I know it's been a while and I am terrible at actually writing in my blog but here is an update on the past couple of months!
Alright in January we went on a cruise. Our first cruise (and probably last according to Matt). I thought it was awesome! We went to Universal Studios in Florida first and had an amazing time (Harry Potter World!!!!). The cruise left out of Florida and was a 4 day cruise to the Bahamas! Which was amazing! The weather was gorgeous and we had some awesome friends around. Oh the reason for our cruise? My friend Sandra was getting married! It was an amazing wedding in the Bahamas and she looked gorgeous! We got to know her hubby and he is a pretty great guy... (this makes me happy because Sandra is also pretty great). Soo the cruise was awesome.. not nearly long enough for me but also too structured for Matt (being on a boat and not able to leave.. also having to eat at a specific time --not really Matt's cup of tea).
On to February... Well February is a special month.. it's my birthday... it's also Valentine's day--a double whammy. So Matt planned an amazing birthday celebration for me and although 1 plan fell through he still made it an amazing day (last year on my birthday I had to work.. so that sucked... this day was 5000000000000000000x better). So he surprised me with Dinner at Joeys, then tickets to The Vow and then a visit to a hotel so it could be just us (we were still living at his parents). So that was my birthday/Valentines day, the rest of the month is a little bit of a blur. My family celebrated my birthday (the 14th) along with my little bro's birthday (on the 15th of February) at the Cheesecake Cafe and had an awesome dinner which Matt was too sick to attend sadly.. he seems to get sick a lot.
We moved in to a new apartment, we had been living with Matt's parents
to try and save money for a house. After 6 months we decided we could
probably wait a couple more years for a house and live in an apartment
for a while. Really good choice. It's hard to not have your own space.
We are really grateful for Matt's parents letting us live there though!
And now March.. Well the middle of February we moved.. March I unpacked (along with some help from my Mom) and Matt got sick.. for pretty much the whole Month. He had Bronchitis which (we think) turned into Pneumonia and then his lungs were inflamed.. he was on antibiotics twice and nothing seemed to work. I was making him take handfuls of pills a day trying to get rid of whatever the heck it was! Then one day.. it was just gone.. not sure what it was, not sure what cured it but still so very glad it's gone!
Lastly an April update. So I wanted to prank Matt on April Fool's day but I am not a very good pranker and totally forgot until the day of, which was a Sunday.. and apparently you can't prank after 12:00pm so I was too late. Well we got a fish! His name is Scofield. For those of you who were not Prison Break fans.. Scofield was the main character in that TV series. He was also nicknamed Fish by the inmates as well as Pretty by one in particular (T-bag). Anyway Matt and I loved that show and it is available on Netflix, we got in to watching it a while back and when the opportunity came to name a pretty fish I thought of Scofield (pretty good right?). We were fairly worried about this little Scofield because he wouldn't eat. You see I thought he hated us. He would take the little piece of food in his mouth, chew for 2 seconds and spit it out! How frustrating! We thought "if we kill this fish, we can't ever have kids". Well it turns out he was getting used to the place and now eats like 5 of those little pebble things a day. He is a healthy happy fish and we love him!
Well that is pretty much it for life updates. Matt also started painting Condo's this month. He is in charge of a crew and has a lot of new responsibilities along with some definite perks! It's pretty great. He is amazing at what he does! Me.. I am still working as a hygienist as well as a administrator and for the most part I like it. Some days it is rough but it's pretty good.
Hopefully that update was sufficient and I apologize it's not more comedic. I wish I was a comedian but it seems I try to hard! I hope everyone is well! If you want leave me a note to let me know I am not just writing to myself!
Much love,
Emily
