GRRRREAT NEWS!!!!

Scott passed all 4 of the CPA exams!!!! Congratulations Scott!!!!

We went out to eat at the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate. Fortunately for all of our many fans and blog-followers we didn't take pictures of us stuffing ourselves:) It was good and we enjoyed a shared slice of blueberry cheesecake.

Scott is not yet CPA certified, as he needs to take 2 more classes, but the hard part is now over!!!!

Our Latest Purchase: A Toyota Tacoma

We thought it was time to upgrade from our 1997 and 1998 cars for something with a few less miles...so we found ourselves a truck!

We bought it from an older couple who are still in their prime--only 82 and 86 years old!! Needless to say, they kept very good care of this truck (he even gave us all the receipts of when the oil was changed) and only drove it 18,000 miles, rounding up of course.

Look at that manly man! Now he can haul stuff!

The tires are a bit wimpy, but we'll upgrade when they wear out:)

Scott's Special Day--Sept. 4th

Scott just got done taking his last CPA exam the week before his birthday and wanted a relaxing Big Day. So that's what he got!
 
And a photo scavenger hunt of 25 things that he needed to get done for his 25th birthday. Some of those included:
   
Breakfast in Bed--With muffins from Costco(mmmmm...) and some homemade too.
A receipt for 25 cents worth of gas.
 
1:40--The time Scott was born.
  
Getting something from a 25 cent machine (except now they're 50 cents)--Now I know that I don't prefer Scott with a blonde mustache:)
  
Frying bananas.
In front of the Indian Restaurant where Scott wanted to eat.
  
Having your spouse pick out an outfit from a thrift store--and having to wear it.
  
Blowing out 25 candles.
 
Kissing in the sunset (we had to pull off the side of the road to get it!) 
Opening Presents.

It was a fun day! Happy Quarter of a Century Scott!!!
