We've found out we didn't get some fellowships that we applied for, but that's all we've heard so far. Tomorrow we will find out if he got a one-year lecturship at the University of Michigan. It's one of our last hopes that something will turn out of this job search we've attempted over the last few months. Steve deserves it--he's a great teacher. But come what may...
I just want to say that I am proud of my husband. I am proud of him for pursuing something he loves even though it's not the easiest field to be in. I am proud of him for choosing to do something because he likes to do it. I am proud of him for not getting discouraged amidst all the critique of his writing he has to hear. I am proud of him for remaining confident in his talent despite the credulous faces people make when they hear what he is studying and ask, "what do you do with that?" And most of all, I am proud of Steve for being a wonderful husband and father and setting a good example to me.
This is my sweetheart:

Amen to everything (except the sweetheart stuff...)! We're proud of you too Steve, and also you, Barb, for noticing and being grateful for your husbands job choice, despite the headaches accompanying this current job search. We're luck to know you guys and wish we could get together soon. How are Nash and Alec supposed to be best friends if they never meet? :) love and miss...
congrats to graduating!!! It's such and exciting time. I hope you guys are able to stay here for another year with us! It's been so fun getting to know you and I had fun talking to you the other night at girls night.
Very sweet post. I hope he gets this job too, maybe more for selfish reasons since I want you guys here one more year, but still. A huge congrats to Steve for graduating. It is a huge deal. Congrats to you too for being such a supportive wife.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BARB!
