DH is a biologist at Merck (the drug company).  He's in the initial phase of drug discovery, so he's essentially working on developing new drugs that will be on the market in 10-15 years.  It's neat what he does.  He's worked on HIV and cancer drugs within the last year.

Physics/Chemistry teacher during the day and he is a hockey referee some nights and weekends.  I am seriously considering going back to school to be a teacher so we can have summers off together.  That would be so nice now that we have LO!

DH is in the military. I?m not going to say exactly what his job is, but it?s pretty bada** (very proud of him and his accomplishments). It?s something that only a few are selected to do and required a lot of extensive training. When he?s home, he?ll usually leave for work around 6am and will get home sometime between 3-6pm and they get a good bit of 3 and 4 day weekends. He travels quite a bit and is gone more than he?s home. We counted him being home a total of 6 weeks in 2011. A few of those months were part of a deployment, the rest was training. Currently, he?s on his 8^th deployment and his 9^th year in the military.
