It's been way too long....

Well I am sure you have been wondering...Where have we been, right? Well we have been pretty busy..we are exhausted and just waiting for spring break...

School has been going excellent so far.. I have been maintaining A's and I am really proud of myself....can't you tell? I feel like my going back to school has also put added stress on Josh. He is doing his first year all over again.... he is proof reading....teaching me things I should remember from high school and just being unbelievably supportive. Thank you honey!

Home life is also kind of hectic right now...we are about to start building a patio out back....well not "we"..but I will just get to decorate it, pick out the furniture and decide on the plants... and that excites me!

Our weekends are spent juggling Mati moo, homework, housework, and a little "us"time...ohh the joys. I am starting to adjust and I am getting in the swing of things. The reason I haven't posted lately is because I have been kinda MIA on my myself. I fell of the band wagon about 2 1/2 weeks ago and I am still trying to make myself get back up. With added stress of school...I quit going to the gym...quit tanning...quit this blog...I really stopped doing alot of the things that I enjoyed..... My body ached and I felt as if something were wrong with me. The other night I had a "come to Jesus meeting" with myself. I am going to push myself back into those things until I get back into my routine. I have also been eating like crap...not sleeping very well so I am hoping that with a little push I can get over this hump...."fake it until you make it", right?

Valentines Day was a lot of fun....like it always is in the Kozel House...or shall I say LOVE DAY! It was more like love weekend... we both took off on Friday and sent Mati moo to daycare..We headed to Cracker Barrel for breakfast and then off to watch Valentine's Day...I don't recommend spending your money to watch it...wait until it comes out on video...better yet...then wait until next Vday...I can't imagine it working for any other weekend. We picked Mati moo up and headed to the Galleria...I am starting to stock up in Spring/ Summer clothes....then we went to dinner with my parents...after dinner we went and bought Josh a new suit. He needed one for a Gala that we are attending tomorrow night. All of his old suits are way to big...I must say he looks smoking in his new duds... Saturday we cleaned house...did laundry and picked up our groceries... I had a 4 page paper due this weekend so after spending 6 hours on that...we crashed.. On actual valentines day we did our tradition pink heart pancakes...enjoyed each others company...we both had a little school work...so...we ordered our heart shaped pizza for dinner....it is soo cute and watched "The Time Travelers Wife".....ohh it was awesome...they left a lot out from the book, but I still cried like a little girl!

My work week started way early...3 am on Monday.... I was off to Dallas for a day of learning...I had a great time...BTW I missed seeing you Dee...maybe when you are here for the Rodeo. After a long day ..my 2 loves picked me up at the airport and I was out like a light by 830...So needless to say this week has sucked!!! :) School nights are over for the week and after my quiz tonight..I am taking at least a 12 hour breather from school!

Now on to what you really want to hear:

Mati has been learning sooo much....The teachers are amazed at her large vocabulary...They said she does excellent on her flashcards...She knows some of the noises animals make.. Her new thing is Elmo. I have been trying to teach her how to count...we move things from container to container....she will say 2....and 6 mainly 6 for everything... We practice our alphabet...she does really well and can pronounce all of her letters correctly. The told me last week that Mati is a dancer....of course I already knew this, she loves to dance just like her mama....Mati has also been walking around the house moving her hands saying round and round....I had no idea what she was talking about, but my mom figured it out last night....the wheels on the bus go round and round.....lol...sho does the whole thing...Its so cute to watch her do the "babies on the bus go wahhhh" she is hilarious. She is such a loving baby....when I had been gone all day on Monday I didn't get to see her so on Tuesday morning I felt 2 little arms around my neck when I woke up and her head was above mine on my pillow....she was snuggling her mommy.... man oh man I love this little girl with my whole heart....

ok ok I must get to work, BUT I am promising a big picture post by tomorrow..check back and hod me to it....

I'll leave you with this....a professor one said "Thursday is the greatest day of the week because the anticipation of Friday is better than the actual day"....

Adios!
