MATM! Month at the Museum

Alright there is such a cool contest that Nathan has applied for. I mentioned it in passing but I really want to go in depth and send you over to his blog posts about the contest as well. To read about it from his point of view check it out here and here. He would get to live in the museum for a month! Seriously what a fantastic job. And it's perfect timing, we don't have kids yet, it's well before my due date, and I haven't seen him so happy about something in a long time. I'm not going to go into the details because his blogs do it so well but I am going to say why I think he'd be perfect and why I want this for him.

Nathan always wants to learn. He is always reading, for example that's how he found the contest in the first place by seeing it in Popsci online. Where they show you new and cool things in the science world. He is so personable and truly has a love for helping others and being friendly. When we started dating he asked me if I was an introvert or an extrovert... we both had the same answer, we are introverts by nature but extroverts by choice. And that pretty much sums it up. Nate chooses to go out and meet people. And he has become very good at it.

I have married the most fantastic man in the world. Nathan is incredibly giving and loving and I know that this would be perfect for him. So when people ask if I can handle not having much to any contact with him over a month I won't lie I know it will be hard because he is my best friend. But he has never wanted something more than this, and honestly I have never wanted something more for him than this. I think it would be the most amazing experience and I couldn't let him pass it up. In fact I was the one that told him to apply. I hope that somehow this blog might make it to the decision committee so they can see that even though Nathan does have a wife at home that I am so supportive of his decision to apply and that I have been praying that he will be allowed this opportunity. So if he becomes a finalist and needs votes for his video you had better believe I will be calling out the reserves to get him every single vote I can.

Good Luck Honey! I want this for you more than anything!
