All's Well That Ends Well

Relief. This week has been wild, but most of all it has been good. I have been so encouraged about God's grace and goodness to us......

First of all, when I was in the depths of studying and feeling a little overwhelmed, two things happened.

1) My aunt offered to let us stay in her un-occupied house this winter. A nice option if we can't find a decent apartment when we first get back to Burlington. Praise!

2) I got a phone call from this sweet accounting firm in Burlington. I sent them my resume a few weeks ago and now they want to interview me! Best of all, the timing is perfect since we'll be in Burlington next week! So I have an interview at 9 am on Monday. Prayers are appreciated!

I would be thrilled if I got this job. But most of all, it was just encouraging to see God working in our lives.....I feel like the road is being paved for life after traveling.

On Wednesday we celebrated my wonderful husband's birthday! It wasn't quite like the celebration below, but it certainly was fun. We had salmon, red potatoes, and aspargus, with his favorite strawberry shortcake for dessert!

Celebrate Good Times Come On!

Thursday finally came and I actually felt pretty prepared. It was weird because I never feel prepared for tests...the perfectionist in me always knows I don't know it all. However, I was oddly calm for this test. I don't know if I passed, and won't find out for a few weeks, but I was at least encouraged that it wasn't overwhelming and that I feel like the CPA is totally accomplishable. Yes, I made up that word because it fit what I was trying to say. I'm going to be a CPA, not a writer/editor.

When I got home from the exam, I was greeted by an exuberant husband (always fun) and a bottle of bubbly!!! So we lounged around drinking this nectar of the gods and delighting in our freedom, since he just finished his super rough OB-GYN rotation. Hurray! We made it through!

Thank you, Shane for this wonderful present!

As if this great week wasn't enough, we are going to LBI for the weekend to celebrate Duke & LD's birthdays!

Good Looking family

Blurry, but I hope our future children are this adorable!

 
Our weekend is going to be full of eating good food, drinking good drinks, hot-tubbing, relaxing, and celebrating life...and counting our blessings because there are many. 

Happy Friday!
