Dustin will hate this

For once, this post is NOT ABOUT ME! I know, so disappointing. Its about my husband and how proud of him I am. He will probably not like that I'm writing this, but oh well he can live with it. Dustin has definitely taken the scenic route when it comes to figuring out what he wants to be when he grows up. I tease that he's been on the 10 year (perhaps now 15 year?) degree plan. As much as I give him a hard time, I'm actually really proud of him.

When he worked at APC, we both thought that was where his career path was headed. He's dabbled with the ideas of electrical engineering, insurance salesman, pension consultant, among other jobs. But now he's studying Computer Engineering at Chico State and has a great job working on campus doing something, uh, computer-related. Something about code and java and C++ and differential whatever-the-hell.

Point being, he likes what he's doing and YAY for no more working as a janitor! From now on the only toilet Dustin will be scrubbing is the one in our apartment.

I always knew Dustin had potential, he just needed a little kick in the butt by God once and awhile (and perhaps by his wife ;-) to get moving. Everybody's journey is different and some take longer than others, but it's exactly the way it's supposed to be. 

And I always hoped that condescending personality of his would come in handy somehow.

Hey, so long as somebody's paying him for it, it's alright by me! And I know Dustin doesn't respond well to encouragement, so instead I will say . . . thanks for not totally screwing up your life.

Okay, I can't resist. I'm proud of you, and you're gonna be a great computer engineer! And I won't understand a single bit of it. Love you anyways.
