A Package Came Today!

I'm a little behind on posting, somewhat due to an Oprah challenge that we took last week, but I wanted to brag for a minute.

Today we got a special package in the mail. Normally I can't not open a package that is addressed to Ben when it is delivered in the middle of the day and it is taunting me all day long. But, today I didn't peek. {pat on the back}


So when Ben got home and opened this curious little cylinder of a package, we were both excited to see his diploma!


So you're thinking, "So what, a another piece of paper to frame and hang in the office?" Well my friends, this diploma is wonderful for two reasons:

1: This represents a raise in his pay, now in effect now that the diploma is here. Not gonna lie... more money is a welcome thing right now.

2: This piece of paper is a small representation of how awesome Ben is. He spent the past two years working hard on his masters degree in Educational Administration from the University of Scranton, all while:

• working full time to support our family
• serving as the Young Men's President
• having many hobbies to fill the little cracks of time left available (see here)
• cleaning the bathroom every Saturday morning (and more!)
  
• having a baby (ok, well I had the baby, but you get what I mean) and delving into the sweet world of fatherhood
  
• doing more than his fair share of bed time and baths for Logan
• taking Logan while I served in my Primary calling and worked
• repaired numerous things around the house
• and the hardest one of all... putting up with me!

These past two years weren't always a walk in the park for our little family but what's life without a little trial? The blessings have far outweighed the hardships.

I actually can't list every awesome thing Ben has done in the past two years, but I just wanted to say how proud I am of him and how thankful I am for a hard working and extremely talented husband. My husband ROCKS! Love you Ben!
