Celebration!

Yesterday I had to break out the bottle to celebrate! After a long 15 months, I finally completed my Certificate of Christian Counseling program. I haven't received official results from my final test, but I have "attended" all the classes and taken all the tests. It is finished! It was a 30 hour program that I worked on sporadically for the past 15 months. I have two specialty areas, 30 hours each, that I hope to work on over the next few months. I'm hoping these next two rounds won't take as long to complete. I've found a creative way to complete my classes that is working very well for me. Let's just say understanding the fast New York conversations growing up is coming in handy these days.

**A little side bar about my bottle...first notice the pink wrap on the top...I supported Breast Cancer Research when I bought this...second you all know I don't drink so this is what I really have in my refrigerator waiting to be opened and downed:



My favorite part is that the young guy at the grocery store actually put this in a brown paper bag. What would the church folk say with me carrying around a bottle in a brown bag!?!?! It makes me laugh!
