The married life

The first 3 months of married life have been superb!

I have been busy continuing to work on my masters degree. I have started substitute teaching for APS. It has been an exciting transition from corporate America into the world of education. Along with my transition, I have been met with many germs. I look at it that I am building my immune system to prepare me for my own classroom. I start my student teaching in January. Contrary to what I had thought, I will be doing my student teaching under the direction of Barb Howell. She is Mrs. Walker's neighbor in the classroom. She will certainly be exciting to work with.

Matt has been studying up a storm for his Financial portion of the CPA. In fact, that is where he is as I write this entry to the blog. I am positive this exam with be a success! He has been traveling a bit for work including being out of town for my birthday. But we made the most of it when I went to visit him on my birthday and we went to a nice dinner. He's been working hard and is a fantastic provider. (I really did marry my Prince Charming!)


We have continued to grow together as a couple. With me not working full time, we enjoy spending time with each other doing things that do not cost much.We really enjoy cooking and baking together. Just yesterday, we spent most of the day in the kitchen baking 3 batches of French bread to take with us to the Thanksgiving feasts we have been invited to. We also try to sneak in a Netflix movie whenever we can.

Scrappy and Buster are living it up in the Walker house. They have each managed to get special "Princess" blankets out of us to cuddle on at night. These pups are about as spoiled as they come. Buster is receiving a special diet because of course, the little princess has a food allergy. Being home with them more often has given me a chance to become familiar with their daily routine and what they want with their seemingly constant nudges to go "outside". Although we like to tease them that they are mentally slow, these two are quite smart and have learned that o-u-t-s-i-d-e means outside.

Well, life awaits!
