The CPA exam(s)....

Well Ladies and Gentlemen... tomorrow is Round Two of the epic CPA exam. (There are four sections.)  David is such a dedicated and hardworking person- and has been studying for hours every night for the past 4-5 months. He took Round One of the CPA exam the first week of July, but due to a change in grading policy (or something like that) we won't get his results back until the end of September (hopefully.) I have complete confidence that he passed it with flying colors, but I really can't wait until we get the results back! (It will just be a major sigh of relief.)

I just want to say how proud I am of David, and how grateful I am for his hard work and dedication. I am not always the most supportive when he is studying and I just want to go do something fun. David studies at home, on vacation, and even studied the entire drive to Paul, Idaho last weekend while the rest of my family and I chatted and played. He is amazing. I try to remember that when he is spending all of his time with this guy:

This is Peter Olinto. He is one of the many people who lectures to David about the importance of learning what  DR * CR * IR equals. I tease David that i'm not his best friend anymore, Peter Olinto is his best friend. However, this is not true. Rather - Peter has become a best friend to BOTH David and I. Specifically because, if Peter can help David pass the CPA exam on the first time and make it so he can stop studying for hours every night - then I have no reason not to absolutely love him. Because someday soon, David is going to bring home one of these....
... and we are going to have a PARTY!

In other news: between all the crazy amounts of studying, lesson planning, trip taking, wedding announcement-ing, and working - David and I are still completely in love with each other.


Yep, I said it. Recently, we have had several people comment on how "newly married" we still are, and so instead of getting offended and trying to argue with it - i've decided to embrace it and just enjoy our "newly married stage." 

Okay, sorry for that random tangent - I was just thinking outloud. 


IN CONCLUSION: Send lots of luck and prayers David's way so that tomorrow he can go and ROCK the BEC section of the CPA exam! We would really appreciate it!
