Two HUGE Occasions

1. Ben passed the PE!!! The PE stands for Professional Engineer. It is an extremely difficult 8 hour exam. Ben doesn't like me to express the difficulty because he feels that everyone else has hard tests, but I would just like to say that they let you take ANYTHING you want into the exam (suitcase of textbooks if you desire) and it's still considered one of the most difficult exams among engineers. It has been such a time consumer for the last year. He has gotten up at 5:30 to study for several months. And I didn't have a husband for the two weeks prior to the exam. It is a HUGE deal!!! I was screaming for like 3 minutes when he came home to tell me. We had to wait for 6 weeks to hear back the results. Civil Engineers can take this test after obtaining a bachelors and have 4 years work experience as an EIT (Engineer in training.) He will receive a stamp and a number that he will sign plans with. He can design our own home if we want! :) Very cool. Way to go sweetheart! You are awesome! (This picture is from our Dallas trip. I love it.)

2. Maddy graduated from West Lake High School! We went to the graduation last night and she looked beautiful. We were in a fun mood, so enjoy our faces.
