Pardon Me While I Do Some Bragging. . .

This handsome guy is my Rich.  And Rich tends to be good at everything.  I mean everything.

Mostly I'm okay with this, except for when he is trying to teach me something that I'm destined to remain bad at, like snowboarding.  That was a fun day, let me tell you.  Since then, our marriage has recovered :) and I have learned to take advantage of his 'perfectionistic tendencies'.  If there is something I need done well and I'm just not interested enough to learn how to do it, I just let Rich run with it.

Rich started the MBA program at BYU  in the fall of 2009.  And I just let Rich run with it.  Now, for a little background, I kind of was a school nerd.  Let's just say that while at BYU, I retook a class (religion, of all things) because I got a B+ and I didn't want it tarnishing my record.  Nerd.  (These days, I'm lucky to still be able to add two numbers together and spell correctly. . . . I spend lots of time talking to people under 4 feet tall.)  So, these two years of getting to watch Rich go through a pretty rigorous program and not micromanage his grades was a little difficult for me.  But, like I said . . . . . Rich tends to be good at everything.

So, here you are looking at one of BYU's Stoddard Scholars, which "recognizes outstanding academic performance, leadership, and service in the pursuit of a career in finance", awarded to only seven in the program:

He ran with it pretty well, didn't he?
