My husband is LEGIT!

In honor of Matt being approved to sit for his P.E. exam (congrats!!!), I wanted to also share, for all posterity, the links below where three of his published works can be downloaded from the American Society for Testing and Materials website:

Please see below for your reading and research pleasure:

Small-Scale Mechanical Characterization of Aluminum and Titanium Alloys

Tribological Evaluation of Titanium and Aluminum Alloys Exposed to Hydrogen in Wet Conditions

Mechanical Behavior of Aluminum Alloys During Small Punch Test

These are just the papers where Matt was listed as the first/primary author. He also assisted on a few others during his Master's studies at A&M.

How cool is that?!

Proud wife here, I hope I didn't embarrass you :)

Here are also some pictures one of Matt's clients sent him last week! Fun to see Matt with his "work hat" on! Get it!

Wedding Dress Shopping (For Em)

Don't be alarmed, this post does not include ANY wedding dress pictures. No way would I post those here :)

However I did want to record the event of shopping for Emily's wedding dress, so here is what you get:

We went to four, I think it was, dress stores. Found some things Em liked, some she didn't and one that seemed really close, but not prefect enough to pull the trigger just yet.

At the last stop we discovered that Jill is a model (that's her in the wedding dress in the Donna Morgan book!) She was helping on the shoot and they needed someone to stand in as the bride.

The week after the Saturday we spent dress shopping Em ended up finding one more dress she wanted to try on at a new place. Her parents and I met her at the store after work and she bought it that day!

We then needed to grab some dinner so we of course went to Chick fil a to celebrate!
