VENTING

This summer seams so much harder then last summer.  I think back to last summer and life just seamed to go by so much smoother. I don't get it.  Our house is hotter then ever and i thought when we moved in it would be cooler down her in a basement but i was oh so wrong.  Last summer Matt and i made quite a bit more money because he was working like 3 times as much as he now. now he only gets like 2 to 3 hours a day which is not much.  It just seams like we have more bills this year and making less money.  This is a bad thing.  Matt and I try so hard to keep our credit card paid off and put money in savings which we are still doing but it just seams like our money is just vanishing and neither of us is really spending it.  (we do have money from 3 of Matt's pay checks that we have not used because we just really want to save so that's maybe why it feels like we don't have money when we really do, Please don't think we are super poor and starving cause we aren't i just need to vent my frustration.)
  One thing that i really wish for is that Matt could find a career job.  He just graduated so i know i have to be patient but it feels like we are just stuck.  I feel like we are not moving forward or backward we are just here.  I know it takes time to get a job so hopefully he will soon!  I really like my job and i am good at it so if he could get a job here that would be awesome but i don't think that will happen, but i am glad i get to do something i like and i am able to make enough money to pay rent, which is my whole pay check but at least it gets paid.  (i know that was a really long run on sentence)  anyways i feel better now, i think i just needed to vent a little.

Birthday!

A few weekends ago it was my 21st birthday and Matt and I went to st. George and went shopping ! It was so fun! Matt was so cute and he did not complain at all he just pretended he really liked shopping :) we both got some clothes and some yummy food!! It really was such a great birthday!!
Tomorrow I think we are going to my grand parents! I have not been there for so long. At first we were not going to go but my grandma called and I just could not sat no I just felt so bad so I said that we are comming. It should be fun I think!
Tonight we went running and seriously i want to be a runner but i am not sure i will ever be.  We ran down to Wendy's and back and around campus.  It does not sound like that far but for me it was.  I was running a lot like  a month ago but i was running just around our block and its on a hill and after a while i got this huge bump on the side of my knee so i went to the doctor and its like an inflamed something that i cant remember but its from running up and down hills.  Retarded i know and that would only happen to me but hopefully i can get in shape with Matt running with me!

Recently

Ok so I feel like Matt and I have not really done anything exciting. We have just been working and hanging out with each other.  It is kind of nice not to have to do any homework or anything like that though.  We did get to go to Richfield to see my family and go to my best friends baby shower!! It was so fun to see my family, we don't really get the chance to go down there very often.  My friends baby shower was fun too! The night before i went over to her house and helped her family decorate the baby's room and it turned out so cute! It kind of made me want to have a baby but that will have to wait.  We spent the 4th with matt's parents, we went to the parade and had a bbq that night with some neighbors and family.  It was really nice to spend time with both our families.
This Sunday is my birthday!! I am so excited because i kind of just wanted to go shopping for my birthday so i have been trying to save money so we could go shopping.  Low and behold matt has been saving money for the last little while and yesterday he gave it to me!! it was like 600 dollars.  I am not spending even a 4th of it (most of it is going to fix both of our cars)  but he was also trying to make a point that we can just live off my paycheck and put his in savings when he gets it! But i am excited to go shopping with some of that money!!! :)
