So I haven't written anything for a month....just goes to show you what happens when life kicks you in the ass :) (in a good way). I've been pretty darn busy.....getting some more wedding details in place. Finished invitations yesterday, will send them next week sometime. My first bridal shower is coming up this next Saturday. I went to one of my bridesmaids' wedding this past weekend, which was REALLY nice. Boy, her dad must have shelled out a ton of money cuz boy was it fancy. Definitely fun, and I was glad to see her so happy. Lauren spent the weekend here--going to the wedding and helping out with invites. My emotions took hold of me all weekend though which definitely put a damper on my fun weekend; I think the stress is just getting to me. I feel like I've been such a bitch lately but I guess I'm just worrying too much.
On a sweet note...Eric got me the new iPod shuffle on Friday as a surprise. He gave it to me as I got in the car on Friday after work. He even put a really meaningful song on there and made me listen to it right then...such a sweetie. It has definitely come in handy already. Works nicely at work while I work on my audits.
Don't think I have much else to say. Things have just been really busy. I wish it would slow down a bit, but I don't see that happening for awhile. Right after the wedding, within a month, I start my Becker Conviser courses to study for the CPA Exam. I should have the Audit part completed before the end of the year. The other three parts will be finished by April/May of 2006. Kind of exciting but that stuff is stress beyond explanation. That's my one last personal development career goal. Of course, I'd like to be promoted and make more money but that's more of a career goal than a personal goal. Getting that CPA is my ticket to ride in the accounting world FOREVER. It will happen soon enough. the best thing I could do I guess is to try to enjoy it and try not to look at it like a chore. I just hear horror stories of people having no outside life while they study for the CPA. I don't want to be like that. But if I'm not, do I risk not passing it? It's damn costly to take it each time so I'm hoping I only have to take each part once. We'll see what happens. I'm not going to worry about it now.
Well I've stressed enough.......I'm gonna try to wind down for the night. :)
