Tomorrow is the BIG day!

UPDATE: HE PASSED!! He got a stomach bug the day of the test, threw up 3 times during the test (amongst other things we shall not discuss) and still managed an 82!! His next one is thursday, so be praying for him!

In the morning Jared will be taking an 8 hour test to get his Series 7 securities license. (one of 2 licence's that will enable him to sell securities, investments, etc..and essentially enable him to be an Edward Jones Financial Advisor) He has been studying for it for the past 2 months!!! He is really nervous but he has nothing to be nervous about! He took 2 practice exams and scored in the 80's on both, you only have to score a 71 or above to pass, but you only get one shot,if you fail you are fired and can no longer work for Edward Jones. Jared amazes me with his ability to study and do so well in every subject/test/area! He is really smart!! I am proud of him. Anyways, if you think about him tomorrow, just say a quick prayer for him! I will update you all tomorrow night on how his looooong day went!!!

What's new?

Well I haven't posted in awhile, so I thought I would just give you an update on what's new with us!

We are all doing well, Jared is doing really well with his training to be an Edward Jones agent. He takes his first test in a week and half, that will give him one of the liscence's he needs. He is getting nervous about it, but I know he will do well. Then his next big test is two weeks after that, and then Oct 15 he will leave for a week and go to Arizona to do some training. I am not looking foward to that week! : (

I have been adjusting to the girls being back in school and getting used to another new schedule!I have been walking with some mom's at the girls school. We run the kids in and then we walk around the school, 2 times is 1 mile, so we are up to about 3-4 miles! It has given me so much energy, I love it and feel so much better when I do it! It has really motivated me again to start running and excersizing! So now I want to run the White Rock marathon (just the half for me though) in December. I have been asking everyone/anyone to do it with me, so if you are interested let me know! It will be lots of fun!! Then MAYBE next year I could do a full marathon, that is just something I have always wanted to accomplish!!! I am on the PTA board at the girls school, so I have been working alot on that, I enjoy it!

The kids are doing great! The girls love school! I started pottytraining Joey TODAY, whoa!!! He went in the potty for 1st time today! I have been putting it off for quite some time know due to the fact that it was soooo hard with the girls!!! If anyone has any tips for me, please share them! Someone needs to start a potty training camp and we drop off our kids for a couple of weeks, they potty train them, clean up all the accidents, and send them back when they are pottytrained!!That would be nice. Jack is growing so much, he is 7 months old now and is getting big to fast for me! He has been sleeping a little better, and is overall a easy and happy baby!
Hope you are all doing well!
