Andrew is taking his board exams. 8 hours today, 8 hours tomorrow. This will arguably be the most difficult and important test of his life (parts II and III of boards will likely be less challenging), and I have been here at home all day thinking of and praying for him and his classmates. I am so grateful for that sweet, dedicated husband of mine. He works so hard for our family. He is always so helpful, so involved and hands on. He let me sleep in until after 9 yesterday, even though it was his last study day. I love him.
Right now, we have two little boys napping in their beds. I am (was) working on school work. Toys are littered about the floor, but they are in no danger of being picked up until closer to bedtime. An "I love you, dad" card is resting on the table. There is a blend of 10 herbs and spices made up on the counter in preparation for blackened tilapia - Andrew's favorite. We're headed out to grab ice cream for him after nap time. He seemed a bit disappointed I came home from the store last night without any (one of those little "why didn't you read my mind?" moments...any one else have those?).
Right now I am feeling not anxious, but hopeful. I have so much faith in Andrew, his preparation and abilities. He has never made me pester him to study. I am so grateful for a husband who always pulls through. Still, I will be so happy when Wednesday night comes and this stress is behind him. The man deserves a break!
Right now, life is give and take for us. We help each other in any way we possibly can. Our roles are blurred. There is no keeping score, only picking up slack. Today is a day we wish we could give more to a man who gives so much.
Good luck, sweetie! We're rooting for you!
Sweet!! Good Luck!
