I was kidnapped...kinda

I was going through old pictures the other day and realized I didn't share this with y'all.   Last spring semester, I think it was in March or around that time, Matthew had a pretty big paper to work on. We had an intramural game that night so he had to stay up late to finish it, you know typical college stuff. Well I went back to my apartment after our game and he went back to his to continue working on it. I showered and went to bed like normal.   ****Here is something you need to know. I lived in an apartment with two of my friends and it was all a one story apartment. I had one of the bedrooms in the back part of the apartment and sometimes got creeped out because out of my window at night was really dark and a lot of bushes. I kept my blinds closed 98 % of the time. Also, I keep my phone on silent while I sleep. Ya girl doesn't want to be bothered, LOL just kidding. I wake up 1-2 times a night on my own so there really is no need to leave my phone on vibrate.****   Anyways, back to the story, I went to bed like normal and around 2:00 AM, I heard this noise, insert minor panic attack and thoughts of someone coming through my window to kidnap and kill me. I also notice my phone is lit UP and then a call from Matthew comes in. I answer it and immediately ask "ARE YOU AT MY WINDOW?!?" and I hear him laughing and he says yes, insert total relief that I'm not about to die.   So I get up and raise my blinds up, while still talking to him on the phone (I'm not sure why I didn't raise my window?) I asked him what he was doing all nonchalantly, like it's totally normal for him to be there at 2:00 in the morning. He told me he had just finished his paper and wanted to celebrate by going to Steak 'N Shake for half price milkshakes.   My thoughts went exactly like this... I have to be at work in like 6 hours....but half price milkshakes I'm going to be exhausted tomorrow....HE IS JUST THE CUTEST THING STANDING OUTSIDE MY WINDOW IN THE FREEZING COLD I hope I don't fall asleep at work tomorrow...but milkshakes... and in about 2 seconds I was putting on a big sweatshirt and hopping in his car to get MILKSHAKES.  

    We were as giddy as 4 year olds laughing and dancing the whole car ride there. Matthew told me he had been outside my window for about ten minutes knocking on my window and had even gone back to his car a couple of times because he didn't want to wake up my roommates. Is he not the sweetest thing, EVER?!?

3 down, 1 to go!

You may have read before when I mentioned Matthew is studying and sitting for all four parts of the CPA exam this summer. He has easily put in over 200+ hours of studying so far and still has probably another 100+ to go before he is finished. Can I also add that it is VERY rare that someone even starts studying for the CPA exams before they graduate with their masters, let alone sit for them? He graduates with his master of Accounting this December and Lord willing he will be able to tell companies that he has already taken and passed all four parts of the CPA exam. There really are no words to describe how proud of him I am and all his hard work he has put in this summer. I have hated seeing him spend his last summer before he gets a big boy job stuck in the library and studying for 8+ hours a day but he knows and I do as well that it will ALL be worth it in the long run.   He took the first exam and we found out pretty soon after his scores but for some reason the second and third scores took over six weeks to come out. Talk about frustrating!!  Well, this past Saturday morning he got them and he passed the second and third parts!! He has already been studying for the last and final (hallelujah) part, and he will take it at the end of this month.   I told him with each one he passes we will celebrate small and then when he passes all four of them we will do something a little bigger. With the first one we celebrated by making ice cream sundaes at my apartment. We celebrated the second and third one with Mexican last night!!

Matthew had plans to go to munch yesterday (lunch with guy friends = munch) and they had just arrived at the Mexican restaurant and he got a call from his brother. He needed Matthew to come pick him up because his truck wouldn't start. So long story short Matthew missed out on getting to eat at his favorite Mexican restaurant. He told me while I was still at work, so I called and ordered it to go for dinner! We had planned to have chicken pot pie for dinner but why not push it back a night so we can celebrate?!?!   I told him to stay at his apartment and study until I let him know dinner is ready and that I needed to stop by the store to get some things. I told him I found a new dessert recipe that I wanted to try lol to throw him off and it worked! He was surprised and we had some delicious Mexican before his first two softballs games of the season! :)     Also, we were A LOT slower at work than we have been all year. Seriously, I took half the calls I have been since January. Praying it stays that way!!!! Monday wasn't so bad after all ;)

August goals

 

 

-Drink more water I have been a little better about this. I usually only have one coke per day and I drink a lot of water during the days at work.   -Join the gym Planet Fitness just opened up here, I have read plenty of things about how Planet Fitness is a joke of a gym (hence: they hand out pizza and bagels) but 1.) I obviously am not going to the gym to eat unhealthy food  2.) It is one of the cheapest gyms in Cookeville so yes I will pick there to workout!   -Workout 3-4 times a week   -Finish decorating my apartment I am SO close to being finished! I just have a few more projects I need to tackle this month.   -Make a wreath for my front door Well, first I need to learn how to. I have watched countless videos on how to make a burlap wreath and I still just can't get it to look right but I am determined to learn how.   -Save money     HAPPY FRIDAY!!
