Lazy people

Everyone knows Matt and I are poor college students but yet there are people so lazy they have to steal from us. We were sitting at the Rumbi Grill in Provo yesterday when Matt received a call. It was the credit card company asking us if we had made a purchase for 400 dollars in Vegas. Some loser got the information for one of our credit cards and tried to use it to buy booze at CVS pharmacy. We do not know how they got it because we both have our cards and have not shopped in Vegas lately. Lucky for us the card was declined. Not that we did not have the money but our card does no allow us to charge that much at one time. I am so peeved about it because people are so dishonest and lazy. GET A JOB LOSER!!! Stop trying to ruin other peoples lives.

Cooking

Recently Rene and I have come to an agreement for me to help make dinner three times a week. It is the least I can do living in their house for free. Lately I have just been making food I know how to make or read from a cook book but tonight Rene and I went to lady in our wards house to learn how to make tamales. I am not a fan of tamales but I do like knowing how to make a wide variety of foods. We made a dozen tamales each and I just hope Matt will eat them because I do not think I will. The lady teaching us has at least 10 cookbooks published. She must know what she is doing. She has this class every month where she teaches us a new recipe. Next month we are making healthy meatballs for spaghetti. I do not care if they are healthy but I do want to know how to make meatballs. I figure I can substitute the turkey for elk.

The Bee's Knees

Since Christmas Matt and I have been extremely busy with the baby, school, and work. Matt's job is very tiring because, unlike his other job, he is always doing something. We both thought he would have more time to do a little homework but this hospital is a little stricter than the one in Logan. Matt is kind of like a dispatcher for the housekeepers. The nurses discharge someone and it is his job to assign a housekeeper to clean it. He also has to make sure they are always working. They have no down time because if they do not have rooms to clean they have busy work.

As for me, I have been staying home with the baby and trying to keep up with school. I am taking 12 credits in order to graduate. It has not been to bad yet but I am afraid I may have bitten off more than I can chew.

The baby is doing great. He is growing and straining my back every time I pick him up. He is only 11 pounds but he gets heavy. He still does not sleep all the way through the night but he is getting better. He only gets up one or two times to eat. It is hard because those of you who know me know I do not do well getting up when I am really tired. Matt helps out by getting up once and then I usually get up the second time.

Matt and I are all moved in to his parents basement. I has been really good but sometimes I feel stuck. I am home alone most of the day and I tell my self I am going to accomplish something but I almost never get around to it. I will start doing something then the baby will cry and I will have to hold him or feed him. It is ok but I feel like a slacker. I would go out an do stuff but we are trying to save money and when I go out I always spend money. Rene (Matt's mom) and I decided that I could help her out and make dinner three times a week. She works as a vice principle and does not get home until after six most nights. It gives me a chance cook new things. I have really been enjoying it thus far.

Fireworks

The holidays were great!! Matt and I had a great Christmas break in Arizona. We spent the holiday riding four-wheelers and shopping. Havasu is so pretty and I can not wait to go back. The whole city is a big playground. If we wanted we could have rode the four-wheelers all around town. There is no grass, just dirt everywhere. The town also has the old London Bridge. It is pretty neat because they actually moved it from London to Arizona. I guess it was sinking and the Brits were going to tear it down so some rich guy bought it and had it sent to Havasu.

Matt was so sweet and bought me a Garmin because he knows I am not good at getting around on my own and we did just move to Provo. The baby had a great time too, I think. He is not able to tell me yet. He was very spoiled over the holiday by his grandparents on both sides. He got new clothes and toys.

The New Year was really fun as well. Matt and I invited a high school friend and his wife to come and shoot fireworks off. Matt's brothers are crazy and spent tons of money on all sorts of fireworks. It ended up being a great show. Baby Matt even had a great time. Of course he did not make it until midnight but I think he tried. I was not sure I was going to make it either but since we had company I stayed up. This year is going to be a great one because I will be graduating after this semester and will hopefully find a job. Then, Matt will be able to go to school full time and get done sooner.


On the first we went out to dinner with the whole family. Tiffany (Sister in-law) had her 27th birthday. We ended up going to Texas Roadhouse and as always it was great. They have the best prime rib around.
