CELEBRATION

Congrats to Cory who just finished his 2nd year of law school!!!! He took his last final yesterday.

He works so hard for our family and I/we are so grateful for all he does. He is a great father.

Just one example:

I remember talking with girlfriends before I was married about how we thought we should be willing to let our husbands have some wind down time when they got home from work/school before we asked for/expected help with the kids/house etc. I know, I know, many of you are laughing and I have since learned that this is much more difficult that I'd ever imagined.

But my sweet husband is wonderful. Every time he comes home, the first thing he does is get down on the ground and play with his boys. If they are asleep, he will often straighten up the kitchen or put the sheets on the bed, or do something else that needs to be done. This is usually after a full day of school and/or work...sometime 12+ hours.

He takes his responsibility as a husband and father seriously, and I am so grateful. I'd put money on his being the only person in his class with three kids. At times, it adds a heavy extra load, but he never complains and I'm sure we will be blessed for his faith.

Next semester he will leave for his internship around 6:00 am, get home around 5:00 pm, and then work at Olive Garden most nights. He will also be taking one class on Tuesday nights. He then has one more full semester of classes and will graduate in April. He will then spend April-July studying for the bar and will take it last July of next year. So the end is in sight!

So, last night we celebrated! Well, as much as you can when you have an infant and two 2 yr olds! (-:

We ate homemade Cafe Rio pork salads and had peanut butter cheesecake. It was tasty! Congrats Cory!
