A Bride, A Prince and A Test



I know, I know. I haven't updated in forever...

Last weekend was my sister's wedding. It was a beautiful day, and she makes a beautiful bride. Everything worked out pretty well. Pictures were delayed a little bit, but in the end all the pictures were taken. The reception was beautiful too. I am still incredibly happy for my sister. Right now she and Pranob are probably on their honeymoon. (They had a reception in India today with Pranob's family and left sometime today for their honeymoon). I really hope that they have a nice and relaxing time. It can't be easy to essentially plan two weddings, one on the other side of the world.


After the wedding we went to see Prince Caspian with some of our friends (for those who don't know, the wedding was in the morning, so we were home and done by 5 pm). The movie was great. I really liked it. But it did make me realize that I really don't remember the books. I will be reading those this summer.

Last Wednesday was test three for the CPA. I think it went pretty well. Still haven't heard on my second test. I'm guessing that both results will be here towards the end of June. Keeping my fingers crossed for good news on both of them.

Fairies Take All


Yesterday turned out to be a beautiful day for the Run of the Mills 5k. It started off chilly, and it was a bit windy, but the sun was out and the rain/snow stayed away.


Again Team Tortoise was the crowd favorite. We got interviewed for a Fortune 500 movie GMI is putting together, the photographer took a ton of pictures of us, and - the best part - little girls came up and asked to get their pictures with us. It was so sweet.


We finished ahead of our target time of 32 by coming in around 30 minutes exactly.


At the award ceremony we ended up winning the women's team division for time (?!)... And we won best costume! We were so excited. Especially because of the "upset" last year. It was kind of funny... a couple of people recognized our team from last year and let us know they still thought we should have won last year for costumes.


We are taking ideas for next year's costumes. If you have any ideas, let me know!
