Matt

I haven't posted anything about Matt in a while - and now is a perfect time! (The kids are all still sleeping and I am alone at the computer! haha) Much has been happening in his life it seems. He finished up his first year of college and is now on summer break. He recently came down with mono, which had him quite sick for a time with fever, aches, horrible sore throat and overwhelming exhaustion. He could hardly swallow and was taking steroids for swelling and codeine for pain. He was home for two weeks straight without working, and I have to say that though I wished he weren't sick, I really enjoyed seeing him home for that long! I was able to care for him, love him, and spend more time talking with him. We ALL enjoyed more of his company!!

Now he is back to work, and actually left here a couple of hours ago for a five day trip to New York City with some friends. I am happy for him that he will have a change of scenery - it is always refreshing to get away from our ordinary routine. We will be missing you Matt - but hope you have an absolutely memorable, exciting time!
