Life Update 2.0

Lauren, has requested another life update. Thanks for thinking of me lovely. :)

I have been on a bit of a break from blogging. Not because I don't love to put down my thoughts, events, etc., but because I have been way too stinkin busy.
Real Estate
For 12 days in September, I crammed 90 hours worth of education down my throat. In addition to my part time job? I was way busier then than most 2 week intervals in college.

Then I spent hours and hours between the end of my class, September 18th, and yesterday, cramming for the exams. 1 school exam (average of 3 attempts before someone passes- I did it on the first shot - woo hoo!), 1 national exam (pretty easy based off my previous studying) and 1 state exam (see national exam). I finished with my testing yesterday! woo hoo!

Thhhhheeeeennnn the 6 additional hours you have to take, finished that this last Saturday [awesome Saturday. sarcasm intended.]

I interviewed brokers. 3 to be exact. [If you don't know, interviewing brokers (the person who is, sort of, legally responsible for a real estate agent) is not like interviewing for any other job. Instead of them interviewing me, it's more like me interviewing them. So all in all, a pretty awesome experience.] I met with one good broker, 1 horrible one, and 1 absolutely fantastic one. Guess which one I went with. That's right, absolutely fantastic brokerage. More specifically,
I am absolutely extatic about choosing KW, and the Biltmore Partners seem to be a perfect fit for me.
Licensing
You don't just become a RE agent over night, too bad, hunh? but I have completed most of what I need done. In fact, I hope to be licensed tomorrow!!
Life
In spite of the fact that I have been crazy busy and absolutely overwhelmed, life is fantastic.
-This past Friday we celebrated Brandon, Dad and Grandfather's birthdays. It was really nice to have the family together.





-I spent this past Saturday evening with Cammie and Nicki, eating confusing pitas and seeing What's your number? Absolutely hilarious and it was wonderful to spend time with ma ladies.
-I was in Tucson just over a week ago, which was also fantastic. [see separate post when I'm blogging from home] and this upcoming weekend Nicki and I will be rendezvousing in California at Disneyland in celebration of her birthday! [believe me, there will be pictures]
-A pretty fantastic group of us are planning a half marathon at Disney next September [which my mom has started training for and I'm so proud of her].
-Dustin is fantabulous- and doing so stinkin well at his new job :)
-Nicki and I got to visit Kieren about a month ago, her little Clara is just so precious!!! Also, her new place has so much space! It's a pretty wonderful place.
looks like someone missed the stripes memo
Ma Face/Body
As you probably remember from these Frankenstein pictures, I was in a pretty gnarly accident. Well, I'm lookin a little bit better! I've finished 6 weeks of physical therapy, and finally was able to run my first mile this past Monday (and again with mom yesterday). Welcome back knee!!! Although, I would like to say when I was in Tucson, peeps felt it necessary to rub my scar without my offer/their asking. you're weird.

Ehhh, that's enough for now. How about I just become a little bit more regular on my posting? deal.

What does your life update look like?
