Hello friends. I can't believe I get to make this post. I FINALLY PASSED. What's funny is that results were actually released yesterday, but our state board was closed in observance of George H.W. Bush's passing. Apparently results have never been released on a Wednesday before, so it figured that we would have to wait. … Continue reading Happy News

Nesting Season
I woke up on Saturday feeling melancholy. There were a dozen things contributing to my mood, but if you asked me to place my finger on just one cause, I would say - results are imminent. And each time, I forget how poorly I did on the exam and get a glimmer of hope that… Continue reading Nesting Season
Trying to Stay Focused
Hello friends! Happy Halloween! This year I am copping out and wearing some kitty ears as my costume. It is the most I am willing to dress up while at work. I hope you all are doing well. I'M NOT THINKING ABOUT MY TEST AT ALL. NOPE. NOT ME. It's not constantly eating away at… Continue reading Trying to Stay Focused
Exam Attempt #3
Well, exam attempt 3 is complete. I just don't think I got it this time. The feeling I had when I left the exam was too similar to attempts 1 and 2 to feel confident about my chances of passing. I'm still digesting it and I was really sad after the exam, but I'm feeling… Continue reading Exam Attempt #3
The Final Countdown
I have to say, I can't even think of that song without thinking of Gob Bluth from Arrested Development. Well, it's a wrap on Exam Cycle #3. The suitcase is packed with my reference books and binders, my lunch is made and sitting in the refrigerator. Two hundred hours of studying have been logged. Tomorrow… Continue reading The Final Countdown
Grumpiness
Last night it started raining, and I think the storms are bringing in a cold front. Next week, the weather is supposed to be in the 50s!!! I'm so excited. This weekend has been spent, you guessed it, studying. I worked on a practice exam yesterday. I bombed it. Bombed. it. I am so discouraged… Continue reading Grumpiness
I Should Be Getting Ready for Work
...but here's an update! Good morning everyone! ACL This was my eighth ACL, so while the novelty of the crowds and event itself has long worn off, the shows I saw were really good. We saw Paul McCartney on Friday and Metallica Saturday. I am fortunate enough to say that this is my second time… Continue reading I Should Be Getting Ready for Work
Neglected Projects – Lion Brand’s Simple Shrug
Today's blog post is admittedly a cheater post. I figured there was no point in posting another picture of the same six squares of the Speckled Square Blanket I'm working on; progress has been very slow. There's of course my looming exam (136.5 hours in). We were also working on our wedding video this week,… Continue reading Neglected Projects – Lion Brand’s Simple Shrug
A Break from Studying Update
Hello friends! I can hardly believe it is the last day of September. I kept busy last week prepping for the final step in my project manager certification - the interview! I was SO NERVOUS about this interview and definitely overprepared. Fortunately, we were given the questions before hand, so the interview ended up being… Continue reading A Break from Studying Update
A Quick Update Post
This morning's blog post is an exercise of "Can I do ALL the things (study, yoga, and blog post) before work and still arrive at a semi-respectable time?" LET'S FIND OUT. We've been keeping busy over in this cozy house. I studied a lot this weekend, while Husband has been prepping lesson plans for the… Continue reading A Quick Update Post
