Time to catch up! So after the honeymoon was over and all of the fun celebrations we knew real life had to begin. We were actually really excited to get back into the swing of things until the cold and homework hit us.
When we got up to Idaho we were assistant managers at Camden BYU-I girls housing. We stayed there for just about a month until Brendi, Rusty, and the kids moved back to California. We took over their management position and the house that came with it (Thank you Scott and Sherri!). We are so lucky to have room to fit all of our things in one place and trust me we have a lot of things : ) We de-junked a lot when we moved in but I think Matt is still amazed at the amount of kitchen supplies that I have. It has been really fun making our first real home together! I will post pictures later. Here are a couple of picture of some decorating that Matt did while we were unpacking : ) If you can't tell our walls are covered in sports paraphernalia... he was really sad when I took it down.
As far as school goes, Matt is keeping super busy with his Accounting and Spanish classes. He is getting really good grades, which we decided was from being married and anti-social : ) just joshin'! He is doing really well though. I am taking two nursing classes and so it would be pretty embarrassing if I did poorly in those. It has been super nice because I don't go to class more than once every two weeks. I have my last class of the semester tomorrow! I really like on-line classes.
With work we have both been trying to figure out this managing thing and the best way to get everything done. We are both bugging Brendi and Rusty a ton but I think we are starting to get a good hang of it. Matt has a new opinion about the single girls at BYU-I and is, thank goodness, very glad that he is married : ) They keep him busy. I am attempting to look for an RN job when I get sometime away from the house, but there hasn't been much success. I am planning on searching in Idaho Falls when I get a free day.
We are having a good share of fun so far. Two weeks into the semester, before Idaho froze over, we went on a camping trip with the Valentine boys, Cameron, Court, his date Hayley and a couple of my roommates Joy and Haylee. It was a ton of fun! We made tinfoil dinners and ate them with wooden silverware that the boys carved for us (we forgot forks) and we roasted stuff over the fire. The next day we all hiked up to the Wind Caves and did a little spelunking! It was the most intense caving I have ever done! There were a lot of really narrow tunnels that you had to wiggle through on your back and there was a big hole that the boys repelled down and climbed back up in order to get to the back of the caves where there is a big waterfall. The girls stayed behind because we were pretty scared of Cameron's special repelling gear. It was all really pretty and way nice to do just before the Winter hit.
Matt, Court, Cameron, Ben, and Adam formed a flag football team this Fall with a couple of their buddies. It was really fun to go watch even though I didn't know what was going on half of the time. Matt scored a lot of touchdowns and he says I missed them all because twice I was late to the game but really I was probably there I just couldn't tell exactly when he did touchdown : ) (He is teaching me). They are finished now with the games but I think they are glad because it is getting extremely cold at night lately. We are really dreading the snow : (((
Okay, I have to post this one special picture in here about Adam Valentine's birthday. They tied these two helium balloons to go under his chin and they sang him a birthday song! I couldn't stop laughing and had to take a picture so here it is! I hope you all enjoy this as much as I did!
Matt and I had our first Halloween together a couple of weeks ago : ) We carved pumpkins and on Halloween night we watched a really silly scary movie and handed out candy to the little kids that came to our door. They were SO CUTE!!! I think my favorite was this little girl that came in a fluffy triceratops costume! (Okay I just realized that the Sarah from Land Before Time probably came from the fact that she was a tri-CERA-tops! Haha!)

Okay one last funny picture. Matt and I have been trying to eat really healthy since it seems to be come that we people get married they care less and eat more. So we have been having fun experimenting with new things like this mini George Foreman grill that we got from Wal-Mart. Matt really likes it : ) Don't worry those burgers were like 2% fat and they are delicious!
