CONGRATULATIONS JOSEPH!

This post is dedicated to my God given husband.  Every year he grows in studying God's word to become an even better husband, and I'm super proud of him.  I've heard some people say that you don't fall in love, but you grow in love, and that is soooo true.  He works very hard to provide a good life for me more so than ever this year.  His tree has beautiful blooms.  :-)  I love seeing him grow as a man, and that he is doing it to please God.  I can see more than ever how God gave me Joseph.  It's never too late to better yourself.  Same goes for me and everyone.  When he finished high school, he chose to join the army instead of college.  I think he really needed that then, and I'm glad that he did.  A perk to being married to a veteran is the military discounts.  :-)  However, for the past couple of years, many, many, many years after high school, he has been working diligently on furthering his education while working full-time, and he finally finished his first leg and got his certificate just this past year.  It was a hard class while juggling full time work, but his tuition was worth every penny.  I'm so proud of him.  He had an overall B+ average when he graduated.  Marriage is great as it promotes growth and service to each other, and as a couple out to others.  I'm very happy for Joseph.  Though it's not a fancy PHD, he set a goal and acheived it.  You're never too old to learn new things and to better your life.  He still has more classes with more tests to take in furthering his education even more, but God comes first in our lives, and it's already battle enough to maintain that in how busy life is these days, and we both believe that furthering education in Bible study and living that way of life learned is what we're judged on in life, so I guess he will work on finishing up his class education after taking a break this year from tests and quizzes.

Joseph has a great job with his current job at DOT foods, and plans to stay there...it is such great company with great growth potential and benefits, and great bosses, that it would be unwise to not stay there....if something ain't broke, don't fix it......he really loves going to work at DOT every work day...and has been in the warehouse logistics business for years and years, and plans to continue in that, but it is always good to educate yourself in case you ever need a Plan B to fall back on.  I always say, if God had to have a plan b, then so should we. Here are the fruits of his labor:
