Okay, I am a lot testy. Do you know what I hate? I hate when people tell me "Oh, Matt sure is lucky to have the job that he does." I grit my teeth and nod my head. All the while I am thinking: "LUCKY!! Lucky?!? Matt worked his little tush off when he was in school. He was working full-time, going to school full-time and he had a part-time internship. He took seminars on interviewing skills and workshops on perfecting your resume. He was gone from 5:30 in the morning until 11:30 at night. We both sacrificed so much to put him through school. He studied, worked, and he did a great job. He had interviews from Vegas up to Salt Lake. He got a job immediately after graduation and we moved up to Nephi. Forget that he worked hard and pushed for four years, forget all the preparation and time he put into school, forget the law of compensation - it was just all luck. Right?"
OK, now that I have got that off my chest, I think I need to go get a massage. I'll be back in a couple of hours.

I shall be the first one to comment. I know just exactly how hard Matt worked for his education as I shared most of it with you in one way or another. He is just reaping the harvest that he made for himself. I am looking for great things from you both in the future. After all I am still waiting for the cruise.
I too, know how hard he worked and the sacrifices made. I say, well done and congratulations on a job well deserved.
Look at it this way Abby, at least he is making money, and not putting you farther in the hole like us.
I agree he does deserve this job. He has worked hard to get where he is today. Your family will only be that much stronger because of the sacrifices made.
I am with you all the way, when people hear Chiropractor they automatically think we live our lives without worry and lots of money, well that is not the case, and like you I remember never seeing him, for four years and having to take care of the family and house so he could focus on school. Next time you go get a massage or dream of it, call me!!
