Corporate America...here Lee comes!!!

After two years of hard work, dedication, and countless sacrifices Lee is finishing his final semester of classes AND he has been offered a job as an accountant!!! I couldn't be more proud of him. He has worked so hard and persevered through so much to be here. He has made many, many sacrifices, and now his dreams are beginning to come to fruition. No more closing the store at nights and getting home after Joshua has gone to bed only to sit at the kitchen table and work on homework until 1, 2, or even later in the morning hours. No more burning the midnight oil and waking up at 4:30 and 5:00 in the morning to head out to school. No more working six to eight Friday, Saturday, and Sunday shifts in a row. It is so surreal to know that there will now be time for family dinners and quality time in the evenings, spending weekends together, and so much more.

The icing on the cake, the cream in the dough nut, the warm pie filling ... you get the picture;} ... the company that Lee is going to work for is sooo supportive of church, family, and all the values that we hold dear. A good portion of his first interview with the CEO and COO was spent talking about church, raising children, Christian schools, and other faith related topics. Knowing how rare that is in our society today, particularly for a successful corporation shows me how awesome God is. It was Lee's first call back for an interview, and his first job offer...WOW!!! A peace came over us when he interviewed for this position; a peace that only God could have provided.

Anyway, I just wanted to rave about my AWESOME hubby to everyone out there. I am sooo very proud of him. He has worked so hard to get to this point in his life, and his perseverance is just so amazing to me. He has remained dedicated to work, school, family, and faith throughout this entire process. We have certainly been tested at times, but the result of those trials is truly amazing!!
Just wanted to a add a cute pic of my boys getting ready for corporate America...lol...:)!!
