1/4 Completed

Yes, another Matt update. : )

As of this past Monday it has been 4 weeks since he has been gone. We have 12 more weeks to go!
I have had a lot of people ask if I have been able to talk to him. The answer is yes. We have been able to to skype and gmail chat quite a bit. However, the last time I have talked to him was Saturday night and I won't get to talk to him until the 18th or 19th. So far I have been okay with this but I am sure in a few days it will hit me.

The reason why I can't talk to him for 13 days is because he is in Nicaragua staying with a host family for 5 days and then doing "touristy" stuff the next 5 days. There are 2-3 days of travel in there to get back to his QUERC station.

He emailed me these 2 pictures from a hike they went on. 

I think after these 2 weeks are done time will fly by and Matt will be home. I have staying busy with work, soccer, and babysitting Rhys. My free time, I am getting to spend time with friends and I have actually enjoyed my alone time! I have a Valentine's date with Lori that I am super excited about too.
