FDH is 34, and has worked full time for his current employer for 17 years. Yep, half his life - who does that these days?!?

Today he learned that he has gotten a HUGE promotion. He's been promoted several times over the years, but this puts him third in command of the whole company

I'm so happy for him - he works so hard and is always trying to improve himself professionally, personally and as a parent. He deserves this more than anyone I know.

The pay increase isn't as big as we'd like it to be, considering how much added responsibility he will have, but he's likely to get more if he proves himself and does a good job (which he will). Either way, come next semester I can probably cut my work hours, increase my school hours and get my prerequisites for the graduate program I want to get into done. Win/win!

Someone's going to get some celebratory nookie tonight!
