Being a parent in college.

Being in college is tough.
Being married and having a little baby in college is even tougher.
Kudos to those people who do it alone. 

Matt starts up classes again today :( neither of us are ready. 
That break was not long enough at all.
And this semester his classes are actually in class. Whereas before all of his classes have always been online so at least he was home.

Now his Tuesdays and Thursdays will be from 7am-10pm.
Which is a long day of work and classes for him.
And a long day of being home alone with our baby for me.

I'm not complaining...but its not really any fun.

In just over a year. HE. WILL. BE. DONE!
We are both so ready for this.

I am so proud of him for sticking it out. 
He already has a great job...and  he easily could have given up getting a degree, but he has stuck it out. And he is almost done!

He also just got the confirmation that ALL of his internships were waived due to his current job being enough!
Yay! 
This was such a blessing...and a load off his shoulders.
And its just that much sooner he can be done :)

As much as interning at the U.S. Marshals and the FBI sounds really cool...he is glad he got it waived.

So prayers for us as Matt begins another semester.
It makes Tuesdays and Thursdays really long days for us.
And it makes weekends way too short and not near as relaxing or refreshing as they should be.
If anything...this has taught us to be really good encouragers. (is that a word?)
He is ready to give up...and I give him a pep talk.
I am ready for him to give up...and  he gives me a pep talk.
Not much longer...and HE IS DONE! :)

And I couldn't leave a post without adding a picture of our sweet boy.
Tired baby smiles :)

  1. I agree, being married and a parent while in college is tough! Dave will be done in August of next year as well and I know we will both be thankful when he is. Encouraging each other is definitely necessary to make it work! Yay! Keep it up!
