January Slacker

OK, so I have been a blogger slacker for the past week or so. It's not because we have been busy, but because I haven't taken any pictures, and I like posts with pictures. But - just to get one out I will post with no pics and come back later.


Last week was my birthday! Yep, I am 29 now. My birthday was on a Monday - which is never any fun - but on Sunday night I was able to go to my parent's house and play with my family for my birthday that was fun. Monday Matt took really good care of me. He sent me flowers and work, and put "Happy Birthday" banners up all over the house. (I still haven't taken them down). It snowed really hard that day - but we braved it and went out to dinner. It was a wonderful birthday.


Not much else has really happened since then. I took the first part of my CIA (certified internal auditor) exam last Friday. I was stressed out because I wasn't sure what to expect, but I passed. I have two more sections to go and then I should be done with tests for a long time.


Matt's friends came up on Saturday and we went out to dinner and then the boys played board games. We had a good time.


Matt started school up again today. He is taking a few classes down at the U, but this should be his last semester and then he will be officially graduated. I know I am excited for that. It is going to be a hard semester - mostly for me - because I am used to having Matt around all the time and he is going to be focused on school. But we will make it though, and it will be good training for me because he intends to get his Master's degree someday too, so I need to get used to being the wife of a student.


So that is our life of the past few weeks. I am looking forward to spring - is it here yet?

I can give you a few pointers on being a student's wife...I've only been one for 9 years! Happy Belated Birthday.

I am ready for spring, too! Just, what, 3 more months?

I had never thought of how being the wife of a student is different, but I guess IT IS! I have been the mother of students. But I'm sure Matt would not appreciate being nagged at to get his homework done. tee hee
