Cakes

      So I decided to take a cake decorating class at Joann's.  Matt's parents bought it for me for Christmas.  I was so excited but it didn't start till this month (march).  It is every Thursday at 6:30.  It is a lot of fun. I am in the beginner class so my cake is not super cool or anything but its still a cake!! Anyways here is my cake.  We had the choice to do a fish design or a hamburger.  I chose the Hamburger because everyone else did the fish.

Don't mind that I look terrible we were there for 3 hours.

Week 16!!

Matt is on week 16 out of 19!!!!  I am so excited.  He is doing so good in the Academy but I think he is ready to come home!  I have flown down twice since Christmas.  I went down Presidents day weekend in February.  We had not seen each other in 8 weeks.  It was so long.  I can't believe we went that long without seeing each other.  I am glad its over.  We didn't really get to do much because he had a ton of home work and studying to do.  But at least we were able to be together!! Then I had to come home after 3 days of being there. I did not want to leave.  Saying good bye is the worst.  But i knew i would be back in 3 weeks!! I flew down last Friday!! We had so much fun together.  This time Matt still had homework but not as much so we decided to go to the Zoo.  It was fun we spent all day there.  So now Matt is on week 16.  He has liked the academy but it has also been really hard.  A few weeks ago they had to do this thing called Red Man.  One Recruit (matt) is placed in a boxing ring with two Training officers.  Then its full on two against one boxing and anything goes.  No rules not nothing.  Matt had to go against two officers that were over 200 pounds and over 6 feet tall.  I felt so bad for him.  He got beet up pretty bad.  He sent me pictures and his face we bruised.  It was terrible.  Then the next week he had to get pepper sprayed.  He said it was the worst thing ever.  He said it was like getting a really bad sun burn and then being right next to the sun.  His graduation is coming up and i am so excited to go.  We get to see him post colors for one last time and then see him sworn in!!  It also means he is coming home!!!!  I am really proud of him.  He really has grown a lot.   Then he has two days off and starts work again at the port of entry!

Here are some pictures of our Zoo Trip!
