Brag Post

Sometimes I laugh when I think of my life 9 years ago. Craig and I had just started dating - he was a cool kid with tons of friends, no fears of skipping school, very little cares in the world and I was, well, pretty much the nerdiest of nerds as the yearbook editor and home economics scholar. How in the world did we ever hook up?? It must have been fate.

Craig has told me of an experience he had on the first day of his basic physics class when he was a senior in high school. Mr. He-who-must-not-be-named told the entire class that because they were in such an easy class NONE of them were college material. Who says that? Luckily, Craig didn't take that statement to heart and has been very, very successful in his undergraduate as well as his graduate studies. In fact, the reason I made this post was to brag about his most recent achievement! Craig wrote a memo almost a year ago with another student that was considered to have the BEST argument! He received his $1000 check at a banquet today.

I'm glad that some of my nerdiness rubbed off on him - at least I like to think it did. I'm so lucky to be married to such a hard-working man who didn't listen to his high school physics teacher...
