We did it! {we survived the 1st week of school}

In usual Murray fashion we like to keep things interesting!  We found out in early February that Matt was accepted to Chicago Booth.  This is huge for a few reasons: 1) Matt has always wanted go back to school to get his MBA 2) Matt wanted to get into Chicago 3) Life as we know it is going to change.  Personally, I couldn't be happier for my husband or more proud.  This is a great accomplishment that we have celebrated to the fullest (good food and bubbly are just how we roll) over the last couple of months.  Reality set in quickly when Matt had to attend a 3 days orientation from 8am - 9pm and has since taken on two classes a week.  I'm not going to lie....I was worried about not having Matt around.  We have a "routine,"  Matt comes home from work around 5:30pm and takes over the parenting duties.  I look forward to him coming home every night; I instantly have another set of hands (which are much needed due to a VERY active 17 month old) and adult interaction.  My worry (panic more like it) set in quickly....we have 2.5 to 3 years of this.  Matt is the rock of this household and change is always scary but I'm so happy to report we survived the first week of school (you have to start somewhere, right).  Mason and I will find a new routine on the nights Matt is gone and before we know it Matt being a part time student will be our new norm!  A big congrats to my smarty pants husband and a big thanks to friends/family who are going to be my extra set of hands on the evenings Matt is away.
