    Congratulations to all those who have passed recently. I no longer surf Another71.com as I had in the past but Jeff and others such as Allyson played a huge part during my CPA journey that I will always visit from time to time more so around score release time. The feeling of becoming a CPA was great as you all probably feel now. Whyeventry-I love the baby picture (I have six kids) and Allyson-I see you went back to your original picture which is just adorable. Congrats again to everyone and it was worth it for me and it will be for you too. There are so many life lessons you will learn as a result of your journey and I try to pass mine on to those I encounter who are taking the CPA exam. I feel I am just passing on what Jeff and others on Another71.com had passed on to me. It has been awhile since I have posted, but Jeff I will always be greatful for how you help me on my journey.

    @kandis,

    Yes, I will have to repay to get my fingerprinting done. It's not that expensive, but it is a huge hassle. I'll also need to stop payment on the check I wrote to the board.

    I haven't sent my licensing application in yet. I'm holding off this time until I have everything ready to go. All I need now are the fingerprint cards and a passport photo. I should be able to get my fingerprinting done this week if I receive the new set of cards from the board.

    I'm also still working on the ethics test. So far I've completed 22 questions. I'm just so not motivated right now. Sigh. You'd think I'd be a bit more eager to put this behind me. Part of my problem is knowing that the board can take up to 4 months to process my fingerprints.

    Congrats to everyone who's done…I passed REG in the last window to finish and It's just now starting to sink in. I turned the paperwork in within a week of receiving my last score. Then I found out a bottleneck with the exam folks sending the grades. I was told they're in no hurry….good grief!

    Now that testing is all over we're all set to go, right? WRONG! I sent all my stuff in to the board, got approved, paid them money, and as of early Sept I've been a CPA! YAY! Except I just got another letter in the mail saying that my license now expires on 12/31/11 and I need to send in $120 more…

    Good thing I paid $60 to be a CPA for 3 months… lame.

    The Virginia Society of Public Accountants just gave me a free membership! I wonder if they have parties . . . But seriously, the VA accountants are sure a friendly bunch, the staff at the state accountancy board also rocks.

    Is anyone else still exhausted from finally passing the CPA exam?

    This is a busy week at work and all I have wanted to do since I passed the exam is sleep for a week.

    Maybe I'm just old.

    Yeah Allyson, I think I've actually been just as exhausted as I was before I found out that I passed. I've been trying to deal with all the things that I put off because of my exam… like planning my wedding, home improvements, reconnecting with old friends. It's much better than studying, that's for sure – but still tiring!

    @kandis,

    I know what you mean. Two years of procratinating on personal and work projects has caught up with me and I'm wearing myself out trying to play catch-up.

    It is still sooooo much better than studying! Every time I think about it, I am grateful to be done.

    @kandis,

    @Allyson – That's awesome! I hope that you have a lot of fun. 🙂 Did you contact the league? They might have spare skates and protective gear that you can use for your first few days, just to see if you like it. Make sure you bring a mouth guard (just a top teeth mouth guard is fine, you can get one for about $10). Let me know how it goes. 🙂

    And remember, you will probably fall on your butt a lot for the first couple practices. It's normal. Don't give up. But also be careful because a broken tail bone is not a fun thing to have.

    @markiux – LOL! Wouldn't that be something… I think we're actually going to elope and then plan a big BBQ at our house a little while later. I don't think that my house could fit all of the wonderful people I've met on these forums.

    Since my fiance and I are paying for everything ourselves, we've decided to do it our way. And we want to have FUN on our wedding day! 🙂 Maybe run away to Lake Tahoe or something and get hitched, then go kayaking or on a long hike.. or both. Or maybe Disneyland?? Who knows… Then come home and plan a big casual party at my house.. flip flops encouraged, heels forbidden!

    It should be a good time. I'm excited to start planning. 🙂 And excited to finally marry the poor guy that knows what he is getting into but for some reason still wants to marry me.
