It is going to be so much fun.

Life has just been so much fun lately.
Matt is so so close to being done with school and we are finally catching a glimpse of what life will be like.
And oh boy...I knew it was going to be good, but I CAN'T WAIT!

His classes during the week are done, so he gets to come home from work everyday at 5pm.
Even though he still has homework, it is lessening, especially now as he just finished up one of his classes...only 3 more to go!
It has been such a joy to spend each night out playing in the yard, or doing yard-work together, or going shopping, or just cleaning the house together.
It is so nice to have options.
And him taking those Monday's off was pretty much the best idea ever.
Monday's are my favorite day of the week now!

I feel like our life has been on hold for the last year or so.
So much of his time has been consumed by classes and doing homework...and so much of my time has been consumed by picking up all the slack and trying to do things by myself at home.
If I am being honest, it hasn't been fun.
It hasn't been fun at all.
The few times that we did set aside time to work on a project together or take a quick trip together it was always looming over us that this was cutting into his homework time and that trying to make up for time lost would be awful.

It hasn't been fun, and even though I am probably the worst person ever to look at the positive in any situation I can tell that all that time spent in misery doing schoolwork just makes this time so much more sweet though.
It is almost like I am seeing Matt again for the first time in a looooong time.
And hello...I mean...there was a reason I fell in love with him in the first place.
It is so nice to see him enjoying life again...doing stuff he loves.
Working on projects or in the yard, going out for ice cream, spending time with family...just doing nothing.
It is so nice to see him not feel stressed or overwhelmed all the time.

We still don't have a lot of time.
These last few classes of his are rough.
But it is lightyears better than it has been.
And even though we still haven't gone to bed at the same time since his spring break...and before that it was his Christmas break :(
(he typically does his homework in the evenings)

I have caught a glimpse of what life will be like.

There will be so much more freedom and the weight of school looming over us will be gone and it is going to be so so much fun!
