Hi everyone! Remember that post below where I was all proud of myself for going to my trainer? Yeah, well.. my arms are JUST NOW feeling back to normal. I suppose that's good since yesterday morning was legs workout w/ the trainer...and they're currently so sore, I have to use the bathroom sink to lower myself onto the potty. TMI? Yeah, it's my blog. Whatever. YEEEEOUCH!
Okay, soooo... I have some SUPER exciting news!!! See the guy in the pic with me below? (also known as my boyfriend, Eric) :)... Well... HE PASSED HIS LAST CPA EXAM! I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED FOR HIM! He found out Thursday and we immediately went for a couple drinks and some fat kid nachos at a local restaurant/bar! Official celebrations soon (once wedding season calms down). For peeps who don't know (b/c I didn't know either) the CPA is 4 exams, and most people take it over the course of a year or more. Eric started taking it last November and is now officially DONE! I seriously don't think it's hit either one of us that he's a CPA and done testing! So SO SO proud of him! The CPA was way crappier than the bar exam in many regards if you ask me. I got to pour it ALL into two months and one test. He had to study for 6 weeks...take a test...then start studying for the NEXT test before he even knew if he passed the first one. Icks. Anyway, I'm rambling, but I'm so happy!
The above is from the TU game Saturday....and WE FINALLY WON! I think it's b/c we were there. I'm just sayin.. haha.. ;)
And while I'm on the subject of the game, how freaking cute are these candy bar wrappers Eric's mom makes for the tailgates?! The best part... the ingredients listed on back= all the players names! ha!
After the game, we headed to Eric's friend's bday celebration at a new local bar called The Max (from Max Headroom if you remember that.. I'm old. Whatever). Anyway, it has tons of old school video games, skee ball, etc.. Awesome idea for a bar. We don't go out a ton (again with the "I'm old" comment), but I'd totally go back there! I also kicked Eric's @ss at skee ball. Just had to add that... He did, however, beat me at Pacman. ;)
Anyway, here's a shot from inside the bar...
***LAST WEEKEND****
I was a a slacker and never posted some pics from last weekend... We had a FABULOUS girls night on Saturday! And Kat came in town and surprised us! (That'd be Kat below making a face at the flaming volcano roll at sushi...haha..It was on FIRE, people!)
The group :)Okay, the following pics are a random inside joke and you wouldn't think it was that funny if I told you. But, we laugh hysterically at it, so whatever.. haha.. Please note that we were all trying to keep a serious face...and it wasn't happening.. haha.. Sarah (far left) is the most hilarious!
Fabulous girls night for sure... :)
More from last weekend.. Eric and I went to the Rock N Ribs Fest in downtown. Some photos! :) Ps.. I work in one of those tall buildings in the skyline! :)
mmmm..bbq.. (and an oddly large beer can). And you'll see I'm wearing the same scarf that I wore to the game this weekend. Whatever.
***RANDOM***
And since my blogging sometimes falls by the wayside by midweek, I'll just keeeeeep on a talkin while I'm on here... So Eric is kinda well rounded. He passes CPAs, he builds things, and he makes cool art stuff for walls. What do I mean? Okay, the below is fabric stretched across a wood frame in Eric's bedroom...and he MADE it! I seriously wanted one, so I found some fabric...and asked very nicely.. and... I'll just let you see the pics!
The frame is built!stapling fabric....
finished product in my room! It kinda makes everything else look small, but I don't care.. I love it! Major thanks to Eric! :)
So, this was a kinda random weekend recap post, huh? It was all over the board. Sorry about that.
I'm finally catching up on some dvr...including Glee's season premiere! With that, I'm signing off.. Hope you had a fabulous weekend, everyone! Can you BELIEVE this week starts October?! HOLY WOW!

I wish KY had a bar with the old school games like that-I feel like such a creeper to invade a Chuck E. Cheese just for my skeeball addiction. ;)
LOVED the Glee premiere! What did you think?!
Yay for Eric!!!! So exciting! Glad you had a fun weekend! I love the fabric wall thing! So cute! I used the same yellow fabric I used in my guestroom for pillows!
congrats to eric!! I had a good friend take the CPA a few years ago so I know all about the test after test after test. So glad he is done and passed!
I love skeeball!!
Eric is very crafty! I would love to have one of those on my wall.
Your room is super cute!
Glee is awesome. Best thing in the whole world. Enjoy. :)
I always feel like I need a really long and good massage after an intense workout because my whole body gets so sore and I can't pick anything up for days! I hope your pain goes away soon... but at least it means it's working. Like your freaking arms and legs need to look any hotter! Yeah I'm jealous, yeah I'm admitting it... ok, I'm over it :-)
Congrats to that man of your too! I bet that's a HUGE relief! And you look gorgeous as always in all those pictures!
I totally thought The Max was named after The Max from Saved By the Bell!!! Cmon, Kelly Kapowski? Zach Morris?
p.s. I like your 40 :)
Wow, you always have the cutest pictures. I wish all mine turned out like that!
And that picture over your bed is amazing. So he made the frame and then stretched the fabric over it? Did he dye the fabric or just find it at the store? I'm amazed by that - it looks SO good!
Congratulations to Eric on the CPA examps! WHat an accomplishment!

Eric is VERY talented; your art piece is awesome! It makes your room look finished. The yellow reminds me of you; a ray of sunshine in life. xoxo
Congrats to Eric, we have a friend trying to get through the CPA, so I know how difficult it is. Eric must be so relieved! The photos of all the ChiOs is adorable- miss all those faces so much! And I know I already said this, but your room looks fantastic! xoxo
First off, I HEAR YA GIRL! I did legs at the gym last week and thought I might possibly die the next day! It hurt to pee, stand, sit, cross my legs, breathe...
CONGRATS TO ERIC!! I know y'all are both super relieved all the exam business is over! Y'all definitely deserve a vacay after all of that! Have you considered Maui? ; )

Love the art Eric made for your room. Looks awesome!
glad you had a good weekend! My mom was just telling me how she has seen such cute art lately from canvas/fabric type art!!
Yaaaaay Eric! And yaaaay awesome art! I am definitely wanting to steal that idea for an art piece--it looks amazing!
That wall art fits perfectly in your room!
Y'all make a great team!
I just have to ask where you get fabric like that?! I would love to make one of those for my bedroom and all I can find are the general multi patterned fabrics.
Let me know if you can and if I do a post then I will for sure link back to you!
