I Passed, I Passed!!!

A week after Cienna's Birthday, I sat for my Series 24 General Securities Principal licensing exam. After months and months of studying, I felt I was ready to take it. I was confident and knew I could ace it. However, it was the most difficult exam I have ever taken. There were moments where I actually threw my hands up in the air in frustration and added colorful explatives. 155 questions on over 600 pages of information was brutal. After almost 3 hours of testing, I finished the exam and hit the dreaded complete button. I sat there with my hands covering my eyes while the computer tallied my score. I was sure I failed. I peeked between my fingers, still tallying! I closed my eyes and let out a deep breath. I peeked again and saw that the score was ready. I looked up at the score section and saw 74! I PASSED!!! I seriously could not believe it and sat there shaking a bit, letting those months of stress and recent sleepness night pass through me. I would be able to return to my regular life again! YAHOOO!!!! I celebrated by going to the mall across the street from the testing facility and buying new make up and a new outfit.

Cienna's 1st Birthday

How cute is she! Cienna is my cousin Samantha's little girl and she is adorable. Her birthday was held at a local park and the weather was amazing. Happy 1st Birthday, CiCi.

Tita Rita's Birthday

If you haven't noticed, my, Jaime and my Mom's birthday's are all in August (remember, I'm extremely behind on my posts). It's a busy month in our family. We took my mom out to Bahama Breeze for her birthday this year. Happy Birthday, Mom!!

Jaime's Birthday

So I was looking through my pictures and found that I did not take a picture of Jaime on his birthday. I am a serious slacker!! Happy Birthday, Dear. :) We did go to Paul and Veronica's for a pool party, so Jaime ended up taking lots of pictures of Michael and I. It was Michael's first time in a pool and it took some major coaxing but he finally got in and then loved it. Yes, shocking, I know. I don't think he takes after his father and his fear of water and sharks. LOL.

Melysa's Birthday

I had a great birthday. Jaime threw me a surprise party and invited our friends over. It was quite the party, considering we had a certain little someone hanging out with us... Michael was Mr. Party and refused to go to bed, but was great with no whining.

Michael decorating my cake:


Paul and Steve hanging out in the ball pit. I'm amazed that thing can hold 2 grown men and a toddler...


Michael and Vernonica trying on some specticles.

The next day, Jaime and I went for a grown up dinner at Fogo de Chao, a Brazillian BBQ place. He even set up the babysitter and all! Dinner was fabulous and I even had a cute little surprise from my boy when I got home.
