Test #2: PASSED!!!!!

It's official! Michael is now a licensed pharmacist! He will begin working at his own pharmacy soon instead of with another pharmacist. We are both very excited!

Test #1: PASSED

I just ran to the mailbox to check and see if the results of the first part of Michael's board exam came and it did...he passed!

Now we're just waiting on the results of the second part which we should hopefully know by the end of this week.

iMac

Michael and I finally bit the bullet and bought a new computer.  So, I am now blogging on our new iMac.  Isn't it beautiful?

I still have so much to learn about Apple computers since I didn't grow up with an Apple but I'm getting there with Michael's help.

Pencils down

Michael finished taking the last of his licensing exams on Monday. He said it was very tough but I'm sure he passed. Now we just have to wait for the results. Thank you to everyone who was praying for him and for following up on the results.

Our anniversary is Thursday so we're planning a nice meal out and then Michael and I are taking off work on Friday for a trip to Granbury, TX. I've been wanting to go to Granbury for a long time and Michael and I are finally getting to go. From what Michael tells me it's a cute town with a historic square that has tons of cute shops. I can't wait! This will be a nice get-away from our usual routine of work/study/testing even if it's not a get-away to a far off place. On second thought, if anyone wants to chip into the "Send Michael and Katie on a fantastic vacation to Tennessee" fund we would be more than happy to accept donations! Hahahaha!

Testing...1,2,3

Michael will be taking the first out of two pharmacy board exams this Friday. The second one is scheduled for July 8th. After he completes both tests and sends in the licensing fee, he will officially be a licensed pharmacist. Yay!!

He has been studying very hard in preparation for the tests, however, please pray that the information would be quickly and easily recalled during the testing.

Beauty

This is just a picture of a rose I took. I liked how it turned out so I thought I'd share it.

Remembering a Wonderful Weekend

The Weekend to Remember conference at the Gaylord Texan hotel definitely lived up to its name. The speakers were funny, the material was great, and the weekend was definitely romantic.

We haven't been having marital problems, but like any marriage it's good to have a refresher on the roles in a Godly marriage and how we are each God's gift to the other. It opened my eyes to areas I have been lacking in and need to correct so that I can be the wife the Lord wants me to be. Aside from my heavenly Father, Michael is the next most important person in my life and I want to honor and respect him in every way possible.

Here are a few pictures of the hotel:

Michael's new friend

During the summer at the Gaylor Texan the hotel has various "summer" activities such as fireworks, dive-in movies at the pool, and little acts that can be found around the atrium like this monkey with his handler. Right after I took this photo the crazy monkey reached in Michael's shirt pocket, pulled out our room key, and handed it to his handler. That is one strange trick.
