Congrats to my Dear Hubby!!

Well congratulations are in order ... Rob wrote his last exam and can now say he made it through Year #2. I know the marks aren't in yet, but I'm confident he did fine. It wasn't always the easiest, and he was ready to give up at one point ... but his wife helped him pull through ... even if he didn't like her non-sympathetic ways at the time. If I had been sympathetic he would have dropped some courses, so I had to be tough :) Two years down, five more to go ... argh ... but we're looking at the positive side today. Can't wait until next year when he can say he has completed University and gotten his B.A. .... but that's a whole year away and who knows what will happen between now and then. So for today we're celebrating Year #2 being completed.


"Celebration" was very mild, but the kids thought it was great. We had candlelight supper which they helped set up. James especially loved the candles and spent half the supper trying to blow out the one nearest to him. After supper came a game of "hide the presents". The girls had "wrapped" and hid the presents ... which simply consisted of a large supply of Rob's much loved droopies and other favourite dutch candies (that will probably disappear mighty quickly) ... and Rob had to find them. Of course they made sure to put each variety in a seperate gift bag so they could prolong the hide and seek game.

And now we can kiss Rob good-bye as he eagerly goes off to work tomorrow ... we look forward to September when we will have a hubby and daddy again. Everyone knows how much I dislike his job, and everyone knows how much Rob loves his job (and for those of you who didn't know ... you do now :) ... but whatever the case it brings in the money and it's only for four months ... and really, it won't be so bad this year ... I hope :) Rob has decided to work only 4 days a week so that he will actually have time to open his books and do some studying and reading over the summer. The long hours previously never allowed him to do much more then work and sleep, especially when last year involved countless hospital visits at the end of a long day (we pray this summer will not be the same). So this year shouldn't be so bad ... I just have to adjust again to not having him around and not being able to count on when he'll be home. That adjustment will start first thing tomorrow morning when I no longer have the luxury of a hubby who brings Marietta off to school and who often picked her up too. But that's okay, most others don't have that luxury either .. and the weathers not so bad anymore :)

So congratulation dear hubby ... I'm glad you stuck it out and made it through your second year ... enjoy those days in the truck because September will be here before you know it!!
