The Newly Weds! Married since December 13, 2007 and Loving It!! WE MADE IT TO 22 MONTHS OF MARRIAGE!!!

Thursday, October 23, 2008

First and foremost, I have gone back to school! Kind of a last minute decision and I am fully engulfed in the curriculum. It is a program from SLCC for a certificate in medical coding and billing. So far, tons of memorization, but way interesting. Matt is still loving his history class and has been doing loads of x-tra credit so he doesn't have to write the 25-page paper due at the end of the semester :) He still hates math but is doing amazingly well. He has found a math instructor that is willing to sit down with him and chat about the stuff. This is good because I am a horrid teacher! I know the stuff, but am very impatient. We would end up yelling at each other about the problem at hand and once we came to a conclusion it would start all over on the next one. LOL! It's a good thing we have a great relationship.

This is where we spent our Conference Weekend, in the mountains. My uncle has built 3 cabins on his property in Sanpete County and it is gorgeous up there! Early Saturday Matt and my bro-in-law Steve went hunting (first day of hunt = VERY excited Matt!!) They came back drenched, cold, muddy, and Matt with a broad grin. He could even wring out lots of water from his coat! We left early unfortunately, due to snow.



Cute niece Ashley and her cup of hot chocolate, a staple on Staker family camping trips. It was only the Ed Staker clan, my parents and my sister Kelly's family that went up. It's just so peaceful.







My new toy!! I have been telling Matt that I want a Cannon camera since day one of our relationship. Well, he got me one!! I absolutely LOVE IT!! We need to do more stuff so I have more opportunities to use this beauty.





If I get a toy, so does Matt. These are our early Anniversary gifts. It is his AR - Left handed. Boys and their toys. Wait, I like the 'toys' just as much as he does...what happens then?






Every time we go to my parents house in Sanpete we go to a shooting range that the locals have set up. It is quite fun really! I get to see Matt so serious and running funny scenarios in his head and practicing how fast he can pull the gun from his holster. He loves this stuff and I love watching, I mostly get a chuckle out of it.





I don't look nearly as good. But it's fun!









As a 3-year old self found out, never, never stick your finger in the crack!
He (my Pop) is actually trying to get Patches out from under there so he can play with her.




What a funny kitty!! Need I say more?

The school thing is really cool. Good for you. I think the Tippetts need to hang out where hot chocolate is served.
