And Scott,
My wife went from no license to Extra in under two years and always 
tells me, when I go to Dayton to buy lots of stuff!  I've never 
missed a meal and when we did club Field Day she was about the best 
logger in the place.  And at our house I am the laundry person so if 
there is nothing clean, it's on me!!
Enjoy and encourage her.
