My 25th post!

25 is a milestone for many things so I at least had to mention that this is my 25th post. It only took 4 months but I made it. Here is a toast to 25 more long and irrelevant blog posts from me.

So Friday went well. I was nervous about the graduation dinner/ "wives on display" event. It wasnt as bad as I thought. Still really awkward knowing that these men who said "I have heard so much about you" truly mean that. More than they ever should know. I actually enjoyed meeting these guys that Billy has made a point to tell me about every week. I felt like I knew them personally. I know that Craigs Dad owns a company and he is Italian and likes his trophy women, and then there is "bouncy ball" guy who throws bouncy balls around the classroom (let me just remind you grown man with a wife and children), or Mikey who they call "Golden Arm" because he knows everything. I really like these guys because they remind me of all the class clowns I have ever been entertained by in one room at one time. It was definitely an exciting evening. It was an open bar, 5 course meal which was excellent prime rib, shrimp, dessert assortment. The only thing I could not understand is why they would "experiment" on giving a bunch of plumbers a soup called "cold melon soup". Can we just say super gross. It looked like pureed watermelon in soup form. I guarantee you that the majority of it was not eaten because as everyone took the first bite you can actually here 200 people go "ew." These are plumbers, cream of chicken, cream of potato, minestrone, or anything with beef in it. Hopefully they learned their lesson.
I am actually really proud of him. He worked hard and he has definitely come a long way. He actually feels confident in this field which he had previously never found his niche. Now we just have to get him to pass the state licensing exam. This is something that I am semi scared about because he doesnt test well. He gets nervous and the numbers tend to get jumbled up in his brain. A recipe for disaster. I have been trying to prepare him for the fact that he needs to take his time and there is no rush. We will see.

Last thing..... kitchen is alot done. Home Depot measured wrong and so we need to wait on two cabinets but other than that we just have a solid days work left. Which is really a gigantic feat. I think our friends hate us now though because we did end up working them all weekend. I dont think they have even an inkling of how greatful we are. We are getting them some nice gift certificates and fed them well all weekend so between those things and them always knowing that we are willing to help whenever maybe we wont forever be indebt to them. All though it would be deserved.
