Cloud 9

so I don't think I've ever been so happy about anything in my entire life (besides when Derek proposed to me!) but I found out yesterday afternoon that I passed my last test!!!!!! I'm going to be a CPA!!! Its only a matter of time now.. I have to have 2000 hrs of experience and I'm almost at 1700 so its only a few more months before I can apply for my license. I got a freakin 94! I still can't believe it.. they were so fast at grading this time!

Anyways, we ordered the wedding cake yesterday as well as the Groom's cake. We meet with my cousin Bethany about invitations Friday. If anyone knows of decently priced but good day-of coordinators, please let me know!

Its Almost Metallica Time!

so.. yea I took my test Friday. Got to the test center around 11:30 and left at about 3:30. I can't say I feel great about this thing. I felt really good about the multiple choice but one of my simulations was ungodly hard. I felt like such an idiot, it took about 20 min to get my bearings. I think it is going to be REALLY, REALLY close. I pray that I passed it this time, bc I do NOT want to go through this again!!!!!!

Anways, after I was done with my test we went and traded in some of Derek's games that he hasn't touched in years so he could get Gears of War 2 and I could get the new Guitar Hero game. Apparently the periphials (spell?) have been having a lot of recalls so we just bought the game. The drums from Rock Band work for it so that'll have to do for now. so we played some of that. Derek was excited because it has 3 Tool songs.

Today we slept in (wonderful!!!) and went up to Reading to sample some wedding cake. My mom and I have an appointment with them on the 18th but Derek wanted to try the different flavors so we went today since he was off. We decided on white, raspberry marple and lemon. And raspberry for the groom's cake. I think we're going to do an XBOX for his groom's cake and our cake that we liked from the pics is a 3-4 layer cake that has calla lillies. Its pretty! (calla lillies are my favorite flower and in my bouquet so thought it'd be fitting) We just need to decide on a topper. Lets see.. the only other wedding update is that my mom and I meet with my cousin Bethany about invitations on the 22nd.. we're looking into getting a day-of coordinator and the moms are in the process of getting the dresses. Oh yea and we picked out the songs for the reception.. Bride & Father: Landslide by Fleetwood Mac; Groom & Mother: Teardrop by Massive Attack and for our first dance... Nothing Else Matters.. by Metallica :)

Whom I'll be seeing in less than 24 hours!! Me, Gweed and my cousin Ashton are going to Columbus tomorrow for the concert. I haven't heard of the opening act but I am soooo excited to see Metallica again. I wish I could've afforded to get really kickass seats but I have a feeling that it won't matter!

Until next time.. Ciao!

Shooting Star

So with only 4 more days til my exam I've been nonstop studying and the butterflies in my stomach are beginning to grow by the hour. Last night I saw a shooting star.. I can only hope, wish and pray that my wish comes true!!!

We had a pretty good weekend. Friday we just stayed in expecting a lot of trick or treaters. We bought 3 bags of candy bc we live in a really large neighborhood. We had 3 trick or treaters! How disappointing!!! Derek's excited bc it means more candy for him.. but regardless.. it sucked.

Saturday we had our last pre-cana session. Which sucked royally. They talked a lot about God which irritated Derek which in turn irritated me so it was ill feelings all around. But we got our certificate so now all we have to do is take these rediculous Natural Family Planning classes. Our friend Rob got married Saturday night. Good times all around.

Yesterday, I slept in (go daylight savings!) and studied all damn day. Just got home from an all day seminar and guess what I'm going to do?..
