Goals

My sweet husband set a goal five years ago: to be a Building Official before the age of 30. He studied like a madman and took excruciating test after test for his many certifications along the way. Last year he became a Certified Building Official, and now gets to put those extra initials behind his name for work(and when he feels like it.) How I admire this man! He knows what he wants and pursues it feverishly until he obtains it. He will not be discouraged, nor does he get bored and lose focus(I wish I had that drive, I am so easily bored.) He has been waiting for the perfect opportunity to come along, and it has! He will cut his commute in half and go to work for his hometown! It is an opportunity that will bless all of our lives in many ways. And he accomplishes his goal with several months to spare before the big deadline. His ability to persevere to accomplish such a far-reaching goal, completely on his own motivation, amazes me. What a great man. We are so excited to see what the future holds!
