I have credentials!

Yesterday was a monumental day, I took the RD exam and passed!!It's such a wonderful feeling, I walked out of the testing center and just wanted to dance and scream. I still just sit and think about what a good feeling this is.... Although it's kind of a strange feeling as well. For the past 6 years my life has been building for this day and now that I've reached it I'm not sure what to do. Actually I have lots of things to do.
Now I can do fun things and not feel guilty thinking that I should be studying. On my agenda for now, baby things. We're going to start painting her room which will be adorable, and I haven't bought anything except for some packages of diapers. It's a good thing I still have 9 weeks.
I'll also be starting The Host. My friend Chris has been tempting me to read it but I stayed strong and said I couldn't till after my test.
Hope everyone else has a great day

A First for Everything

So I'm a cute little Mormon girl who has lived in Utah my whole life and I canned for the first time over the weekend! My cute friends Lauren and Chris came over and we bottled 3 bushels of peaches- that came out to be 66 bottles! It was a huge success, Chris was the mastermind in our canning experiences, Lauren and I took orders and we did great. Steve was worried that we might never have a clean kitchen again but by the end of the day everything was cleaned and all the jars sealed- it was so exciting to here them pop throughout the afternoon! I think our next adventure will be applesauce in a couple of weeks.
