A significant mark achieved...
I PASSED! Well after much waiting and anticipation I received the results to my CFP exam and I passed. What a huge sense of relief. Knowing that I won’t have to sit for the exam again and be studying for it on my cruise in November. Just all around good feelings.
It’s been awhile since my last post and I must admit that I have been very poor at this blogging thing. The reality is that I was never good at keeping a journal while growing up but I am a rather nostalgic person and I know the benefit of a journal and especially would love for my children to have the ability to read my thoughts so I will attempt to be much better at keeping tabs on life and reporting them.
In the last month we have almost completely remolded our kitchen and done it without the help of contractors. We have new appliances I have finished the countertops, minus the backsplash grouting, and will attempt to put the final touches on the kitchen this week. We moved our couch and kitchen table into the house last night and it was a thrill to actually have something to sit on! I also cleaned off the back deck of most of the material we have been cutting up over the last three weeks. We are attempting to make our home more of a home and less of a collection of stuff.
In an effort to accomplish this goal we are paying more attention to the details of what we decorate with. Instead of the hodgepodge of trinkets and collectables scattered around the house we are going to create themes and carry them throughout the house. Not something we hope to do inside of a day but over time acquire the right pieces and paintings that will put the finishing touches on the home. Some things will have to wait longer than others such as new blinds and draperies but, we will get there.
We went and visited some of our close college friends a couple of weekends ago and it was a grand ol time. Kevin and I had a blast solving the world’s problems and were upset that they were messed up again by morning. We also attended the Renaissance Fair in Purdy while we were in town. That was a lot of fun, too hot really but we still managed to have a good time drinking beer and Meade while listening to dirty bar songs.
There was a lot of talk about kids and how to’s with children and getting pregnant. Seems as if all our friends are at the point in life where they are planning for children. Which is great because that means all of our children will be roughly the same ages and should be able to play together assuming they get along which we are sure they will.
Well lunch break is over and its back to work, till next time
Cheers,
Jay
