Police Academy

         Well Tuesday Matt found out that he is going to the police academy in Arizona on Sunday.  It's kind of quick I know.  He was on the waiting list to get in if someone dropped out and some one did!  Tuesday I was kind of emotional about it because that means he will be gone till the end of April.  I am also nervous for him because it like going to boot camp, really it is intense.  But I am proud of him for getting in and I am excited for him.
         This week has been a bit stressful because we have to get Matts stuff all ready to go.  Everything has to be to the T, really that an understatement.  His gym shorts have to be navy blue with a logo that is no bigger then a quarter, only white plain t shirts to run in.  Gray dress pants with a crease and no cuff on the pants, and the list goes on  and on and on.
         The Arizona Department of Transportation is paying for his housing (in the Marriott), food (room service anytime) and they are sending him down with a car, gas card, and a phone.  So really we don't have to pay for anything which is great!!  He will get to come home for Christmas we think but we really are not sure. I will miss him but it will be so worth it when he is done!!
         By the way i don't know why "matt and ashlee" comes up twice on the picture i have tried to get it off.

Many Changes

       Well my last post I told everyone about matt's new job!  He loves it and I am so glad he does.  He hated his old job and he only worked 2 hours a day so his pay checks were not very big.  I am glad he now is working a full time job because it takes a lot of pressure off me to make sure the rent and bills get paid.  Seriously it has been a relief.
        We have also moved!! Yes finally and I LOVE LOVE LOVE our new apartment.  Our old one was alright and really if it was not so cheap we would not have been able to make it our first year and half of marriage.  We really had some hard times but we managed to barley make it.  Our new apartment is much nicer though and we have our own washer and dryer.  I was so tired of sharing and only being able to wash on tuesdays and fridays
       This semester is almost over and it is my last!! I am so ready to be done with school.  I just have  a few more big assignments to do and then it will be over.  I will graduate with my Bachelors in Criminal Justice with a minor in psychology.  Yay!!!
       Anyways sorry this post so random but I just thought I would update everyone about all the changes in our life :).
