Busy busy busy...

Hey Everyone,
This week has been pretty busy for us. Matt has lots of homework, projects and presentations to work on. As for me, I've been cleaning lots of houses, working at the decorating store and getting another apartment ready for renting! So we've been pretty busy.

We are very excited that I got work off the week after Christmas! This means we get to go Virginia to visit the Montoya Clan :) We've been talking about it a lot.
We should be out making more friends but we're pretty content just skyping some of our best friends from college: Will Gierke and Devyn Lafrance. We laugh pretty hard talking to them every week.

I've found out that Matt is a really good natural cook. He just made up his own sweat and sour chicken recipe that was amazing and some stir fry the other day too. So i'm pretty lucky to eat some good quality food.

I went Elk hunting with my parents last week and my mom got a cow elk!

This is a picture of our apartment complex that we manage. It's little but it's fun to live here :)

Well I'll talk to you all next week!
Love The Montoya Family

Another week

Hello everyone.  This week we had Halloween, and we dressed up as Alice and the Mad Hatter.  Everyone says that I don't look very happy in the pictures but that's because the white makeup made my teeth look really yellow so I couldn't smile crazily like I should have...

So there's that.  We went to watch Harry Potter 7.2 in those costumes, they were showing it on campus.

Friday night we went to the Olive Garden in Yakima and it was a party. Other than that, we had some friends over last night to play games, it's the first time we've had people over.  It was pretty fun, but we still need to make more friends. 

I've been doing a lot of homework this week, and Leisha's been working her two jobs and really likes the home decorating job.  She wants to open up her own business someday.  She also went elk hunting with her parents and they shot a big elk!

We are having fun and learning lots.  Until next time,

Matt

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Hey Everyone! So what have we been up to since we've been married? Well I'll tell you...

Matt and I have been apartment managers so we've been cutting trees, raking pine needles, painting apartments and taking rents.
Matt has been going to school at Central Washington University and really likes his classes. He has lots of homework but usually gets enough done to still play with me :)



One day while walking to our car we found that we had a pumpkin/squash patch behind the apartment complex.Our boss said it was ours if we wanted it so we picked the 2 green pumpkins and carved them for Family Night! We also picked the squash...at least that's what we think it is. I cooked it once and made zucchini bread out of it once too so we're not sure what it is!
We carved our pumpkins into Calvin and Hobbes!
We went to Richland this last weekend and dressed up as my dad (the bishop) at the ward Halloween party!

I've been working 2 jobs: I clean houses and offices for a cleaning company and I also work at a home decorating store called Real Deals.

On Sunday we both gave talks in our new ward on  spiritual preparedness. It went pretty well I think!

Tonight for Halloween we're going to go watch Harry Potter 7 Part 2 at the campus theater, make caramel apples and hopefully dress up some crazy way. We'll put up pictures next week!

Talk to you all later

Leisha & Matt Montoya
