Ron went to graduation at UD. His semester will be over when he turns in his grades.
The kids and I completed our school year on Friday, ending with the May Crowning for the Homeschooling Families of the Sacred Heart.
And Ron bought me a graduation present--we keep talking about the baby's upcoming birth as my "graduation" from child-bearing. He got me my gift early! It was a real mood-mender: a car!
It was the most lavish, impractical thing he could have done! Before we were expecting, I had kept joking about how I would like to one day get a small car, like a Mini Cooper or some such car, just for me. Then we found out our sixth child was on the way--so long, car!
Well, the pregnancy has been very, very hard, both physically (so tired! so nauseous!) and psychologically (really, really hard to not be able to move forward with some of the things I had been wanting to do outside of child-bearing, rearing and education). It felt like a real "Sacrifice of Isaac." I cried A LOT.
Then, lo and behold, Ron shows up with a CAR! It spoke volumes. I love my husband. He is so incredibly loving.
