At Edward Jones, when you start out as a new financial advisor, you are a “level new” and then you move up from there to levels 1-10, depending on the amount of assets you manage. On Friday, Nate hit level 1! Exactly a year ago, Nate was 3 months into his new career and he was stressed, anxious and nervous he’d made the wrong choice. Over the next few months, business picked up and he found his rhythm and he realized that not only did he really like his job, he’s good at it! I had 100% confidence in Nate all along and it’s exciting to see him doing so well. I am so incredibly proud of him and know we will have more celebrations in the future. Last night we went to Handsome Hog for a celebration dinner. I snuck away before our food came to ask about desserts (warm chocolate chip cookies is one of Nate’s favorite things in the world) and if they could put a #1 somewhere and they totally delivered! Not pictured- glasses of champagne that they also included. Chocolate chip cookies and champagne is a combination I didn’t know I needed in life!

Aside from date night, we had a pretty low key weekend. I made homemade big pretzels for Hawkeye football. Xander and Augustus have been talking about crepes since they saw them on some random cartoon recently. So Sunday, we had crepes for breakfast.
My mom brought over new pjs for the boys because next week there is a pajama day at school.
A few other random pictures from last week- the boys looking cute before school.
On Monday, we went to Playground Plaza to run off some energy!
