I suppose if you didn't know us and just happened upon this blog you would know a lot about me and the kids and probably assume there was a husband somewhere around - he occasionally is in the background of one or two photos and every once in awhile he gets a mention in the text. I can't imagine he is too upset about his supporting role here but today he is the star of the show. (Lucky him).
As long as I have known Raif he has dreamed big, really big. He never does anything halfway and never takes the easy way out. The way we eat, live and do almost everything screams a certain amount of vibrato. He has carried this into everything he has done....well almost everything. For years Raif has been itching to get out from under the thumb of 'the man.' He has always detested working for someone else...the thought of his hard work making someone else besides him money has never set well with him. I personally was never bothered with working for someone else. I enjoyed the comfort of that steady paycheck and someone else taking most of the risk (along with most of the reward).
But as everyone knows I am not Raif, which is probably why our marriage works so well, and as much as I tried to convince him that security was the bomb-diggity he of course didn't listen and last week Raif became 'The Man.' He bought 1/3 of the company he works for and is now an owner. I am immensely proud of him (and admittedly immensely nervous) as well. His actual work duties aren't changing just how he is compensated is.
So to my darling husband - "I love you and am very proud of you. Keep up the good work!! And no more complaining about your bosses."
