I'm 25!

So Monday was my b-day. It was a pretty normal day (study, hang with Carson). That night we went to Karl's parents' place and had cake and ice cream (together actually...ice cream cake). It was mint chocolate chip, very good, very delicious (office quote for those of you paying attention). Other than that we have been B to the oring around here.

We got our family pictures in the mail. She did post most of the really good ones. She gave us every picture but only photoshoped the real good ones. It's amazing what a finish that software program puts on the pictures. I've been hearing votes of everyones' favs and I agree. I like the foot one, me kissing Carson, and I love the blue background one (although Carson is pulling a face). It was sooo hard to get him to sit still.

Carson has a few developments but they're not consistent yet. In Hawaii he learned to say Hey or Hi (although he doesn't do it as much now). He knows daddy. The other day he was reaching for his bubble jar and kept saying Bubbo (he's been trying this word for a while now). Twice he's picked up his ball and said ball (baby version with no strong L). And yesterday we were reading a book on body parts and when we got to eyes he pointed to his own eyes. It's been fun to hear and see all these things but it's not really consistent. To get him to say Bubbo for Karl took days. Sometimes it's clear as a bell and sometimes not.

I'm taking the tax/law section of the CPA exam on Monday the 28th. It is probably going to be the death of me. This whole week I've spent 2 hrs studying during Carson's nap and then 4 more once he goes to bed at 8. So I'm up till midnight studying every night and then I have to get up and do it again. I'll be glad to get this one over with. Then I plan to do Audit around mid-August. I'll take the financial section in October (the test isn't offered in Sept).

Karl's just been working hard and watching Carson, and making dinners, and cleaning the house. He has really pulled through for me. I'm so grateful he's willing to do so much so I can get this test over with.

I still haven't touched a camera, so sorry - no pics. I have to get back in the swing of things and carry it around with me every where like I did before.
