You would think because we don’t have any kids yet we would have lots of date nights. But we don’t. We usually just grab dinner or cook together, which is always fun. But we never have an actual lets-get-dressed-up night just because. So, in the spirit of actually trying to still date one another, we like to declare a date night every once in awhile.
Usually there is a reason to celebrate…
I passed the latest exam in my CFP® courses! I am so excited! This one was on income taxation and it was a tough one! I had to drive close to 7 hours (thanks to a highway being closed and having to take a detour) down to Birmingham, Alabama to attend a 2 1/2 day class. The class was intense. 9 hours a day of learning and studying, and then after class I got to go to my room to study for another 3-5 hours per night.
I got home last Sunday night and was exhausted. Then I had to wait almost a week to find out if I passed or not. That was too much pressure for me.
I found last Thursday that I passed. AHHH! Que the singing Angels and the choir singing Hallelujah!
Now I get to move on to the next course. No time for rest!
To celebrate my victory over income tax J took me to sushi. We had yummy rolls, crab rangoon and a few potato wedges in my honor. I also secretly took a picture of J. He wasn’t too happy that I actually took the picture, but he was too late to do anything about it! HA!
The next morning I woke up feeling refreshed, despite the fact the dog was up all night sick. This is the second time this week she’s been up most of the night sick. I feel so bad for her. I called the vet, but they said there isn’t much I can do because she must have ate something that didn’t agree with her. BUT after 2 nights now (not back-to-back) I think it’s time to take her in to get her checked out. That’ll be fun!
Anyway… I felt good when I woke up. So I took some time to curl my hair and put on my favorite Kate Spade earrings. Boom!
Don’t mind the Coors Light shirt. It was a bar freebie back in college and it just so big that it’s actually comfy. As a side note – I only drink Budweiser.
