Anything But Gray

Ceci is out of town. Again.
I haven't talked much about Ceci lately because she has been essentially MIA for 3, almost 4 months. She has been studying to take her EA exam. EA means Enrolled Agent and it's an exam for taxes, to be able to do taxes for people.(that's a very basic description) Well her and JR went to Texas to visit Barbara, Frank & Isabel and Ceci took her exam there. It's divided into 3 tests and she passed 2 of them, which is friggin' awesome! But she still has to pass that 3rd one to become an Enrolled Agent. So she left tonight for Seattle and she'll take the exam tomorrow at noon. We are really, really praying she passes. She missed it by ONE question when she took it in Texas. One stupid question. How insane is that??
She takes the test at noon on Wednesday and she's scheduled to come home Thursday night at like 10pm. Which would mean she would completely miss Ben's birthday. BUT..she's going to try to get home sooner. She's going to try to get a noon flight out of Seattle to be back for Ben's birthday. I am REALLY happy about that. This could conceivably be the last birthday she gets to spend with him for years, so I really wanted her to be here and when she first made the plans, I was so heartbroken. She had to use this ticket by the 28th or she would've lost it, so I understood why she had to go and I obviously didn't dump my crap on her, but boy…I was bummed.
I was so, so happy when she told me she was going to try to get back for his birthday. As of today there are 21 seats available on the flight she wants to take out of Seattle in order to get back in time for Ben's birthday, so it looks good.
I just hope that she PASSES and flies back here ELATED!! She has worked so, so hard for this and I so want her to pass. It's not the end of the world if she doesn't, but it'll be a bummer for her and I'll feel so bad for her, just because she's worked so very hard and literally has put her life on hold for almost 4 months so she could do this…
So, maybe if you're the praying kind, send a little prayer of encouragement up for Ceci. 🙂
Thanks!!

Today is Seany's birthday. I miss him and I was thinking of him all day.
Happy, Happy Birthday Seany!!
I love you!!
