Math Suks

Why am I awake at 7:30 on Saturday morning when most people are sleeping in? I ask myself that question just about every Saturday. Seth works on most Saturdays and guess who makes his lunch in the mornings? Nope, not Papaw. I make his sandwiches every morning before he leaves for work... well, except the two times in the past week that I told him I would "bring" them to him because I was tired and didn't want to get out of bed at 7 am... and I forgot to. Whoops. Looks like I won't be getting the "wife of the year" award any time soon! But anywho, by the time I get up, make his sandwiches, fill up his water bottle and get back to the bedroom, I am officially too awake to go back to sleep. So here I sit, blogging.

Let's talk about presents. I don't mind making these sandwiches every morning because I am making them for one of the hardest-working men I have ever known. My husband. He works hard at everything he does, which is a rare quality to find in a man these days. I have a Dad like that, but more on him later. Seth is dedicated to his job, but will be going back to school after taking a year off to figure out what he wanted to do. He will be majoring in accounting, which sounds terribly boring to me. I took College Algebra 3 times before I passed it, not because I'm bad at math (the third time I finished with a 95 A), but because I just don't like it. When you don't go to class or do your homework, you don't know what's going on. When you don't know what's going on, you don't pass the tests. When you don't pass the tests, you fail College Algebra twice. Don't fail College Algebra twice. Luckily, the third time I was engaged and highly motivated to do well, pass the class and get my degree so that I could find a job and support me and my soon-to-be husband. I did it! Seth will do better. He likes math and apparently plans on making somewhat of a career out of it. I'm proud to be his wife and realize how blessed I am. God has been good to me.

As I stated earlier, I also have a hard-working father. When I was younger, I don't think I grasped this trait (remember, I had to take a simple math class three times because I was lazy). My Dad is always working on something, but knows how to relax and have fun, too. He worked hard to provide for our family and making sure our home was in good shape. He still does. He is the best high school principal I know, not just because he works hard, but because he cares about what he does. He cares about every student, every teacher/staff member, every parent. He believes that students can succeed if the right environment is provided for them. For those of you not from Crestview, trust me when I say the environment around CHS has not been so good the past few years. Dad just finished his first year as principal there, and the environment has totally changed. Have you checked out the Lip Dubs? You should. Here is the original one, and here is the teacher lip dub, featuring the greatest faculty meeting speech I've ever heard by my Dad. Check out the videos, they were both done and produced by students. It's great to be a Crestview Bulldog! Happy Father's Day to the best dad and the best principal!
