Blessed

I've been thinking lately about how glad I am that Matt and I ended up in Des Moines for medical school. I don't think there could be a more perfect situation for us than what we have right here. Matt and I talked the other night about how blessed we feel to have such great friends and a great ward to help us through these couple of years. Even though we miss being close to family, it's awesome to know that there are people around who care about us and who we can turn to for anything.

Another thing I was thinking about is how fortunate I am to have such a great husband. I don't want to get too sappy, but can I brag about him for a minute? Last week he helped moved four or five different families (in the scorching heat). He single-handedly planned an awesome Dutch oven campfire get together with over 30 friends (I was seriously shocked at how well he took care of everything). And every Sunday he goes to the church around 7:00 a.m. and most of the time he doesn't get home until 4:00 p.m., but he never, ever complains. Matt'll be embarrassed by this and probably take it off, but he knows I'm just going to keep putting embarrassing things about him on our blog until he posts an entry. :)

Not much new is going on in our lives. Classes started up for Matt a couple of weeks ago. He hasn't been too busy, but things'll pick up a lot this week. I'm just working and waiting for my Breaking Dawn book to arrive. :) And then I have big plans to lounge by the pool all day, reading my book.
