And summer begins!

Bryan has had the toughest semester of his life, apart from that last semester before graduating with his doctorate degree. Three different classes, two of which were brand new to him, and the school was new with brilliant and perserverent students.

And it has finished!!!! Well, there's still two classes to grade and input those grades, but for the most part, he's done!

I'm so happy for him. He busted his ass this semester, and he nailed it! He really has proven himself at this new job and his new university. Moreover, his hard work has allowed me to continue to be the sole caretaker of our kid and pursue my non-office related dreams (which sometime include baking cookies and eating them warm from the oven). I'm grateful for Bryan, proud of him and so glad for him that the worst is behind him!

The summer class is one of his favorite classes to teach - and the real reason they hired him. He will teach 700+ students in two sections of this in the fall, so everything will be easier. It's a class he loves, has taught many times and will teach multiple sections of in a semester. No more three different classes! He did it!

So now begins our summer in which I let Bryan sleep in, in which we eat pizza, in which we watch movies, travel to Chicago, visit the local museum, go to the pool, hang out in pjs until too late in the day, and do whatever we want on no schedule in particular. 

It's a full month off for him, and I'm so excited! If I was working an office job (which for every other break, I was), I would be so jealous. Now I am so happy because it means a month of the three of us hanging out, playing, making memories and doing what we do best: leisure.

Bring. It. On.
