Have you seen this man?

Have you seen this man? If you have you are probably in law school, at the library until midnight every night, and have been working on your memo too! My poor husband has been working non-stop on this memo for school. I am beginning to really dread these memos because they tend to completely consume them and take over their lives for about the three weeks they have to work on them. Pretty much I see him just a few minutes out of the day during these memo times. I have to remind myself that this is just only for a short time and that it will be worth in the end. I am grateful that he is such a hard worker in school and puts forth all his effort. But I have to admit that I begin to feel like a "law school widow" and get pretty lonely at times. Thank goodness today is the due date for that darn memo and he is finished with it! Wahoo!!!

I need to give a big shout out to Chad's sister Erica for staying up and helping him edit his paper. We owe you big time! Especially me since I ended up falling asleep on the couch. I'm pathetic! So thanks Erica! You are so great to help out and I know Chad greatly appreciated it!

On Friday Chad and I did get to have cute little date night. We came home and he made me a wonderful dinner. Then we played the game "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" For me the game was like playing "Are you smarter than a law student?" Well there's an easy answer to that question....NO! haha But we did have a blast playing it. Of course Chad beat me and I told him that next time we will have to play the game in a group setting so I'm not the only one that looks dumb. I guess that's what I get for marrying such a smarty pants huh! Thanks Chad for taking the night off from school to spend some time with me! I love you!

On Sunday we watched the Superbowl with a few friends. We ate pizza, which is Chad's FAVORITE thing to eat, while we enjoyed the game. Most of the time the boys were working on their memos while the rest of us watched the game. Chad was happy because the Steelers won the Superbowl and he got his fill of pizza.



This is what the boys did....sit with their notebook computers and type away on their memos. Good times!

I hope you find your man again soon! Thanks for sharing him the past few days... we've had some good talks like we had back in the days of senior year. I agree with you though, I hope those memos are few and far between! You two are so cute. I love you both!

Hang in there! Just a few more years--you can do it! :) I'm glad his memo is due today and that you'll hopefully be seeing more of him soon.

I'm sorry for the way Chad turned out. You can blame it on his dad. When Steve was a student (3 years of our married life), he would study, study, study. On several occasions I would find him in our little closet/pantry studying the viscosity of tomato juice!!! I didn't know what that word meant - now i do!!! Hang in there. Thanks for loving Chad and being there for him.
Love you lots!!

Those Burgin boys run in packs--Alex was the same way when he had to study for tests. He would disappear for hours at a time. Thankfully this one is over and hope you don't have to endure another memo for a while. Love you guys!!

Yucky on not seeing your hubby! That's never any fun! It's good you had your little date night though. We would have loved being part of that game. Probably tons of giggles, that's for sure!
