He's lucky to have you, Kandis!

BTW, last night at the skating rink did not go so well. I underestimated my skating abilities.

Just wanted to give everyone an update. I passed my last test in July and found out I passed on Sept 17th. I received my congratulatory letter in the mail yesterday from the TN saying that they have received all my scores. The letter also stated that I need to take the ethics exam (which I have already completed) and that once they receive that score they will send the application packet.

@kandis

Have you thought about renting a vacation house in tahoe and having a small wedding/family weekend? I was thinking about that because its soooo expensive to rent a nice venue (like a country club, banquet hall or winery), but a vacation rental, even a large one with 4-5 bedrooms is way cheaper, and some have larger backyards or even lake front beaches for the ceremony. Also if you rent a vacation house you can cook/grill/bbq for everyone instead of paying for catering.

Congrats on the CPA and the engagement!!!!!

@Allyson – lol I know, skating takes a while to get comfortable with. I fell a lot when I first started. I'm so glad I stuck with it though because it's awesome now. I still get super sore after some of our practices though. It's a tough sport.

@COA2010TN – Congrats!!!

@CalCPASoon – I never thought of doing something like that. I'll check it out. 🙂 That would be a lot of fun… Thanks!

I miss y'all!

I'm still worn out too, but tonight I finally finished my ethics test! Work has been pure hell lately, which is why it took me so long. But I'm done! Let the recovery begin.

Kandis, I hope you have lots of fun planning your wedding. That must be so exciting!

Allyson, That's awesome that you went skating!

Congrats to CPA2010TN!

Hey T-rex, grats on getting that Ethics exam done. It's such a relief, isn't it? : ) What are you going to do with all your spare time now?

I was playing video games with my fiance this weekend (what can I say, I'm a nerd) and I just randomly turned to him and said “I can't believe that I passed REG!” lol I probably say that at least once per week. I'm still shocked!!! I was so sure that I had failed!

Hi, Kandis! Thank you! It is a relief. I feel like I'm finally really done, with the CA license anyway. TX may be another story, but I'm not going to worry about that just yet.

That must be so nice to finally have more time for your fiance! Video games are fun! I'm still shocked, too, that I passed FAR.

“We have now received all of the documents required to initiate the evaluation of your application for licensure.

Results of this review will be mailed to you in approximately 4 to 6 weeks. During this time, status reports will not be given.”

Thanks guys :0) I wasn't trying to brag or anything, I just promised some folks on here that I would keep them updated on the whole application process.

@killaking – lol partying huh? Visiting with friends you haven't seen in a while or what?

There's still a small part of me that's terrified that my application will be denied. Like they'll find some random criminal activity that I don't even know about, or my education won't be good enough. Or that I didn't really pass REG and they got my score mixed up with someone else's. I know it's all extremely unlikely, but I will feel a lot better when my application is approved.

@kandisjoy, I'm afraid that any day now I'll get a call from the state board saying they made a mistake and some of my classes don't meet the requirement of 24 hours of accounting and 24 hours of business. I won't be easy til I have that piece of paper in my hand.

And you brag all you want. You did it!

Just finished the fourth test (REG) and experiencing a withdrawal symptom 🙂

Anyway, taking the family to a well deserved vacation (Dominican Republic) for putting up with my schedule for the past 2 years.

Congrads to all who passed and good luck to all who are still on the way.
