If you can't tell ---- we love our dogs :) As is evident by the numerous pictures. But I'm grateful for Dad Herman's fancy camera giving us some art quality pictures of them! I'm also so glad people snapped some pictures of us at the most recent wedding since we haven't gotten to do much this year to take pictures of-studying kinda makes a boring picture.
Well it's about time to start our fall semester again sigh. Matt is in his last week of summer classes and is all signed up for his fall classes. He's on schedule to finish his AA by the end of spring and we will be completing his nursing applications this october and crossing our fingers that he gets in for summer admissions.
I'm excited to have my classes start so I can get them over with since this is my last year of classes before I take my comp exam next summer and then can stop taking classes and focus solely on my research. That being said this will be my toughest year of classes so the Herman bed and breakfast has closed for the season and will be unlikely to be seeing people much until at least Christmas, Thanksgiving will be dependent on exam schedules.
We will try and keep people posted!

Wedding trips
So we have been invited to a few good friends wedding this year and unfortunetly missed a few already but we were able to make it up to Nate's and Andrea's wedding this past weekend in Villanova. It was a full catholic mass service with a lovely reception afterwards. We were able to get in touch with some old friends whom we had not seen since our wedding, so we had a blast. We daytripped it for the most part- stopping in VA for the night so we had less of a drive the next day.

Mid year update
Soooo apparently I only posted pictures and didn't blog about our Boston trip- crazy me. So we ended our semester really well- then invited the in laws down to visit us for the wkend after finals ended. So we hung out with Matt's mom and dad- they got to meet and play with the puppy and Barb and I went and got facials for the first time. We had a relaxing wkend together, and a nice way to unwind after a crazy semester.
The next wkend we boarded the pups and flew up to Boston as my girlfriend Kristy was graduating from veterinary school. We had plans to hang out in Boston for the day but apparently they were having a terrorist drill in Boston that day so we went and hung out in and around their house- they live by a lake so we were able to walk around that.
Sunday we had breakfast with her father and Jim's family then headed down to the graduation where a few funny commencement speeches were given- I was impressed that they were funny enough to keep us awake and even entertained slightly. Then we went to dinner with Kristys mom's family and then headed back toward the city to fly home. It was a nice weekend and we are both very happy and proud for her as she is now a Docta :)
June was busy so we didn't go anywhere Matt started Summer classes and I had to give a work presentation so we fervently worked hard but my presentation went well - I'm making decent progress on my projects for finishing up my first year. Matt got A's in both of his Summer semester I classes so yay! Lets keep that going!
So far in July we were able to sneak away and visit Matt's family and see Kristin and Missy whom he hadn't seen since Christmas time. So we spent and afternoon and evening with the family then on Monday we went up to my Grandmothers 4th of July picnic for a few hours and got to see some of my extended family. It was just a quick trip we weren't gone more then 48 hrs before we had to be back home for matt to start his summer II classes and for me to get back to work. I'm working fast and hard in the lab trying to get through some good research before my classes begin again in only 4 wks :'(
We probably will be out of touch for most of the fall semester as we both have very difficult semesters so we will be offline for the most part until we pass and survive those classes. Hopefully classes will get easier after next semester.
Also for Uncle George Matt wants you to know that he learned in his german class that geshbul means outsider, and is used primarily in southern Germany, Bulgaria- and that in that region they don not like foreigners at all.
In the next couple weeks we are trying to finish up everything before we dive into fall semester in August. A college friend is visiting, my parents are visiting and we are going to a wedding and I am helping with VBS it will be quite a busy month trying to live life.
Well I guess thats all for now!
