I am a new author :) I was so tired of being signed in and out of my email and blog because you are supposed to have one with the other, well at least it works better. I dont think it is the most efficient way to post but... O WELL! At least i will always be signed in.
We are currently having a doozy of a storm, it was labeled light flurries. I went to pick Matt up at UNB and the roads weren't great but everyone was taking their time and going slow, so that is usually better. I got to UNB and I couldnt get up the hill. I'm sitting there trying to remember everything everyone has tried to teach me ( I would name names but there are far too many.) i finally made it into the parking lot and I tild matt about 5 times how glad I was that I didnt have to drive anymore.
We had some chicken fingers and watched Madagascar 2 It was a lot of fun and good time with Matt. He was supposed to have an exam tonight but it was cancelled along with GEMS. So he is spending the night studying, he has a lot going on, so I am trying not to be disruptive. I took down the curtains and dusted them off and then everything fell of the ledge "amanda" style. Then I broke a light in the string of lights that are still above my window... yeah... I still have a garland up. I was going to put it in the closet but Matt likes it up and thinks it looks to bare without it and there really is NO room in the closet anyway, so up it stayed. Then I really nicely asked Matt with a smile and everything to lift up the staircase where I keep the spare stuff and get me something... and he did. I was so good at not distracting him.
Now I am slightly bored. I have a few cards that I should make but I like watching TV while I do that, but that would be just plain distracting. so I decided that you guys might like an update.
Other than that though, the excitement is limited to me falling asleep on the couch every night and Matt studying until he can't keep his eyes open anymore. Not very exciting, belive me, im living in it.
BUT I am happy. Matt said we could go try out our new skates tomorrow night after work, so i am pumped about that. Then Saturday I am going (while Matt studies) to a church sledding party thing then Matt and I are going out for supper in the evening. So lots of nice time for us :)
Anyway. I am talking to bec on MSN so I should go!
Lub you all!

Wow... I should never have doubted you.....
O you faithful readers you... all this checking has finally paid off!
Since I had so many comments I thought I should write again. It is already almost 10 and I just finished making Matt's valentime's card. I think he will love it and I am looking forward to our date on saturday night. We are going to a random church that we heard about on the radio and we are going there to see a movie called "Fireproof" You can youtube it to see a trailer if you so desire. :) I looks like a good movie. Dad might also wander over this way, so we got an extra ticket just in case he does make it. Wouldnt want him to come only to leave him all alone. hehe. He is also coming out for supper with us... if he comes. He really inst sure yet. He has things that he needs to do on the mainland, but he isnt sure if this is the weekend that he will make it over. otherwise in March, which would be just as great. I think that I am going to ask him to bring my violin.. and the books that went with it. I think I will give it another go so that I can play for the praise team at church. BUT I am not sure if I actaully will or not. I mean, I do live in an apartment and I wouldnt want to be evicted either. It might be small, but it is way cozier than outside. So we'll see what happens.
Matt and I went grocery shopping tonight, we havent gone since Jan.5. His lunch supplies were getting down to the bare minimum, although last week I dont think he had anything for his lunches because I didnt have time to cook suppers with leftovers. So on Sunday I made sweet and sour meatballs (with tante karens awesome recipe with teriyaki sauce instead of beef broth... MMMMM) and it was enough to make 9 meals... hehe. So there are still two in the freezer. We ate it for lunch and supper on sunday and we both ate it for supper on Tuesday and the other ones he had for lunch. Then last night I made spaghettii, with enough leftovers for the rest of the week. So we were so hungry shopping that we bought lots of yummy yummy food. We bought fish cakes and ice cream and chippys and I just could decide what I wanted to eat first. We had chicken burgers for supper with lettuce that I bought last time we went grocery shopping (which you can note bove was jan 5) and it was fresh crispy and delish! topped with fresh off the red vine tomatos (it said so on the sign at sobeys) Then we had chocolate chip cookie dough brownie ice cream.
Now Matt is studying for a test that is worth thirty percent. So I have to be really quite and not help the wrong things get into his brain.
Other than that, I had a pretty good day at work. Nothing too out of the ordinary except for some exceptionally cooked talapia fish. I like that kind because it tends to have less of a fishy taste.
Anyway.. I am really rambling here and i should get to bed since I have GEMS tomorrow night and then babysitting after... which I will also be doing on Friday night.
Alright. Lub you all, hope things are great in your lives and it was relly great to hear from all of you!
Love Matt and Amanda

to those of you who wondered at my existance
I wonder how long it will take people to find this? I would have stopped checking by now. Everyone seems to have written as many as five posts in my absence so I do feel the need to catch up. I am about to leave to go see my friend Ashley in the hospital.She has ulcerative colitis, right now she is on an IV in the hospital and she is not allowed to eat anything for 7-10 days. Hopefully it will help her. She has had a rough go of it this year and your prayers would be appreciated.
Matt has been really busy studying lately. I think mid-terms are coming up and a lot of assignments are due. He is working really hard though and I think he is really staying on top of his work. So that is good. We dont get to spend a lot of time togehter. But the time we do spend together is really great.
Yesterday I went to a Ladie's day out with some of the ladies in our church and we scrapbooked the day away. I was intrduced to a variety of gadgets like the cricut... that cuts out letters, words and patterns for you. And then another thing that you put your stuff in and then you turn a knob and it puts glue on it for you... so many fun toys and gadgets. hehe. I really enjoyed it, and then we had to a "crop" we had a design a week before we went and we all had to do the same design and the prize was a package of paper. and I won... I think it was because they thought I needed the extra encouragement. haha. it was sucha good time though and I think I would go again. :)
Other than that... I can't think of anything super duper exciting to share. There is a lot of snow here like everywhere else and our car has been starting better. We got a new battery that is still not in the car since the old one has a siezed rusty bolt... so who knows if the new one will ever be in the car :)
Anway, Matt needs the computer to do some studying so i might write again sometime:) love you and thanks for reading and mostly for actually checkiong, it means a lot to know that you care.
Love MAtt and AManda
