haha sorry its hump day so that was the first thing that popped in my head.
I am STILL waiting on my grades! Its driving me crazy.. I just want to know. This past weekend was nice. Friday we went to Bourbon House with Jess and Danny. Its crazy.. they get a night out from the little one but only stay out for 3 hours. I guess I'll understand more when I have children..
Saturday we met Ryan and the builder at our house to make sure everything was going as planned. It was so exciting! We have windows now and they were putting in the insulation while we there. They are supposed to be doing the drywall and the siding/brick this week. I can't believe we move in 7 weeks! We were looking out the back door and it was just a surreal feeling that it would soon be ours. Besides that, we did absolutely nothing but lay in bed and watch HGTV. It was fabulous lol. I think Josie was happy to have us home again.
Sunday I went to the movies with my mom, Morgan and her friend. We saw Prom Night (not my choice obviously). Wow. Very stupid. That's all I have to say about that haha. And neither of our families did anything on Memorial Day so we just went to Fuji and had some sushi and fried rice. I really hate the fact that I crave sushi now. Which I guess its not a bad thing considering its pretty healthy for you but it just seems so weird. I still can't eat the raw stuff though.
I had a really weird situation with a friend of mine yesterday. I don't want to really post it on a public website for her privacy (if you absolutely HAVE to know, email me or something) but I just hope everything works out for her.
I have my first official training session tonight with a guy I went to high school with. Awkward! He's nice and all, but its just embarassing that I let myself go like this. I know that I've toned a bit since I first started working out a few weeks ago, but I'm just not getting the fast results I want. Hopefully he can steer me in the right direction. Wish me luck!
After I sweat, Jess is meeting me and we are going to Belterra. We haven't gone in ages so I'm excited. Hopefully I'll win some money!!! Well, that's all for today. Hopefully I'll have another one in a few days. and maybe I'll be productive and get some pictures up here haha.

It stopped raining! For now..
Well, I took my test Friday. It was supposed to take 4.5 hours and I finished in only 2.5~ I don't know if thats good or bad. The multiple choice weren't bad at all but the simulations were a bear. Still haven't found out about Test 2.
We have a roof on the house now :) We've been talking a lot about how we want to decorate. I think we're going to keep the bathrooms the same. I really like the monkey bathroom haha. It might be juvenile but it puts a smile on my face every time I open the door. We haven't decided whether we want to keep our bedroom the same, because we are thinking about getting a new bed set. Our current bedroom furniture is mismatched and we only have a full bed which can get tiresome at times. We've been staying in a queen at his parents.. and its been nice! lol
Anyways, I figured out that we need to save about $4000 for the house and $10000 for the wedding. How crazy! I know the credit card is going to creep in there at some point, but I think we can do it. Our mortgage payment is only going to be $70 more a month than what we're paying for the apt right now! So we'll see..
Still have to dogsit/housesit for another week. I miss my Josie. I drop by the apt every day to check on her, but I only stay for about an hour and she's so much cuddly than that damn dog. (weird I know) but our cat is unusually friendly. We call her Josiebear, because she acts like a bear most of the time. But it is so funny to watch her sometimes. She plays fetch with us! Seriously. Its awesome. and she's extremely acrobatic. I have a feeling she will make her Youtube debut here soon.
haha Well at this point I feel like I am rambling. I am getting nervous.. we are having our big partner meeting today to discuss how the company is doing, discuss budgets, raises/bonuses, etc. so wish me luck! Talk to you soon :)

Its Monday
Ok, well I'm pretty much caught up with my work so I'm going to take a few minutes to update this thing.
Tax season has been over for practically a month now.. and I am finally catching my breath. This was my first tax season working full time and I cannot even begin to explain how stressful it was. My job is not very strenuous or physical by any means, but after ten hours of looking at 1040's, listening to clients complain that their refund wasn't as big as last year's, or why do they owe this year, or why don't they owe this year.. it definately begins to take a toll on your sanity. On top of that, I was studying for my second part of the CPA.. which I took 4/25. I still haven't received my grade.. but I don't have a good feeling about it. I wasn't fully prepared and I totally blanked on one of the simulations. But we'll see.
I have my next test this Friday on Auditing. I am taking a few days off this week to study.. but Derek's parents are leaving for Key West tomorrow which puts us on Dogsitting duty. I usually don't mind dogsitting Frankie (their extremely high strung Chihuahua) but with having Josie, I feel funny leaving her. So it should be fun trying to plan my next 2 weeks around Frankie. God love him.
Anyways, the wedding planning is going extremely well. As all of the people I have talked to has told me.. I am extremely ambitious and "on the ball" with most things. But I worry that I found my dress too early.. it was 2 sizes too big to begin with and now that I have joined a gym, I'm afraid that I will lose so much weight that the integrity of the dress will be lost by the alterations.
The house is coming along pretty well.. I had a little "freak out" session a couple of weeks ago. But I'm over that. The time constraints still worry me.. but I've realized I can't do anything about it so its not worth it. To put you up to speed.. the lease for our apt is up 7/23. We leave for Italy on 7/30. We are supposed to close on the house 7/15 giving us a little over a week to move from the apt to the house and only a week to catch our breath and pack for Italy. Insane I know! Derek's parents said we can stay with them if it is not done, but I would hate to put Josie in a kennel for that long. I know we are going to be gone in Italy half the time anyway, but I would feel better knowing she can atleast roam around the house and not be stuck in a tiny ass cage all day.
Well, I'm going to try and post atleast a couple of times a week.. LOL.. we'll see how long that lasts. But I have to head out to a client so I'm signing off. Ciao!
