Certified Public Accountant

James took and passed the CPA exam awhile ago, but he just recently received his CPA certificate. It's official! There was a ceremony like a graduation where all the CPA's walked across a stage to accept their certificates. It was held in Austin, so we drove there last weekend with James' parents for the event. James sat on the stage, and he was the most handsome guy up there, of course. He gave a 5 minute speech about priorities and allocating your time to things that bring the most happiness in life. He did a great job. I was probably more nervous than he was... I could've never done that in front of that large, intimidating crowd. In his talk, he mentioned Hazel, and I think that got the most applause out of everything. Lots of people came up afterward to meet and congratulate us on our sweet angel. Good thing my cousin Astrid sent such an adorable outfit to Hazel so she could wear it to the event! I was pretty proud of my husband and baby. I hope that's an okay type of pride. Anyway, congrats to James!

Congratulations, buddy, on the CPA exam and on the beautiful baby. Maybe our little ones can hang out at the Y like their dads. Hope all is well.

You forgot to mention that he was the one chosen to give the talk because he scored #1 and he is the SMARTEST GUY IN TEXAS!!!
