than I am. I hated teenagers even when I was one.) I slept on the couch and we didn't talk for about 12 hours. Yeah, it was pretty monumental:)

We started speaking to each other again when I found out Sara (his sister) is expecting in December! I was really excited and wanted to tell him. I was anxious for us to get over the whole thing and start talking again, but I hadn't been sure what to say, since I'd already apologized. But a baby is always a good ice breaker and mender. When a baby comes along, you just kind of forget about all that petty stuff.

So yeah, we're over it. He will probably not like the fact that I shared that here, but I'm actually laughing about it now. Our first "sleeping on the couch" fight! But on a more serious note, I am working on my "people" skills.....*hehehe*

I've been trying to soak up as much time with Aubrey before she moves to another town at the end of the summer. Its worth it for me to keep working on that friendship even after she's not across the parking lot, but Matt thinks I need to make another friend. He says I'll be lonely. I know he's right, but my stomach does summer-salts every time I go up to talk to someone else.

Next topic.

So, I guess I'll talk about it now that Matt has told practically everyone he sees. The book is....written. We've been editing together. Surprisingly, it's really fun, and a lot more time consuming than I first estimated. But we can't wait to see the end result.

Oh, I got my hair cut for summer. I'll get some pictures up if Matt ever pulls his nose out of his Biology book. It's A LOT shorter. And I got what's called a "shadow box" where my hair is pretty much black underneath and streaked in the bangs. It's really cute. A little punkish, but still preschool teacher appropriate :)
