Say "Cheese"

Letting you in the back room...

There is a room in our house that many people do not see... "The Hole" as we like to call it. It is a room of storage, projects, books, and for the past several months - my husband. I want to take this post to brag on him. What an amazing man! Matt is almost halfway through getting his masters in Non-Profit Management right now and, to say the least, it has been a challenge. Only through the Lord's strength have I gotten through long nights and days of being mom and upkeeper of the house, but more impressive is Matt. He somehow is balancing being husband, dad, full-time employee (and many of you know ministry is not 8-5) and student. There are more nights than not that I do not know what time he stays up till, he is usually brewing coffee while I am sliding into bed. I am so proud of him and his hard work! This week is finals week, two papers due and he has been in "the Hole" all of the time... as you can see by the picture, it is his position. But somehow, he finds the time to go on adventures with Emma and has yet to miss a single bedtime story reading, what a man! It will be worth it, we are halfway through, and what a blessing from the Lord to allow Matt to get this degree. We only pray that it will help use Matt to further His kingdom in the future.

Happy Halloween!

And had such a blast. She had a smile all night!
