Man of the Year

I saw this post on Bye Baby Bunting and was inspired, so I went to the hosting blog, Sarah at Real Life, for Man of the Year and got even more inspired!

So I am nominating my man for the man of the year!


As I have listed in other posts about my husband, he has been doing so much around the house this summer while he has been on summer vacation. He has cleaned, done laundry, fixed the water filter, and most of all sold over $800 of junk from the garage! He is now planning a family vacation to Disney in September with the proceeds!

But what has also made him the Man of the Year is that on June 21, he found out he probably had testicular cancer. After many tests and surgery, we were told that it was most definitely cancer. However, since the very first day, he was positive, faithful, and optimistic, never showing fear or anger. His back was killing him and he was on pain medicine, but he never had a bad attitude. He had the surgery and was as good as new, even though we did not know the results yet. When he was told it was cancer, he was still positive. When he was told he had to do two rounds of chemo, he was okay too. When they told us he did not have to do chemo, he was ecstatic!

He has already gone back to work at his new job as a dean. He is excited about his new position and is working hard to get a new school going. Since I am going back to work, he is even working his hours so he can pick the children up after the work day (of course the dropping off is the bad part!).

So my man should be the Man of The Year! He deserves it if not from anyone else, from his family!
