I'm REALLY missing Matt. More than I thought I would. I'm realizing how much I need him and how much he's changed my life. It's really hard to be without him!
It hasn't been all bad. I've been getting to work on time! Ha ha. I had a good time hanging with April on Friday night. I'm turning her on to beer, which is fun. And I can look like a beer pro by telling her all about the beers she's drinking. I can't do that with Matt because he told me everything I know about beer. :) I also spent the weekend with my mom at my aunt's house. That was fun. I don't think I'll ever be a breakfast drinker though. My uncle, sadly, is in the hospital and not doing so well. Actually, I thought he looked all right .. and he was eating, which is something he doesn't usually do, but I don't think he's going to ever really recover. From what we were told, by Carol, he's in the last stages of COPD and so it's just a matter of time.
I've gotten three e-mails from Matt since he's been gone. He sounds like he's having a great time. This trip is a really great opportunity for him. He's meeting lots of great people. I'm really happy that he got this chance. So far he's ridden (bikes) with a group of students to Austria, had dinner with lots of international students, had a few conferences/meetings with the laureates, and tonight they are having dinner with some of the laureates.
