Can you brag without boasting?

Well I was thinking in one of my most critical thinking places this morning: the shower (I know- don't get a mental picture!) And I wanted to brag on my husband but didn't want to be boastful. So, I consulted the dictionary. Brag: verb, to speak of one's own achievements, etc. arrogantly and boastfully. Boast: verb, to speak with exaggeration and excessive pride, especially about oneself. Well, so considering the definitions, which I did have to look up the difference- obviously- I figure bragging and being boastful IS indeed the same thing, but since my intention is to brag about someone else, then I think it is ok... Don't know what you would call it? Extremely happy about another's achievements and wanting to share? I am sure there is another word. SO, I digress...

As I am sure everyone knows by now, William is in paramedic school. Something BOTH of us will be ecstatic to be over and SO happy to see June come around! He typically goes 24hrs at fire, then gets off work to go straight to school from 8am -5pm then comes home, cooks dinner, sees Logan and then we go to bed just to have school again, then fire, etc. etc. Well, I know the boy never studies nor really has time to. He is at a super-busy station and usually only gets 2hrs of interrupted sleep (if that) per shift. Well, he has made the President's list each quarter (for making straight As) and yesterday he made the highest grade on the final in both classes! I am so SUPER-PROUD of him! I know he is tired, exhausted and so many more things but still, he presses on just so we can maybe get a little more income later on. (Even though we found out they took away some of the raises and reimbursements). I am still praying that somehow that information is wrong and we will still miraculously get it, but oh well. This quarter is almost over and praise God! Then, next quarter will be his last and he won't have to take the stupid anatomy class with the crazy professor!

Also, I know it is hard being a full time mom, and have a full time job, but so excited that Danielle has been doing so well in her school as well! I know it is not easy juggling everything but it will be so worth it in the end!

Well, just wanted to express awesomeness for a second. I am so excited for what is ahead and can't wait for this chapter of our lives to be completed!
