Friends

Matt and I ran in a half marathon on Saturday morning as part of preparations for the Marine Corps Marathon next month. It was gorgeous out, an awesome course, and we were dead tired at the end which means we need to seriously step up our training...
So we had some good friends visit us on Sunday. I should say that Matt and I have not had one social event all month. Yes, that is correct. Between 11-12 hour work days, commutes, school, running, and trying to have time to also help out his folks we have no spare time whatsoever. So to have friends come and visit us was a real treat. It was a breath of fresh air to hang out with an engaged couple. I love love!
Drew and Stacey's story is similar to ours in that they courted long distance and have a miracle ring story. They are affectionate and affirming with each other and it was delightful to be around. Matt and Drew have known each other for over a decade. The storytelling was so funny!
I can hardly stand it when Matt's nose scrunches - it is one of my very favorite things about him, because he laughs so much. I am one blessed woman!
He stayed up late writing a paper on Sunday night. What a stud. I am really looking forward to when our schedule slows down, tho. I really miss spending time with other couples. We feel bad turning down invites and not taking initiative with inviting folks over. Well, then there is the other issue which is our living situation...more on that later.

Happy Monday, all!
