A few (or more) comments about my outdated blog at Christmas time, inspired me to get on the ball.
We've had so many 'blog worthy' moments over the last six months, I don't even know where to start. But I'll try...let's get caught up on the last month.
First of all...... I FINALLY GRADUATED!! I took me a little longer than planned, but it was worth the time and effort. I received a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy and a BAS (Bachelor of Applied Science) in Legal Office Technology. The graduation was great!! Not to mention I sat by Ian Johnson during the ceremony.
With some persistence, Derek talked me into go through the recruiting process at BSU for the accounting graduates. Luck was on my side, as I was able to land a great job at a local public accounting firm, Harris & Co. I started on Tuesday! Now I can't wait to expereince my first tax season and get the CPA exam behind me.
Christmas was wonderful!! Derek and I were both able to get work off for the week of Christmas. We spent the first of the week in Declo with Derek's family and the last part of the week in Samaria.
While in Declo we made a trip to Rock Creek. Rock Creek is a single house with more Christmas lights on it than you can ever image, it was beautiful.
While I enjoyed the vacation from school and work, (sleeping in and lounging around) Derek decided to enjoy the cold weather and snow. Which lead to a couple successful morning goose hunting
Like always Derek spoiled me this Christmas. After months of telling me how stupid the Wii Fit looked, he surprised me with one on Christmas morning. I tried to surprise him with a hunting game for the Wii, a track pack for Rock Band, and a predator call.
On Christmas day we weathered the storm and headed to Samaria so we could talk to Shane. The roads were horrible (3 1/2 hour trip from Declo to Samaria), but the trip was worth it. It was wonderful to hear Shane's voice! I miss him so much, but I know he's doing the Lord's work.
Mom had a wonderful Christmas prepared for us when we all got to Samaria. I love her gifts, as they are always so thoughtful and perfect. She'll spend hours revising and correcting something to make it just right. Thanks Mom!!!
Saturday we were able to go to Fielding and spend time with the Godfrey's and celebrate Grandma's Birthday. Isn't she great!!!!
