ConGraaaaaaaduation!

When we started dating, he was headed nowhere at a community college.

We got engaged and BAM - he had his associates degree.

We got married, and wouldn't you know it, he got a bachelors.

Then, a couple years later, his had a daughter and WHACK! just like that, he finishes law school.

I'm not saying his accomplishments are ALL because of me, but I think this evidence speaks volumes.

Of course I'm kidding. Jake spent more nights awake all night studying in law school than I did the first year of Sophie's life. He has worked really hard, and totally deserves this J.D.* he gets to use behind his name now.

So Jake, congratulations. You're the best husband and father ever, and Sophie and I are lucky to be your girls.

* NOTE: Please refrain from asking him lawyer questions until December 2008, when we'll know whether or not he has passed the bar. And at that time, if he has passed, please remember that all standard hourly lawyer fees will apply.

Love the sidenote.

The poor guy would probably be fishing for his dinner from a dumpster if it weren't for you! How lucky he found you and decided to multiply and replenish.
