One of my favorite things is giving gifts at unexpected times (ie: any time that isn't a birthday or holiday). My most recent unexpected gift to Burton was a Responsibility Trophy. The idea mainly stems from my favorite Hyperbole & a Half entry & I've been itching to buy him one for, oh, about six months now, as an "End of the School Year" present.
I just wanted to give him a quirky little gift to show how proud of him I am. We've come a long way since we started dating. In the last year & a half, Burton has accomplished the following feats:
- Quit his barely minimum wage job to pursue a career
- Passed four teacher certification exams
- Got hired for his first teaching position after just 2 interviews (woohoo, SALARY!!)
- Moved in with his first girlfriend :]
- Made said girlfriend a fiance!
- Adopted a puppy
- Moved into a beautiful new home for our small family
- Got accepted into a FREE Masters in Science Education program
- & has made me a proud lady every day for all the little things he does.
I try to add something lovely to my life every day. My dream is to live a crafty, happy life in Portland OR, with my husband, Burton :]
