We Passed!!

As you can see from the certificate in the picture above, Ryan and I successfully completed Pre-Cana, and it appears that they might actually let us get married. We spent 4 hours on each of the past 2 Sundays with 7 other couples getting to know one another better and discussing the important topics such as communications, decision-making, intimacy, finances, and spirituality. Despite our expectations and what we'd been told by other couples who had been through it, it actually wasn't as hard as we expected. And, I think we actually learned some new things about each other - specifically, that Ryan thinks I'm disorganized. For the record, I am NOT disorganized... Just because I lose my keys every once and a while doesn't make me disorganized!! Anyway... I'm not bitter or anything.

I know I've been slacking on keeping the blog updated, but work has been pretty busy (as expected). But I have some good news and this working-like-a-dog thing should be changing soon - I have resigned from my job at E&Y and will be working in financial reporting for a former client in downtown Baltimore starting March 10th! I always said that if I left E&Y, I would love to work for this Company, and I could not be more excited. 3 mile commute, here I come!

While I've been busy working late, Ryan has been keeping himself busy with the new Wii and at his woodworking class. When Ryan found out that I got the new job, his response was that he got a raise and that we should get a Wii! I have to say that I wasn't exactly on board with this purchase, but it has been a lot of fun to play. It is pretty pathetic that our arms get sore from playing - guess we should start hitting the gym so we can keep playing the Wii without the soreness. Ryan is busy practicing so the next time he hangs out with his cousins, he'll have a better chance of making it competitive! Ryan seems to be enjoying his woodworking class and within the next week or so, he should have a new, completed project that I can share with everyone!

Guess that's about all the excitement for now. Stay tuned for more wedding updates. I can't believe it's almost 8 months away!!
