its been 10 years

so i went to my high school reunion this past weekend in alabama and it was a lot of fun. everyone looked the same. and the personalities are all the same too and it really got hilarious when everyone started drinking and i was the sober one since i'm not a big drinker. its true, alcohol does make everyone cooler!!

i graduated with a small class of around 50 people and we were all pretty close as a class. i was sort of the new kid on the block when i came there because i left chicago and my family and friends when i was 15 years old. it was quite the culture shock at first going from chicago to montgomery, alabama but i seemed to manage. the reunion was great though. about 25 of us showed up and we pretty much hung out all weekend and caught up with where everyone went in life. its pretty amazing to see the different paths we all took. thats the cool thing about life. you never know where you'll be 5-10-15 years down the road. never thought i would be living in georgia still... so we read our "10 year" prophesies...mine went something along the lines of still playing tennis in 2009 and selling works of art and marrying a country girl since my best friend in high school was a southern girl and i liked her accent :)

overall a great weekend though

bears won....bama won. both look really good. currently picking out a bama game and bears game to go to.

im debating on whether to take my last 2 parts of the cpa exam in this next testing window. i would love to be done with it by the end of november but financial is just so much material and i want to be 100% prepared and 1 month is short. i really need to get passed this one and ive never taken it before so im a little nervous. BEC i've taken and passed before so i know i can do that one in a few weeks of studying. i dont know and i dont want to stress out about it.

i've been going to church lately and its been helping me a lot. something was missing in my life and i found out what it was. ive finally met some truely amazing people and i love the people i go with. so positive, such a nice refresher and breadth of air. i need to keep putting God first in my life because i know that if i do, everything will be ok and my life will be ok. Em seems to like the church too :) i miss her and think about her all the time. you are so beautiful Em and i love you very much! you amaze me and i pray for you everyday

hopefully my true dreams will come true someday
