Little update and questions!

       Matt and I are currently attending a Married-Student ward (BYU 139th) and we both enjoy it...for the most part. Matt likes it and is really enjoying it. I however lost a lot of my social-butterfly-ness in the last two years (slightly depressing). So any idea how to get a little of it back? I've thought about going to talk to the Relief Society president and asking her if I could be put in charge of some type of enrichment night thing (like teach basic sewing/knitting or something) so that I would be forced to talk/interact with the ladies in my ward...but I'm not really sure how that would go over with her (don't want to step on toes and whatnot...)

       Umm lets see what else is new... so far nothing really. Matt's still working on the panels for the Space Center. Last night when we were talking about them he found out that he needs to drill some more holes in order to mount it. So he's going to be getting that done sometime in the near future, and once that's done, we are going to be building the panels together. He has two that are exactly the same, just mirror-images of each other, so I'll do one and he'll do one. Mostly just to give me an excuse to spend time with him, but also to help lighten out his load. I'm also going to be building the boxes they will be mounted to as well as a drawer/hidden panel for the Galileo. Hopefully I can get it to work/look how I'm picturing it...but we'll see!

       OH! PS. Don't EVER stain outside in the sunlight. BAD BAD BAD idea. I, for some reason unknown to me, did this and now I get the lovely chance to sand the entire thing down and re-stain. Thankfully I only stained one of the pieces of furniture and not both. But if nothing else, it'll give me some more to do while Matt's doing all his homework/work. :)

       We finally figured out most of the Christmas presents for this year, and yes I'm making all but one of the ones that we've decided on right now...now we just need to figure out what to get for our nephews...currently I'm starting to think that a card with money sounds good... or else a gift card to somewhere... any ideas? They are 15 (?) and 9 (?).

Thanks!!

Life

Hey everyone!

       Life is still just going like normal for us! Matt is always busy with work and school. He just started a new project for the Space Center. He's going to be making the Panels of the new Galileo. I'm excited to see them when they are done! He does amazing work on them! Other than that there's really nothing new for him.

       I have this week off at school so I'm going to be working on some things around the house that I really want done. Like staining our furniture, touch up painting, finishing the drawers/doors in the hallway and finishing up all the Christmas presents for the Long side of the family. And of course, homework in between all that. I'm actually glad that I don't have class this week so that I can get ahead on my homework and get all the little things done around the house. :)
Oh! Question for everyone...I'm running out of ideas for dinners this week, currently all I can think to make I've made in the last two weeks or else it just doesn't sound good... I'm thinking about doing Haystacks for one of the nights but I'm not really sure of what else to do. Any ideas?
Thanks!!

The M&M Long Family

Hi Everyone!

So this is a blog I just set up to introduce our new family!!

Matt and I got married on Aug 13, 2009, we're both currently in school. Matt is studying to be a Mechanical Engineer at BYU and I'm working towards getting my RN from Provo College. Both of us plan on going on to get Masters.

We both love being outside and doing anything that we can think of. Currently we have a nightly tradition of watching Stargate SG-1 on Hulu and we love it! However, they only have 6/10 seasons up on Hulu and we're almost done watching them. And suggestions on what to watch next?

umm lets see what else can I tell you about us... Matt comes from a family of 4 kids and is the first to get married. I come from a family of 11 kids and I'm the 7th to get married. between the two of us we currently have 21 nieces and nephews, with one more on the way (all from my side).

and that's basically us!!
