Scared

As heard at our dinner table this evening...

W: "I'm scared."
S: "Why?"

One down...

Woo hoo! S passed his first licensing exam today and we are SO relieved! He's been studying for over a month now and it's been kind of consuming our time and mental energy. He'll actually receive two licenses, one for Life Insurance and one for Accident and Health Insurance. This will enable him to write policies and is the first big hurdle he's tackled in his new job. What a great thing to be thankful for this week!

We had a nice time although unfortunately I got the stomach flu the day of the wedding and was pretty bummed about not getting to celebrate the way I'd expected to. Every wedding has a "glitch" so I guess it was better me than the bride!

Here's our day at the zoo...



We went to a place called Go Bananas! It's kind of like a glorified Chuck E. Cheese and W LOVED it...
