I'm at school and have just a few minutes before class starts--and my second test. I can't remember if I've mentioned that this class I'm taking for the next three weeks is an intensive class--every day for three hours. Thus all the tests right in a row. It's a whole semester of work crammed into three weeks.
There is absolutely no way I could do this if it weren't for Toben. He's doing--are you ready for this?--all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, carpooling, grocery shopping. I'm taking care of Sunday dinners and packing lunches. Is he awesome or what?
Even though I'm getting the majority of my reading and shool work done before I come home (I'm staying at school until three o'clock each day), I get to come home to a clean house, spend time with the girls and help them with homework, and then sit down to a dinner I didn't have to cook.
He's made tostadas and burgers so far, and it's all been delicious. He's set the table, had the girls help, lit candles, and then cleaned it all up when it's done.
What a guy!
All that to say, I love you, Toben. And I appreciate all your doing to make this dream come true for me. You are the greatest!
Okay, gotta run to the restroom and take a quick glance at my study notes before class starts. Bye!
Where would we be without our wonderful husbands?

Obviously, he knows for you to be able to go to school, it must be a joint/family project. What a guy, indeed. Blessings on your classes and tests, Joanne.

What a guy! He's a keeper!
Good luck on your test. I know you'll do well.

I have to say that Russell would do exactly the same thing. In fact, when I tell him that Toben is doing this...he will be jealous. He was born to be a stay-at-home dad. However, I was not inclined to be the bread winner...I liked to be at home, too. He let me be the winner.

I agree with everyone above - what a great guy. And it seems like we all have some wonderful men in our lives. Good luck on your tests!

Yea Toben!
I am so glad to know you are having a great first week...now I understand...intensive...whew!
Praying for endurance and that your mind will quiet once you hit the pillow after having it filled during the day.
Much love,
Helen

Husbands can be absolutely wonderful a lot of the time... especially when we ask for help!
