The calm before the storm

So its been FOREVER since I last blogged. I took the 4th section of the CPA exam yesterday.. it was alright. I felt well prepared but they always throw a few curve balls at ya. So I pulled it off and I'll only need to retake Auditing in the fall. For those of you who don't know how the CPA exam works, it is split into 4 sections: Auditing, Regulation, Financial Accounting, and Business Environment Concepts. I have passed BEC, FIN and failed the AUD. Each test is split into 5 testlets: 3 multiple choice sections and 2 simulations where you have to research a certain topic, write a memo among other things.. Its a bear!!!

So anyways, I went shopping with Jessica and Adalynn today. She is getting so big!!! I found a dress for Charlie's wedding and some shoes to walk around Italy in.. we also went to Wendy's Bridal and I found a good candidate for the bridesmaid dresses. We'll see.. I need to find a DJ before we leave for Italy.. which is only 3 weeks away! Craziness!

We "broke into" the house last night. They still have a ton to do.. I don't know how they're going to get it all done before Monday, which is our walk thru with the builder. I'm taking my daddy with me because as a carpenter he obviously will have a good eye for mistakes or things that need to be fixed. And we're SUPPOSED to close on Tuesday, but I just got an email from the mortgage lady and the way she made it sound was that it might get pushed back to Thursday. Which ticks me off because we have a limited time frame to move all of our stuff from the apt to the house. We HAVE to be out of this apt by the 23rd. GRR!! This has been the most stressful process.. I'm really glad we built our own house because it was nice to pick everything out the way we wanted it, but at the same time it can so much more frustrated if it doesn't turn out the way you had pictured it.

I don't know.. this next week is going to be hell.

Until next time.. Ciao!
