Always look on the bright side of life.

Hello all. Not much to report. This Saturday, Matt and I went to the Texas-A&M baseball game. We had to get there 2 hours early to get seats in the student section. The sun was beating down on us, we were greasy with sunscreen...but it was very fun. Even though we didn't win (we did on Sunday, though, 7-1), it was quite enjoyable. Patton had two home runs, and the Texas pitching (supposed to be the best in the nation) didn't stop us from getting 9 runs. :) It was our last sporting event as students - sad - but it was a good game to go out on. Although Sunday might've been nicer. And Matt and I did realize later that saying it was our last game as students wasn't entirely true. There is a good chance I'll be back there in a couple years again as a student. Matt was excited about that realization. On Sunday, Matt drove us back to Dallas so we could see Leslie. She was in Texas to see friends graduate from UT, and Mom and Dad flew her up to Dallas so we could see her. It was really great to see her. She can't wait for school to be out for the summer. And she had to sleep with me because her bed is now at the mini-ranch (it was just like Christmas Eve without the presents!). Murphy positioned himself right between our pillows; her would occasionally turn over and fill our faces with fur. Comfy. But Les was off again at 7:30 this morning to get back to Austin. The other fun event yesterday was a bagpipe party at the Roberts. Matt's parents threw a party for the Macdad (and his new wife), all the pipers past and present, and parents. There were a lot of people there (a lot of people are starting to learn and get on the pipes - very exciting). It was good to see Mr Macpherson, since I think it has been a year or two since I saw him last.
Today I've been really worthless...Matt's over at his house studying for the CPA, and I'm wandering around aimlessly. I can't wait for him to be done with that, and neither can he. Wednesday afternoon it'll all (hopefully) be over. Matt's getting very nervous about passing (only 10% of the people do pass all 4 sections) but I'm more confident. He's been studying for hours a day all semester. I can't imagine him not being in that highly talented 10%. But I'm biased. Still, everyone can try and send happy accounting thoughts Matt's way Tuesday and Wednesday morning.
