This post is primarily going to be about The Hubby.<\/p>\n
If he ends up reading this he probably won’t like it very much, but he’s not the one behind the computer, now is he?<\/p>\n
About five years ago we made a big decision as an almost married couple to quit our jobs. We were living in Reno, about to be married and could have been quite comfortable where we were. I was a school teacher and he a financial analyst working at Merrill Lynch.\u00a0We were surrounded by our friends, our family and a nice little community.<\/p>\n
But, The Hubby wanted job security. He wanted flexibility. He wanted the schedule that I had as a teacher so that we could both have summers off.<\/p>\n
So, after some tough exams and applications, he accepted a position into Washington State University’s PhD program.<\/p>\n
During this time we decided to get married. Move to a new state. Buy a house. And have babies. Two of them.<\/p>\n
Wasn’t that a good idea? Well, we thought so and made it work.<\/p>\n
During these four years The Hubby endured this program and whenever I’d look over his shoulder at his homework or written papers I’d start to twitch a little bit. That business was intense.<\/p>\n
There were some definite hard times. We were in a teeny little house with infants and a load of pressure consistently looming. Not exactly the easy way to start \u00a0out a marriage, but we knew what we wanted for our future and what that meant to get there, so with that in mind, we got through it.<\/p>\n
The Hubby not only completed his classes, he kicked their asses. He didn’t just defend his paper, he kicked that presentation’s ass, too.<\/p>\n
The last six months \u00a0 or so have been very stressful. The Hubby was teaching a full load, \u00a0working \u00a0on his dissertation and interviewing at schools that would determine our fate. One school, right here in Washington where we have come to love. If he got the job that meant we could stay here and dig some roots into the ground. If he did not, we moved. Where? We didn’t know.<\/p>\n
A little side note while I’m thinking about it…<\/p>\n
Not only is The Hubby one smart cookie, but he is H.O.T.<\/p>\n
The man is truly handsome. He really is. I NEVER had a professor or teacher that looked like him!<\/p>\n
