Work Perks...

Now being a homeschooling mom there are not any "employee discounts" or "employee contests" that I get to take part in...however, my husband is always willing to share his work perks with me! He is so wonderful!!! I told you about how he has become a pizza delivery guy by night. The highlight of this "adventure" is what he brings home for us to indulge in. Well Saturday night he brought home to most delicious treat just for me. It was a buffalo chicken pizza with Alfredo sauce on thin crust! MMMMmmmmmm...it was so delicious! The best part was that it was his little surprise for me. I love how cute he is to know that I love Alfredo sauce and buffalo wings! :) This may not make any sense to any of you, but I just wanted to share how great I think he is! It is also great because we have turned the fact that he has to be away from home on some evenings into something exciting.

If we had our choice in life....money would be of no object. However we are dealing with reality, and reality is that we are in a situation where money matters. :) I know it is hard on Matt to come home from work and change into his pizza uniform, give us all kisses, and whisk out the door. But to be honest with you...I really respect him for going this extra mile for our family. He isn't complaining about it. He doesn't grumble about having to go work there...or having to be in the back washing dishes there. Instead we have turned it into a highlight of what he will come home with! I admire his hard work ethic, his determination, his perserverance, and his wonderful attitude towards life!!

Last week he had to work on Ashleigh's birthday. He felt horrible about it, because he loves being with us more than anything. In order to make it a special night for her anyway here is what he did...I had the girls upstairs getting ready for bed, when the doorbell rang. I told Ashleigh she had better answer it because it was her birthday. There at the door stood the hottest pizza guy I had ever laid eyes on! He told her that he had heard she was a very special girl that day and that he had a very special pizza delivery just for her. He handed her, her very own speciality pizza. We all broke into singing "Happy Birthday" and she stood there with a smile from ear to ear. I love how creative he is and how he makes the best of every situation!!!

It's a good thing that I love food...love pizza...and consider myself incredibly blessed!
