Husband, Father, Gentleman and Scholar

I honestly can't believe that Satch had his VERY LAST graduate school class today.

This has been the slowest and fastest 19 months of our lives.

Satch and I discussed the idea of him going back to get his MBA over the course of a couple of years.

One day he came home very convicted that now was the time.

His explanation was quite simple.

At the time we had a 6 month old baby and 2 1/2 year old toddler.

We were home anyway so it was now or never.

If he waited any longer he would miss out on too much.

Watching his boys play sports, school activities, etc.

Missing out on their lives was not something that he was willing to do.

I supported him 100% in his decision.

Oh my goodness.....

I was so naive. 

In my opinion he is a very smart man and he would just breeze through school.

He would walk in flash his brilliant smile and dazzle them with his intelligence.

I knew that he was committing to class every other Saturday.

How bad could that really be?  

Right?

Needless to say it was a tad bit more than I anticipated.

He had been out of college for 20 years.

The shock of getting back into the school routine was a bit startling at first.

Yes, he had class every other Saturday.

BUT.... he also had homework 

every. single. day.

He hung in there and never once complained.
Not even once.

I believe I did enough of that for the both of us. :)

He was first and foremost committed 110% to his family.

100% to his full time job.

100% to his school and studies.

Do the math.

That adds up to quite a load for anyone to carry.

The program started out with a brutal accounting slap in the face.

The program was designed for each student to be placed in a group of 3
to work together on assignments and projects.

A few classes in one of his partners resigned.

Now he and his other partner divided the heavy work load of 3 between only 2.

He and his partner, Luci, complimented each other very well.

She is a trained technical writer and he has a business back ground.

Thank God he was blessed with such a great partner.

They both gave it their all.
From start to finish.

I could not be more proud of my husband.

I admire his hard work and discipline.

I am so proud to be his wife.

I am so proud that he is the father of our children.

He is such a fine study of leading by example.

Dream BIG my love...
