The Student

This is a view we see quite often.  We are so grateful for Matt and his many efforts to gain an education.  He is working on his MBA through the University of Phoenix and he hopes to be done by the end of December.  He works so hard all the time, jumping from his current employment at Forever Green Landscaping, to his church calling as Scout Master, to his never-ending list of honey-do's and now son-in-law-to-do's, to writing papers, taking tests, coaching Carter's little league baseball team, cheering on Chloe in her first year of softball, playing games with the kids and being a fantastic husband.  And, he never feels like there is enough time to do what he loved most, fine art painting.  I know it sounds exhausting, and I  know he is...always...exhausted.  He rarely complains and somehow finds a way to just keep on pushing.  He is a great man and we sure love him for all his efforts. 
Keep pushing Matt!  You are an amazing example to all of us! 

A scripture comes to mind that reminds me of you...

Doctrine & Covenants 64:33
"Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work.  And out of small things proceedeth that which is great."

We love you!
