He's a hard worker you know...The Brenton deserves 2 bachelors, one for his degree and one for getting a degree while being a dad...oh and being HAPPY to do it all! Being a husband/father/student is not easy but there are some benefits:
- You aren't worried about having to make friends at school, because guess what you got a friend waiting at home for you...oh and this friend usually has dinner waiting for you (usually is the key word) does your laundry, AND packs your lunch.
- You don't dare fail a class because that means you just wasted $500+ of YOUR money and then you are going to have to spend that dough all over again because of course you can't graduate without those credits.
- Your spouse, who is a wee bit better at writing essays than you, is always there to look over your papers and "help"
- Using the phrase "sorry I couldn't come to class yesterday my daughter was sick" is something the teachers are easy to forgive and work around instead of the usual "I was hung over/stayed up too late playing video games"
Okay sadly those are the only benefits to being a husband/father/student...the rest is all just really really...really really...really hard.
What's next?? Oh well more schooling of course. Off to the Masters program so that we can get that big paycheck...someday..hopefully..if what they said is true...fingers crossed.

Congratulations to The Brenton! I can't wait for my next post because it will have pictures with him in a cap and gown! I just gotta go searching for that cowbell so I can ring it so proudly when they call his name!!!
