SO PROUD!

It's been an exciting few weeks in the Coats house. At the end of 2016 Matthew got promoted to Senior Associate, Assurance Services at his firm, and passed the final part of the CFE exam.  

He started the new year with a new title and a new certification 

under his belt- Matthew A. Coats, CPA, CFE, MBA

I had no doubt in my mind that he would get promoted at the end of the year. He has worked so, so hard these past two years at his firm, is respected by so many, and has excelled far past expectations. 

In 2016 he studied his tail off and passed all four parts of the CFE exam and can now add Certified Fraud Examiner to his list of certifications!

I know I've said this before, but I am truly grateful for this man. He has carried us through so much this past year, and I can't begin to thank him. 

Matthew, I am humbled by the way you love and serve me so well. I am thankful for your hard work and constant positive attitude throughout any situation, and most importantly, your leadership and pursuit of me. I am so glad we're on the same team!

SO PROUD!

THE MARRIAGE DIARIES VOL. 11

I am really bad at keeping up with these, considering our 1 year is just days away. Oh well, playing catch up today!

Here we are getting so close to celebrating our one year anniversary. Our time hop and Facebook memories are constantly showing us memories from a year ago, and I can't help but look back and tear up. This time last year we were running around getting the last minute details finished up. And I mean last minute details....Matthew had our wedding programs printed off the day before our wedding :) We had decided we didn't want them but then at the last minute decided we did. So with some quick designing on my end and quick thinking on Matthew's end we had our programs printed and ready to be handed out. It's little details like that I don't want to forget about our sweet day, and the days leading up to it.

We are getting settled into our home even more now than ever. The end of this month will mark 6 months in our home. We have furniture in almost every room, and we have gotten quotes on the paint and built-ins that we are eager about. Once the paint is finished we will start hanging stuff on the walls, and I know once we get into all of that it will feel even more like ours. We have established great relationships with both of our neighbors and love our little neighborhood. We have hosted family and friends many times and look forward to many more events in our home. 

We are in the middle of summer and I am loving every second of it! I know Matthew is more than ready for some cooler weather, but I am loving this summer. Last summer was SO fast paced and in all actuality revolved around wedding planning. It's so nice this summer to just come home to each other and watch a movie, do stuff around the house, run errands, or just go for a summer drive. Wedding planning was an extremely exciting time and I enjoyed every second of it, but I love the slower pace of life where we are in now. And savoring every moment, because I know life won't always be at the slow of a pace! 

Sharing life and a last name with this guy is simply the best.
