Excellence

Dave is a pretty amazing guy. He'll be the first to disagree, but he is truly amazing. It's been fun for me to watch him learn and grow. When I first met Dave he had only completed one year of college. He had no idea what he wanted to be when he "grew up".  It's been fun to watch the Lord lay a path out for him and to watch him excel in his field. He is such an exceptional school counselor. He helps the kids at his school in a way no one else could. They are really lucky to have him.

I knew he was great, but it is so awesome when others agree. Dave was nominated by his school district to receive the Emissary of Excellence Award. It's huge honor to get. They only choose one or two recipients per year and anyone in the district is eligible. It's awarded to someone who has made a noticeable impact on the district and though it's not a requirement is mostly given to people who have served in the district for many years. Dave's principal told him that he's never seen someone as young as Dave receive the award.

So, here's my brag post about what an amazing guy Dave is. I feel really blessed to be his wife.

Dave's actually already started his path to the next chapter. This summer his district mentioned that they would like him to become a principal. He checked into the school requirements. He miraculously found a program that was only 30 credits, but would accept 12 of his master's credits as transfer. They even had an opening and accepted Dave into the program starting this fall even though the deadline was back in February. So hopefully in about 1 3/4 years, Dave will be able to be a principal!
