Can I brag for a minute?


If you don't want to hear it- don't read.

It seems that everyone wants my husband. It all started when I moved to Snow where I met him. We started dating a couple months after being good friends and then I found out all of my room mates except one had liked him at one time or another. I actually asked permission to date him from one of my room mates who had liked him just previous to him asking me out on a date.

Then two years ago Daniel was a full time student in the very intense computer science program and working at least 30 hours a week to keep our benefits. When he was offered another job that would pay more and let him work 20 hours a week for benefits he felt he had no choice and took the job telling his boss that he liked working at EDO but had to move on for his family. They wouldn't have him leaving. His boss asked what they could do to keep him and went to the big guys of the company and asked to have the policy changed so that Daniel could get benefits so only 20 hours a week. They changed the whole company policy to keep him, an intern, there.

Now flash forward to this year. Daniel had two professors that he worked with in the past that really wanted him to work on a PhD under them. Daniel finally decided recently to give up the idea of a PhD for now and help me get through school when suddenly yesterday Daniel got an email from another professor asking him to come do a PhD under him and that he would be able to pay Daniel for his research.

They just can't get enough of him, and how can I blame them?

I would also just like to mention that yesterday I went to class in the morning with the house a mess. I have been slacking this week because of an intense test coming up on Saturday that I put off studying for until now. When I came home from class (gone for a short two hours) the whole entire house was spotless. Bathroom scrubbed down and all the dishes washed, floors vacuumed, and the outside of the windows (which have been splattered with mud since we moved in a year ago) where spotless. I have been looking out the window all day, and I keep thinking that the window is open. I came home from class and sent him off to work a 9 hour shift (until 9:00 at night) after all that cleaning. We are both feeling exhausted lately but he still does so much for Chase and I.

What a good guy! So, is he going to do the PhD thing or what?

You really did get a gem of a guy. One more week of working full time and then I can come and help you once and a while!! By the way, yes, Brennan did just send those pictures. I didn't even ask him, it's like he somehow knew I starting blogging and needed some pictures so I could talk about him. Funny, huh?

What a great husband you have and a great brother I have!!! Everyone has always liked Daniel, so it's no surprise all the great things you said about him. Miss you guys. Chase is sure getting big!
