Life, Life, and More Life

I am a 25 year old Mainer working through life as a wife, teacher, and attempting to figure out who I am. My passions include reading, teaching, animals, experimenting with food, and my husband, Matt.

Yesterday

Yesterday was a very busy day for both of us. Matt went to work for 9 hours and I cleaned our apartment. There were still remnants of the previous occupant (including cat food under the fridge) and I wanted to get rid of it all. It took me a good 4 hours to clean EVERYTHING. Milo's cage got a good scrubbing and I even dusted the banister!
When Matt and I got home from work we were supposed to go to a BBQ that his professor was hosting. Matt intended to turn in his final reflection paper at the BBQ (not the best idea in my opinion) but he forgot to write the paper.....until 6:00 at night. Well, needless to say I spent an hour hanging around and waiting for him to finish the paper...getting more and more annoyed that he forgets everything....when finally he finishes at around 6:45. We head off to the BBQ and Matt turns in his paper. His professor says "we don't take those here!" and I am not sure if he was joking or not. He handed it in anyway and we left.
Matt was very quiet on the ride to campus and I asked him why. Lately the graduation thing has been getting to him and he feels disappointed. The big project he has been working on all year was not well received in the New Media community and he is heart broken. Poor Matt, I didn't know what to say to make him feel better. I hate the feeling that I get when there is nothing I can say or do to make him feel better. I love him so much that I don't want him to suffer in any way.
We got back to campus and moved out the rest of our belongings. All of our friends from school were going out to eat at Uno's as a graduation celebration. Matt and I were both feeling like we needed to get out and have some fun. Dinner was nice and Matt indulged in 4 glasses of Pepsi (I had Bailey's). Then, just as dessert came for those who ordered it, Matt fell asleep at the table. He had been up since 6 and was very tired (regardless of the Pepsi), so I took him home and put him to bed.
Overall we were very productive and Matt is still dealing with his sad feelings about graduating.
HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY TO OUR NEICE CAROLINE!!!
